ASSISTANT PLANNER MARSH STATED THAT SEVERAL OF THE RECOM- MENDATIONS FROM THE NORTH COUNTY GROUP WERE USED BUT STAFF DID NOT AGREE WITH THE RELOCATION OF THE RESTROOM AND SHOWER FACILITY TO THE NORTH PORTION OF THE PARK; THEY FELT IT WOULD BE BEST IN A CENTRALIZED AREA, HE CONTINUED THAT THERE IS A PARKING PROBLEM, AND THEY HAVE TRIED TO PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING. MR. MARSH STATED THAT THE NORTH COUNTY GROUP INDICATED THEY WISHED TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT IN GRASS AND MARL, AND THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT CONCURRED, HE NOTED THAT THERE IS A 60/40 CHANCE OF RECEIVING A STATE GRANT FOR THESE IMPROVEMENTS, AND THE COUNTY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR $30,000 TO $35,000 IN MATCHING FUNDS. MR. MARSH COMMENTED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO FILE THE APPLICATION, HOLD THE EXISTING BUDGETED FUNDS UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE GRANT WAS APPROVED OR DENIED, AND WAIT UNTIL EARLY NEXT YEAR; THE FUNDS THAT ARE IN THE COUNTY BUDGET WOULD CONSTITUTE THEIR MATCHING FUNDS. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED REGARDING THE RESTROOMS BEING BUILT BY THE NORTH COUNTY GROUP, AND IT WAS DECIDED -IT WOULD BE BEST IF THE COUNTY DID THE PARK AND THE NORTH COUNTY GROUP COULD DO THE LANDSCAPING UNDER SUPERVISION. COMMISSIONER LYONS SUGGESTED THESE RECOMMENDATIONS SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED OR BE PLACED ON A BILLBOARD IN THE PARK WITH A NOTICE THAT THIS WAS THE COUNTY'S PROPOSAL, AND ASK FOR COMMENTS BY A CERTAIN DATE. HE ALSO SUGGESTED DISPLAYING THE -PROPOSED PLAN IN THE NEWSPAPER. CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE LIKED THE IDEA OF APPLYING FOR A GRANT AND WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THE PARTICIPATION OF THE NORTH COUNTY GROUP IN THE SODDING AND LANDSCAPING, AND IN THOSE AREAS THAT THE COUNTY WOULD NEED ADDITIONAL HELP, HE FELT WE SHOULD DISCUSS THIS WITH THE NORTH COUNTY OFFICIALS AND PREPARE THE INFORMATION FOR DISTRIBUTION. COMMISSIONER DEESON STATED THAT IT SHOULD BE NOTED ON THE - PLAN THAT WE WILL SECURE THE BATHROOM FACILITIES. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED REGARDING THE PARKING SITUATION. SEP 191979 37 1 FACE5
