The minutes of the previous meeting werenead and approved.
The Council referred to the previous meetings' minutes for
the proposal by Harold Loveland and Tom Infanger to sell a parcel
of property in Peterson Park Subdivision for a park. The engineer
suggested that if the City were interested in acquiring such
property for a park that they ascertain if the area of 530 feet by
410 feet, or approximately 5.1, would be available and thus
eliminate the cost of improving one street. That if such area
could be obtained for the cost of $10,650.00 as suggested, that
it perhaps would be feasible for park purposes. After some dis-
cussion, the' Council determined to table the matter until further
information and a further proposal was made by the owners thereof.
Councilman Turnbow stated that he had investigated with
several sur~ounding cities concerning the operation of their
municipal swimming ppols. He reported that he found that all had
operated in the red for each of the years in operation.
A discussion was had concerning the painting and maintenance
of the swimming pool and the Council decided and determined to have
the pool painted with an epoxy paint and the committee on the
swimming pool was so instructed.
The Council held a discussion concerning the rates for the use
of the swimming pool and determined that the fees charged in the
past would remain the same and should not be raised. The previous
years' rates were 259 - 359 - and 509 with family season tickets
to be sold at $30.00 per family.
The Mayor directed LaVerne Williams, Maintenance Supervisor,
to uncover the pool and drain it.
Councilman Turnbow stated that he had received an offer to sell
by Fr~d0, Kvarfordt and Wayne Peterson of a well in their subdivision
which they desired to sell to the City for $12,500.00 with interest
~ 3/4 percent and which would be offered for sale to the City on
the use and option basis over a ten year period. No action was
