191 c. Park & Linden, ' There was a report by Ralph Wallulis, 475 Redwood Avenue, RedwoœCity, who is the chairman of the Canada College group. The property-has been cleared off, and they have a model that has been accepted by the steer- ing committee ang by the Park Department showing shrubs and plants at the entrances, grass and sand, and the use of flowers or geraniums on the edges. They were going to use in the sandbox areas an outline of railroad ties and telephone poles with a play structure constructed in the middle with a slide going down. The platform, about 4 feet higQ, would simulate a ship at sea. It would have picnic area and benches on each~side. The cost was really very nominal from their point of view. The dimension of the park is 155x48x137x28x22x64. It is a little bit larger than when presented 3 months ago. They have started a bank account at Wells Fargo under the name "Canada Mîni Park Fund" and are looking for any funds that might be possible. There was a motion to endorse the concept and plans as presented and recommended that the plan be instituted immediately by the park and recreation staff by Dorothea Terrill. Seconded by Jim Knecht. Vote: . Unan1mous. d. Mîddlefield & Theatre Chairman Knecht had a meeting with Bill Paulson, Pasco Balzarini, Jack Swenson, and Jack Stuart, and the committee of the Canada College group under Mr. Swenson. They presented a model and it had some- basic changes from the original plan as shown in the area... It was fenced off and set up in such a way that there would be a sandbox designed and it would be contoured with a planter, area with flowers and benches around it which people could lunch and sit. There was some concern relative to the play tower and they have now found another place for that, but they are to build a new item for the center of the." play area. There was a motion entered by Mr.'Knecht that the commission accept this plan and give approval to'the concept and recommend to council that its approval be made immediately. This was seconded by Mr. Schenck. Unanimous vote. e . Other s Nothing at this moment. II. Model Airplane Fields Mr. Balzarini reported on the renovation of Zimmerman Field. It would be 4 months before it would be ready for use. They were going to seen it and prepare it. Expected it to be ready by middle of August. nThere was some discussion on the Condor Legion, but that the letter from Mr. Ullrich and City Attorney had felt that caution was due on the school property and it was inappropriate for the Condor Legion to use this property. ,--, - -- - ~-~.~~~--.n___.n- - -~._---- --_n_nn._._. ~-_..- ___n_. ---- -". .... - -- __n_..- ----~---_...~ . -- ..._.n.~ n
