Ed Trettel felt that lighting • <br /> at Silver View would interfere with the wildlife. <br /> Laurie Trettel expressed concerns that a larger <br /> amount of cans, debris, etc. would be left in the <br /> park. <br /> Councilmember Quick added that using the park <br /> properly, as it was planned should improve conditions <br /> at the park. <br /> David Rademacher stated that he felt the lights would <br /> not be natural and that if they were installed they <br /> should not be on after 10:00 p.m. and would be <br /> uneconomical. <br /> Councilmember Quick informed residents that adult <br /> softball was actually the biggest fund generator for <br /> the Recreation Department. He also asked the <br /> residents to consider organizing a Park Foundation by <br /> filing for a non-profit organization charter at a <br /> cost of $60.00. He added that the Groveland Park <br /> Foundation had purchased a sandlot volleyball court , <br /> landscaping of warming house, a play structure and <br /> tennis court through funds raised by that <br /> organization. <br /> • <br />
