ITEM NO. 1 — Parks Reserve Work

The Committee has discussed three items of work that need to be
done in our local parks and that the monies required to do the

work be taken from the Parks Reserve Fund.

RECOMMENDATION

That monies be allocated for the following item:
1. Automatic Sprinklers - City Halli Park and Lions Park - $9,000.00
It is felt that by installing automatic sprinklers, that labour costs

will be reduced.

2. Backstops — McLean and Cedar Drive Parks — $5,000.00

There have been problems at both these parks with baseballs going
into peoples yards and it is hoped that by fixing the backstop at
Cedar Drive Park and the S.W. diamond at McLean, that this problem
will be alleviated.

3. Fence south of McLean Park -— $8,000.00

During the soccer season, the balls have been kicked into back yards,
often times destroying plants etc. It is intended to erect a fence
along the full length of McLean Park at the south end to solve this

problem.
