-2- <br /> 3 . OUTSIDE PICNIC AND SWIMMING BEACH AREA <br /> Due to the low water level of Spring Lake , we have lost much of <br /> our sandy swimming area. I would like to raise the lake several <br /> inches to correct this . Sand has to be moved from the lower <br /> beach closer to the wall and sidewalk. Signs have been <br /> purchased stating our hours of operation and will be placed by <br /> the two sidewalks leading to the swimming area and out by the <br /> softball field entrance . Beach closed signs will be placed by <br /> beach fo days of severe weather/lightening . These signs will <br /> inform the public when lifeguards are on or off duty . Trash can <br /> lids will help maintenance people by keeping rain water out of <br /> already hard to lift trash cans and will help control the bee <br /> population . There will be three swings replaced this year ( two <br /> adult and one tot ) along with chain and S-hooks , two new picnic <br /> tables , and two grills have been added to the east picnic area . <br /> Hopefully, more can be purchased over the next few years . A new <br /> drinking fountain is needed, the only question is whether it will <br /> last the summer. Old useless water pipes will be removed limiting <br /> the possibility of injury. Improvements should be made to the <br /> tennis court fence and the addition of two horseshoe pits is being <br /> 410 <br /> considered . Another consideration is what to do with the tennis <br /> court . Whether to patch the existing cracks or a complete <br /> resurfacing job, or turn it into a sandlot volleyball court? I <br /> request discussion from the two cities regarding this issue . <br /> I am looking forward to meeting with you April 21 at Lakeside Beach <br /> and discussing 1988 beach improvements . Even though our hands are <br /> full in preparing Lakeside Beach for the swimming season, I 'm <br /> anticipating a great summer with a safe and healthy environment in <br /> which to swim. <br /> KL/SL <br /> S <br />
