a. McGillivray reported the Northwest Regional Conference

it appeared there was not real good representation from
states surrounding Washington. It is ~elt that
Washington would like to drop its regional status and
just operate as the State o~ Washington. This may be
discussed at the Regional Council meeting. The next
regional ,oon~ere~'~ce is currently scheduled two years
trom now in Hot Springs, British Columbia.
b. Little League started today and crews have been working
to get the fi~ ~,~l ~il~:~ ~'~!~ady. About 500 children are

6. OLD.~ BUSINESS:
a. Su~er Hire. The summer crews have been hired.
Interest this year was high as McGillivray had to send
out over 30 decline letters. Four crews have been
hired to work in the ball field, with the summer rec
program, to repair and maintain park equipment, and
for beautification. He ~eels the crews he picked should
work we!l together.
b. Playground equipment. The Council agreed to the
Commission' s recommendation regarding playground
equipment. The ~spec's are now being put together so bid
packets can be established. Hopefully the bid process
will go well and the equipment can be purchased and
placed wi th summer.
c. The budget process is over and basically nothing more
was deleted and nothing was added. The City is
purchasing a used boom truck to assist in putting up
lights and decorations. Money saved from previously
contracting that service out may be used to fix the
transformers. The 'budget should be finalized June 2.
a. Gillord inquired about the top soil Eot the Lawton area

him on it. McGillivray does not know if top soil will
be available this year nor how much, if any, could he

stays at the Municipal Park. She was informed fees are
not going to be collected but that it will be a "tent
camping only" area with stay limitations and a seasonal
ranger is in the process of being hired by the Police
Department to insure compliance.
