Mr. Fagerstrom reviewed the report of the task force and their recommendations. Mayor Hankner clarified that no action would be taken by the Council this evening, and this was a public hearing to receive input from the residents. A question was raised concerning blacktopping of the pathways. Wayne Burmeister, of the Park and • Rec Commission, explained the thought process that was used by the Park and Rec Commission. Pam Starr, also of the Park and Rec Commission, further explained. the rationale for blacktop, in making the pathways handicapped accessible. Millie Ash, of Lake Court Drive, stated there was a problem .with all-terrain vehicles using the pathways, and blacktopping would increase that.

Dave Long, of the Park and Rec Commission and task force, explained discussions to date have been against having lights. Debbie Jones, no address given, stated it would violate the concept for the park to have lights, as they would infringe on other areas.

Mr. Linke stated he lives near Greenfield Park, . and security lighting has helped that area since it was put in. Dave Latko, no address given, stated he felt there should be security lights, and they would be helpful to protect the investment.

Mayor Hankner explained the police department favors lights, which enable officers to see into the parks as they drive by. Frank Thomas, of Lake Court Drive, questioned whether a survey had been done of handicapped people or how many people would use a blacktopped surface. He stated he felt it would be appropriate to do so. Mr. Fagerstrom replied a survey had not been done.
