and Mr. Schrantz stated that we would request a permit from the City Council.
The Secretary for the Commission was asked to get information from some of
the surrounding cities before the next meeting. Kinkade stated that he felt
that if we were going to allow the fields to be used for tournaments that
the Commission should get the fees at least one to two weeks in advance.

Commlssion to schedule all games when they call the office rather than to have
to wait for the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously.

have a satellite at the boat landing. Kinkade asked what the charge would be
for that and LeFebvre stated that it depended on how long it would be at the
site. The City Engineer stated that there was about $1200 in the budget for
rental. Prochniak stated that he was afraid that it could be destroyed.

a satellite for Crooked Lake Boat Landing from June through September or

until it would be necessary to cancel. Motion carried unanimously.

use it for parking in order to keep so many cars away from City Hall.

can't drive in any further. Prochniak asked if we needed gravel and Mr.

the fact. Mr. Schrantz stated that all that information is in the budget. Kinkade
asked Mr. Schrantz what the plan was for the remaining monies $12.400 for soendinq.
