Mr. Zelinka reported on a Resolution passed by the Park Board that that Board have control of all Park Lands in the City and that, if any Park Land is sold, that money be put in the escrow fund for Park purposes. The Council felt that control of the Park lands must remain within the jurisdiction of the Council since the Park Board is only an advisory Board and cannot make decisions. However, they agreed that recommendations from that Board have priority as to the use of the park lands. The matter on money received from lands being sold being put in a dedicated fund was discussed with Council agreement. This is a part of the Ordinance. The Park Board had recommended money in leiu of alnd for the Oak Knoll addition. The Recreation Association had requested permission to store equipment over the proposed warming house area in the new building. The general consensus of the Council was there is no objections to using this area for storage of equipment provided the Association provides the City with a release for all responsibility for the materials sotred. In the matter of completing that portion of the building to be used as a warming house, Mr. Zelinka moved a building permit be applied for and any portion of the fee that would be retained by the City, be waived, The surcharges and inspection fees be paid from Park Funds.
