TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Barbara Sampson
SUBJECT: November 4 Agenda
DATE. October 31, 1974
First, please remember to bring your notebooks with the Park Action Plan so we
may review specifics for the possible Bond Issue. It will be necessary for the
Commission to suggest ~ "package" which will be presented to Council along with
the recommendation to hold a Bond Issue Election.
Not much new information on other Subdivision Ordinances has been received, so
• we will develop a suggested revision from the material we have at present. If
the Commission wishes to pursue the idea of a re-sale fee, this will not be part
of the Subdivision Ordinance, but a separate recommendation made to Council which
will require ordinance, public hearings, etc..
Please see the separate memo and other material enclosed regarding the Boething
Treeland Nursery Co. and their request for a tree farm. I would like a recommen-
dation from Commission on this subject.
Brookglen Park is progressing despite the rain; the lawn has been seeded and they
are preparing to install the play structure.
I will take reservations for the C.P.R.S. November Social. Since I plan to attend,
I will forward any reservations with mine.
