MR. LUNDY INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE CIVIC LEAGUE IS VERY <br />DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE IN SPITE OF NEGOTIATIONS WITH E.O.C. FOR ADDI- <br />TIONAL PLAY EQUIPMENT AND THE GROUNDS BEING IMPROVED SOMEWHAT BY THE <br />NEW PARK PROGRAM, THEY FEEL THE PARK IS DETERIORATING AND HAS BEEN <br />NEGLECTED IN SOME AREAS, I.E., WATER, COMPLETION OF THE TENNIS COURTS, <br />LACK OF RESTROOMS. HE CONTINUED THAT THE CIVIC LEAGUE HAS INVESTED <br />$2,000 OF THEIR OWN MONEY IN THE PARK, PLUS ANOTHER $7,000 THEY WERE <br />ABLE TO OBTAIN, AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE COUNTY ASSUME THE <br />RESPONSIBILITY OF MAINTAINING THE PARK ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS SO IT <br />WILL NOT CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE. MR. LUNDY STATED THAT THE BOARD HAS <br />ACCOMPLISHED MUCH IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS - GIFFORD DOES HAVE WATER, <br />A HOUSING PROGRAM HAS BEEN STARTED AND A RECREATION PROGRAM, AND <br />HE ASKED THAT THE BOARD MEMBERS, BOTH OUT -GOING AND THOSE REMAINING, <br />GO ON RECORD MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO CARRY ON THIS WORK AND IMPLE- <br />MENT THE PROGRAMS. <br />MR. LUNDY INFORMED THE BOARD THAT BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL <br />PROBLEMS, THE GIFFORD CIVIC LEAGUE NO LONGER CAN ASSUME THE RESPONSI- <br />BILITY OF SUPPLYING WATER TO THE PARK; S0, PEOPLE HAVE NO WATER WHEN <br />THEY ARE PICNICKING AND NO RESTROOMS. HE REITERATED THAT THE BOARD <br />SHOULD ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PARK AND BELIEVED IN TIME <br />THEY WOULD SEE FIT TO MAKE CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS AND FILL THE NEEDS, <br />MR. LUNDY REALIZED THE BUDGET HAS BEEN COMPLETED FOR THIS YEAR AND <br />THERE IS NO WAY THE BOARD CAN COME UP WITH THE $15,000 ESTIMATED TO DO <br />ALL THE THINGS NEEDED, BUT HE REQUESTED THAT THE FENCING OF THE TENNIS <br />COURT BE GIVEN PRIORITY AND COMPLETED. <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR REGAN°S REPORT ON THE PARK <br />AND RECOMMENDATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS: <br />OCT 2 21980 39 BOOK 45 PAGE -3 - <br />AGE_3- <br />
