MSP (Baumgartner - Rowley) to approve the Softball Tournament Policy dated 5/3/78
with the exception that Item 3 not be in the policy, Item 3 being a 3.2 beer
concession permit.
Mayor Pickar stated that he had voted against the motion as he felt as long as
the policy was on a trial basis that it should be approved.
Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he voted against the motion as there would be
beer at the tournaments and that by allowing a 3.2 beer concession, there would at
least be some control over it. He added that 3.2 beer would control the rate of
intoxification. He added that it was the consensus of the Park and Recreation
Commission that it was a legitimate reason for trying the policy on a trial basis.
Councilmember Baumgartner asked what the criteria would be for pulling the policy
out. Park Director Anderson replied that he would be considering the response
from the Police Department, from the people involved and the condition of the field
after the tournament.

Park Director Anderson reported that the issue of the bicentennial planter was brought
up at the March Park Commission meeting and that Staff has examined the site and come
up with a proposal for a more permanent replanting. He stated that he would like to
spell out the letters "MV" and would recommend that the existing spreading junriipers
be replanted by the sign in front of City Hall. He also added that he would like to
see a civic organization take responsibility for the upkeep of the plants but that
Staff would assume that responsibility if a civic organization was not found. Park
Director Anderson added that CETA employees have been applied for who could care for
it
