Item No. 5 (continued) <br />Ronald L. Anderson, Chairman, Park and Recreation Commission, 2324 Roosevelt <br />Avenue, advised that 90% of those people at the public hearing were in favor <br />of the recommendations. He said that parks are made for children and he <br />would like to see more children in the parks. <br />Judy E. Buchan, Vice Chairman, Park and Recreation Commission, 1126 Allerton <br />Street, said that many people do not come to the parks because of the <br />problems caused by alcohol beverages and glass containers. She noted the <br />improvement at Mezes Park when alcoholic beverages were prohibited. <br />Jerry Mortensen, member, Park and Recreation Commission, 452 Barnegat Lane, <br />stated that he voted against the ordinance because in his opinion glass and <br />drinking were two separate issues, that beer and wine should be allowed at <br />picnics, and that banning glass containers would solve most of the problem. <br />Ed Nordness, member, Park and Recreation Commission, 206 Sheffield Lane, <br />stated that drinkers create a problem and alcohol, drugs and foul language <br />are less than conducive for families and children to use the parks. <br />Minnie Lencioni, 1442 Ebener, spoke in favor of banning alcohol in all <br />parks noting that the park near her home is much pleasanter since alcohol was <br />banned there. <br />Bruce Albin, 569 Compass Circle, stated he lives adjacent to a park and there <br />are no problems, that their association holds its annual picnic there and <br />everyone behaves. <br />Titles read.
