Chairman Zimmerman called meeting to order_ Also present
were Gary Brenner, Verla Best, Bob Seudder.
Chairman Zimmerman introduced Gretchen M. Hubinger of
Bucher, Willis antl Ratliff. She is a planner in parks and
recreation. Also Dresent was Bob a engineer
experienced in park[ applications. The park board explained the
situation with the Renner Park and what had been done and what
expectations the park board had in the future.
A sketch of the park was given to Ms. Hubinger as well as
plans for a parking area. One of the first suggestions was not
to have the parking area located where the. board has planned it.
The planners said they would like to work up some different
designs for us to look at. The prices were discussed. Ms.
Hubinger charges $35.00 a hour and Mr. (the
engineer) charges $55.00. His time would not be involved unless
the city proceeded with actual construction drawing after
reviewing Ms. Hubinger's pr6o~hm~,sary plans. She thought it
would take her about a waek^ which would run about $2,500.00 for
2 sets of preliminary plans that could be presented to the city
council. The estimated price includes any copies and
photographs and maps. -S`hf a/SO SAi~ sfic Gvav/d /~/PJP/It cz /o/DpoJa/ urif/i /rer

It was decided to include the cities property located on
the southwest corner of Vivion and High Drive for possible
tennis courts, parking, in these plans.
The entire Park Board agreed wa need such professionals to
work up plans the Park Board and the City Council can review and
choose and that this would be money well spent. Chairman
Zimmerman said she"would contact MaYOr Betty Burch, Friday,
August 5, for permission to hire these people and that she would
proceed from there. I'Is. Hubinger was told the MaYOr may want to
bring the matter before the entire council before giving a final
approval to go ahead.
Gary Brenner brought up that he had bean told fireworks
damage had occured at the Homestead Road Park aroung the 4th of
July which was caused by "pin-wheel" type fireworks being nailed
to the rough cedar supports for the swing sets resulting in
quite a bit of burning to the post. He suggested the city
maintenance man may be able to sand the burned spots down and
restain the entire goat side with a slightly colored stain.
