Hearing no objection,
DIRECTOR' S REPORT'
the minutes stood approved.
The City Manager asked to have in writing the No. 1 Goal
pertaining to CIP monies which was establishing the tent
camping area. McGil 1 ivray received information from
Petersburg on the costs of their program and it was estimated
$150,000 would be needed for a building with restrooms,
pavilion with picnic tables, and platforms for tents. This
information was passed on to the City Council but they felt it
wasn't a high enough priority item for the legislature to be
considered. A new animal shelter and water systems were
selected.
The LWCF application for restrooms at various City parks was
completed and turned in for approval. McGillivray did not
know the time frame for advising approval, but did state it
would be for 1995 monies.
The Council will be meeting with the Commissions in February
to discuss all their goals and objectives.
The basketball league is hal~way through their season and 12
teams are participating. There has been some discussion of
the lower teams desiring to break off and form a new league,
however, no official request has been made.

Daubenspeck property. He noted they are currently receiving
$1,600 to $1,700 per month as opposed to $2,400 to $2,500 in
some years past. He did not know i~ this was related to oil

Gilford presented her ideas for the new playground
equipment at Old Town. Since the City has a credit with
Big Toy, she chose to use up that credit and recommended
a unit with a double plastic slide, a slide tube, and a
curly climber. Along with this, she advised a tire

over $6,000 without the freight charge. McGillivray will
