The first being a letter he had received from Jamie and Dan Ferguson regarding playground equipment for Birch Park. He read the letter and explained that they had been promised more playground equipment in addition to the swings and slide that they already have and they are requesting it at this time. George commented on the fact that Birch Park is a relatively developed park with a hockey rink, ball park, and a metal slide which is a safety issue. The park is older, heavily used by many families, and is programmed for little league. Sharon Lane stated that although it was no excuse for no playground equipment, and she did feel badly about the situation, the promises made for more equipment did not come from the Park Board, but possibly a developer. George pointed out that he remembered the land being dedicated in lieu of money. 1
