were approved as written.
1I DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
*Municipal Pool officially opened for the season on April 28th with "Sunsplash" an event
planned by Kerry Gallagher, Special Events/Cultural Arts Coordinator. The major leaks that the
pool has had over the years that were patched in the past, have been taken care of after a
complete two week shut down and a joint effort of Public Works, Parks, and outside contractor.
*Pool heater should become a reality with the upcoming budget 1994/1995 and we will
then have year round programs.
*Burns Road Community Center has a new roof and new air condition unit. Finishing
touches still being done. Internal damages from the water in the gym have been budgeted for in
the 1994/1995 budget. In the fall we will get estimates and arrange to have the internal projects
done.
III OLD BUSINESS:
*In -line hockey program is being held at Plant Drive Park with 150 participants and a
turn -away of about the same number as participating.
*Lake Catherine lighting has strong support of Y.A.A. and a large number of their
members intend to attend the city council meeting to show their interest in the project.
• *With the Master Plan the recreational fields will be done in phases to accommodate

activities. Meetings continue to be held supporting the complete Master Plan for a November
bond referendum.
*The Oaks Park Plan Design Meeting with the community is scheduled for June 28th.
IV NEW BUSINESS:
*All of our Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members terms expire 7 -7 -94. Those
interested in being reappointed should put in writing their desire to continue to serve on this
board. We then will request from council that we be allowed to reappoint all eligible board
members along with a special exception allowing Jeff Sabin to continue an additional year, due to
his involvement in the major issues before our board. It was suggested that Braxton Melvin be
called regarding his participation on this board, since he has been absent from the past four
consecutive meetings and has only attended four meetings of this board since September, 1993.
There will be a need to appoint a new member, due to Betsey Yerry, no longer being
eligible, after serving on this board since January, 1984.
V MEMBERS REPORTS:
*No member reports were given.
*It was agreed by all members present that there would be no meeting in July. The date of
the next meeting will be decided and announced at a later date.
Respectfully submitted,
Dee Schneider
Administrative Secretary
