The Harrison family was invited by Kayo McGillivrary to be heard by the commission. The issue of a possible competition between the Recreation Center and the Kenai Fitness Center was discussed at length. The Harrisons were concerned with the prices the City would charge once the equipment was ordered and placed into use for the public. No prices as yet have been set by the City and the equipment is not in use at this time. Directors Report Kayo reported on the progress of the ball fields. The old fencing is in the process of coming down and the grass is doing well. Kayo reported receiving another quote on the drapes for the Teen Center. The Kenai Kustom Drapes bid was the higher bid so the commission voted to take the lower bid from Alaska Designers. The approximate time involved before complete installation is five weeks. The hot tubs are in, and bids are being taken for installation of both hot tubs and saunas. There is presently one bid from Alaska Framing Company for the saunas. Kayo presented a list of items to be included in the Revenue Sharing. They are as follows: On 10/28/81 a bid was received on the 1 -ton pickup with a dump box.
