Mr. Schneider reported on the Park Board meeting held on March 21, 1977. A represent- ative of the Centennial Hockey Association had been present to talk about the past season. There had been a problem with the lighting and a suggestion of moving the lights from one rink to the other and only having one lighted rink was considered with no dec- ision. This will be discussed further. Mr. Schneider felt the meetings with the Association had occurred too late this past year and he would like to meet with them sometime in July to start the planning for next year. He has also asked Mr. Volk for cost estimates for improving the rink and also rink maintenance costs from other communities. The ag lime for the ball fields is planned for the later part of April, also, a new mower is needed; estimated cost - $550.00. To repair the old one will cost approx- imately $130.00 for parts. This will be discussed in April. The final concept for the Hall park will also be ready for the April meeting. The matter of the seaplane base was discussed. Mr. Schneider said he has not set a meeting as yet - he has talked with Mr. Lehmann and told him of the article on the Blue Herons. The Park Board will do their annual park inspection sometime this month and discuss the maintenance needed at the April meeting. Also, the post for the back stop IS to be removed from the ball field at the corner of Sunrise and Glenview.
