DIRECMR'S REPORT<br />
Internship Program - Fred discussed the possibility <strong>of</strong> having<br />

lege credits which the University requires for graduation. Paul<br />

the Board take the necessary action to acquire him/her. Motion<br />

A tentative plan was presented for Board review and approval<br />
to expand our <strong>of</strong>fice space (map enclosed). Dui to the present<br />
conditions, our personel are interfering with each other's<br />
operation. Fred proposed to panel an <strong>of</strong>fice in the room where<br />
the maps and paper are now being stored. A 9 x 10 area is<br />
only required. The parks crew will panel and place the ceiling<br />
in. Gerry Lee would aid in the lighting. The remainder <strong>of</strong><br />
the room would continue to be used for storage. The monies<br />
would come from the $500.00 budgeted for partitions. A<br />
motion was made by Paul Ussel to approve the plans to build<br />
an addition to the present <strong>of</strong>fice area, per previous plans,<br />
The motion was seconded by M. Weed and carried.<br />
Heavy duty trailers prices were reviewed by the Board. It was<br />
discussed whether to go with a 12' ft. deck or a 14' ft. deck.<br />
To meet the needs <strong>of</strong> the parks, the Board chose the 14' ft.<br />
deck and instructed Fred to purchase one for $2886.00 as<br />
budgeted in the Capital Budget.<br />
With the purchase <strong>of</strong> a 1979 CJ-7 Jeep, the Board will place<br />
an article in the paper requesting bids for the old 1967<br />

Secretary, Parks & Recreation Board
PARR REPORT 3112179<br />
Top priorities the past weeks have been getting the summer<br />
equipment in working order. Our Jacobsen has 'been com-<br />
pleted and our attention now is on the Toro and Simplicity.<br />
Other equipment in good working condition includes two<br />
push mowers, a Smithco weed sprayer, and ball diamond<br />
liner. Items which will need to be looked at in the<br />
following weeks are the weed trimmer (Green Machine)<br />
and the Toro Sand Pro. All vehicles have been kept in<br />
order. The only problem which we are having now is with<br />
the pump on the power take-<strong>of</strong>f unit on the GMC.<br />
Matt Bennett has been a welcome addition to the crew.<br />
He began with our department on the 5th <strong>of</strong> March and I<br />
am satisfied with his contributions thus far.<br />
All recreation centers and parks have been continually<br />
maintained and repairs made, where and when needed.<br />
My only real concern has been the lack <strong>of</strong> space in our<br />
shop. Since we have moved the lawn mowing equipment inside,<br />
and with the purchase <strong>of</strong> a new vehicle, things are crowded<br />
in the garage working area.<br />
