He added that recommendation has not <br />been incorporated in the plan. <br />Dave Long, of the Park and Rec Commission and task <br />force, explained discussions to date have been <br />against having lights. <br />Debbie Jones, no address given, stated it would <br />violate the concept for the park to have lights, <br />as they would infringe on other areas. <br />Councilmember Quick questioned if the residents were <br />against all lighting, even security lighting. <br />Mr. Linke stated he lives near Greenfield Park, <br />. and security lighting has helped that area since it <br />was put in. <br />Dave Latko, no address given, stated he felt there <br />should be security lights, and they would be helpful <br />to protect the investment. <br />Dave Radermacher, of the task force, reviewed the <br />discussion the task force had had on the lighting <br />issue. <br />Mayor Hankner explained the police department favors <br />lights, which enable officers to see into the parks <br />as they drive by. <br />Frank Thomas, of Lake Court Drive, questioned <br />whether a survey had been done of handicapped <br />people or how many people would use a blacktopped <br />surface. He stated he felt it would be appropriate <br />to do so. <br />Mr. Fagerstrom replied a survey had not been done. <br />Mr. Radermacher made suggested changes to page 67 <br />of the full report, to have it more accurately <br />reflect the discussions he felt took place. <br />• <br />
