Although there are not a great number <br />of actian ite�, there is a considerab�e amount of general updating and <br />discussion ite� on the agenda. <br />Staff has been emersed in the 1980 budget preparation and it appears that <br />a balanced budget will be presented to the Councii in early Septeirber. <br />The public bud9et hearing has been scheduted for September 24 and it should <br />prove to be an interesting evening. <br />There are a couple of park sites that have been under construction during <br />the past month that you may care to drive past if your schedute permits: <br />1. Oakwood Tot Lot - Finally has been backfi7led and the new apparatus <br />will be installed next week. <br />2. La�ert Tot Lot - The obstacle course is beginning to take shape as <br />there will be a total of seven pieces once the area is coiryleted. <br />3. Edgewood Park/SChool - A trail system is under construction as well <br />as the infield for the baseball field. <br />I have also enclosed a copy of the Youth Sports Guide for coaches and parents <br />that we will be distributing to each of our volunteer coaches as a"required" <br />reading. SWff is in the process of forming a citizens task force to review <br />our youth athletic program and to establish guidelines and policies for its <br />future directions. <br />The Charter Commission will be meeting on Thursday to fSnalize the enclosed <br />draft for possible City wide adoptTon in November. Staff wt11 only be ailuding <br />to the document on a small scale and I would recommend that any concerns be <br />directed to the Commission itself. <br />If you have any questions or woutd like additional staff clariflcatiar., feel <br />free to conWct me dlrectly at 784-3055 extension 41. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bruce K.
