EAST FORK PARK REPORT: Joanie Zeeb went over the proposed
plans of East Fork Park that may he considered if the city
were to acquire the park from the Corp of Engineers.
joanie Zeeb. based on her calculations, said that if we got
a loan to complete the master plan that the park would make
enough money to pay the loan off within five years .
There was seine discussion of acquiring the land and slowly
implementing the plan, rather than trying to do it all at
once.
Paul Beaver suggested, if you want to pursue this / think.
the city needs to employ a Parks & Recreation Director .
Public Works, as is, cannot give all that would be required
for an acquisition such as this.
Joe Helmberger said that if the city did not go ahead and
commit to the park, the Corp may lease to someone else. The
Ccrp has a ruling that if anyone ever defaults on a. leased
pork that the land can never be leased again to anyone. If
that were to happen, we would never have a chance at it
again. I think we need to continue to pursue this.
Atter some discussion the board agreed that it would be best
to forward a letter of interest to the Corp of Engineers.
APPROVAL OF PARK BEST 1990 T-SHIRT DESIGN: Morris
Cartwright addressed the board and presented a proposed t-
shirt logo for Park Fest 1990. He stated that he did not

$22. 00 for initial set up. He suggested that they could be
sold easily for $10. 00 each.
joanie Zeeb motioned to approve the proposed t-shirt logo
for Park Fest 1990 to include the modifications . Karen Cain
seconded the motion. Motion carried with all in favor.
