Mr. McLean informed the Commission members that Ken Gourley had been transferred to the Planning and Zoning Board and that the Park Commission is now two members short and asked that each member try to come up with a name for appointment to the Park Commission. The first item for discussion was the Hall Park and the condition of the back stops . Mr. Resch asked for a completion date on the installation of the back stops and was told that the work should be completed by June 6, 1975. There had been some delay due to the wet weather. Mr. McLean brought up the discussion of the bids for the backstops and explained that he had made an error at the May 42, 1975 Council Meeting when reading the bids. He stated that the bid from the Lino Athletic Association did not include the cost of the cement. Mr. Hanson informed Mr. McLean on Tuesday that the bid that was submitted and react and the Council Meeting did include the cost of the cement. Mr. McLean apologized for his error and explained that the Saturday before the Council Meeting he had met with Mr. Hanson and the bid submitted then did not include the cement and he assumed that the final bid was the same. Mr. Resch said that that cleared up the questions and the reactions to the matter. Mr. McLean said that he had a lead on some hose for the City about 500 to 600' of hose and when it is needed he would get the information to the Commission and the Council. He felt that there will be a need to water this summer if it is as dry as last year. At Lino Park the culvert for the parking areas has been installed and it will be staked and pured this week, weather permitting. The Lions Club is in the process of obtaining parking stops for Lino Park. The well at the Hall Park has been inspected and it appears that the only problem is an undersized motor in a large casing. It may be possible to convert to a larger motor and solve the problem that way. The Engineer is looking into alternatives for the field house at the Hall Park and will report back as .soon as possible. At Sunrise Park the hockey boards and rinks were badly damaged in the storm on May 19, 1975. The City Crews will be forwarding a repair schedule shortly.
