Now, <br />however, the property owners association has requested that <br />it be handled in a formal lease agreement. <br />Virginia Brewer, Secretary of the Rockridge Property <br />Owners Association, questioned Item 5 in the proposed lease <br />agreement in regard to the association returning a riding <br />lawn mower to the Parks Department. She suggested that <br />perhaps they could purchase the mower from the County. <br />Community Services Director Thomas believed that the,, <br />County needs the lawn mower and, secondly, there is some <br />liability involved. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked if it might not be better to <br />have the Road & Bridge. Dept. come out and mow the grass on <br />the property, but Commissioner Bird felt we should not get <br />into that situation. <br />21 <br />FEB 1 1984 soon 56 2i <br />
