BOOK Complaints have been received about campers at Ambersand Beach Park. The County Attorney will be asked to research this property to see if it can be sold, or if it has to remain as a park. When Golden Sands is developed, Jim Davis feels we will need a fulltime park ranger; it was suggested that a gate be installed at Ambersand and the ranger can open and close it each day. If the property remains a park, it was suggested that the County finish paving the parking area. Received a request for a bowling green..' Advised Mrs. Whittemore to approach the City since their facilities are more centrally located, and also advised her to write a letter to the Editor of the Press Journal to see how much interest is generated for this type of recreation. If no success is gained from the City, she will again contact the County Parks and Recreation Committee to see what can be done for this request. Little League requested assistance to purchase lights for the J. A. Thompson Little League ballfield. They have an emergency situation, and are unable to use the lights in their present state. The Commitf-ee voted to contribute $3,000 if that amount is available in the capital expense fund. The Committee requested the County Commission to approve asking for alternates for each Committee member as recently there has not been a quorum present.at the meetings. Commissioner Bird asked if the Commission had any problem with having an agreement with Coca Cola for five years. Chairman Scurlock asked if we couldn't get competitive bids. Commissioner Wheeler felt the sign with the advertisement for Coca Cola should be sufficient payment for five years. He didn't like to be tied to selling only to Coke products; he did not have a problem with selling Coke for five years but did not want a contract with them. Commissioner Bird noted we could present a counter offer. Discussion continued at length, and Administrator Balczun suggested this matter be tabled and we can solicit some other vendors. Commissioner Eggert referred back to the proposal to put a telephone at Kiwanis-Hobart ballfield. She wished to know if it will be locked and was assured that it would be. Discussion continued as to a telephone, the season the field is used, etc., and Commissioner Wheeler asked if it might not be cheaper to take the phone out between seasons and have it reinstalled. Commissioner Bird believed that North County Recreation feels the phone is a safety factor. :110 I
