PARK BOARD April 7, 1986 Page Three Mr. Nissen felt that one point which needs to be clarified within the lease is whether or not necessary grading would be considered an "improvement". He also suggested that the Park Board continue their plans for completing Shenandoah Park per the 5-year comprehensive plan before completing this new property. MOTION: Mr. Flannery moved to approve in principal the lease for 40 acres from the School Board and further negotiate the lease. Motion seconded by Ray Johnson. Carried unanimously. POLICE VANDALISM REPORTS The Board reviewed two reports of damage to park property. Mr. Volk stated that neither report had extensive damage and that the Police Department is now informed that some parks need to be locked and unlocked and are doing so as close as possible to the closing/opening times for the parks. OLD BUSINESS BMX Track Ray Johnson reported that per a 217186 letter to Mr. Kleinhans from the BMX Association Board of Directors, Mr. Kleinhans is no longer the track/race director, and that no restitution has been made by Mr. Kleinhans for financial problems experienced.
