6. OLD BUSINESS
No action.
7. NEW BUSINESS
a. Report on Adopt-A-Park Meeting. Director McGillivray
referred the commissioners to the copy of a hand-out from the
City of Anchorage. A meeting was held in Soldotna and a
program will be starting in Soldotna. Mr. Bill Musson did
attend. With the parks program already in place in Kenai, it
was felt, it would not be necessary to establish this type of
program at this time; however, if the status changed, it
would be something to look into. Generally, many volUnteers
and coordinators would be needed, willing to lend their time
and labor during the summer, for this type of project to work
and be successful.
b. Current Budget - 1988. Discussion was held and after
the last report to the commissioners, nothing has changed.
c. Budget - 1989. Director McGillivray explained he has
submitted a memorandum to the City Council for additional
funds in the parks department. The increase in the number of
softball tournaments, the early start of last year's
activities and, projects that needed to be finished and
planted caused additional weekend hours and labor time to be
accumulated. These are some of the main reasons for the
request.
8. COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS
Directory McGillivray explained a new brochure that he and
Mr. Musson have been drafting.
Commissioner Carlson mentioned the reception that will be
given by the city, in appreciation of the volunteers and
commission members. Date, time and location was given.
Director McGillivray asked the commissioners to mark their
calendars for June llth, which is the dedication of the
Memorial Park and June 25th is the date set for the ARCO
Jesse Owens Games.
