Commissioner Bird next referred to the complaints received <br />about campers at Ambersand Beach Park, and the possibility of <br />selling that park property which is narrow and surrounded by <br />residential property. He noted that discussion was had as to <br />whether it is advisable to continue to operate this park, and it <br />was felt we need to explore our options. <br />Commissioner Bowman pointed out that Ambersand Beach Park <br />goes all the way to the river, and she felt it should be kept <br />open and available to the public. <br />Commissioner Bird next addressed the need for lights for <br />the J. A. Thompson Little League ballfield at Rosewood School. <br />He explained that it was found the candle power was way below <br />standard, and they had to shut down playing at night. The Little <br />League approached Parks & Recreation with an emergencyirequest to <br />fund some monies towards replacement of the lights to bring the <br />field back up.to a safe playable condition. Apparently they have <br />gone out in the community to raise the money. The Committee has <br />recommended contributing $3,000 towards the $9,000 cost. <br />ON MOTION BY Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved <br />the $3,000 contribution toward replacing the lights <br />at J. A. Thompson Little League ballfield as recom- <br />mended by the Parks & Recreation Committee. <br />Commissioner Bird next discussed the attendance problem and <br />the recommendation of having alternates with voting powers for <br />each Committee member. <br />Commissioner Eggert noted that we didn't do this for the <br />Planning E Zoning Commission. <br />Commissioner Wheeler noted that unless the alternates <br />attended regularly, they would be coming in uninformed. He <br />personally felt the answer would be to have stricter attendance <br />requirements. <br />111 <br />APT 1907 BOOK '8 f ,-F Ill <br />
