The restroom area in the vicinity of the caboose was mentioned, along with the removal of the caboose from the park area. The procedure for removing,;:.-~'municipal property was briefly discussed and Mr. Weeks mentioned the caboose would simply be declared surplus to current needs. It then might be disassembled or someone might buy it. It was also reported that the caboose has been used abusively. As it was not designed as a piece of play apparatus, it was also considered somewhat dangerous. The staff reported that the caboose is presenting many problems related to maintenance, obscene graffiti, interior fires, and inability to give surveillance to activities taking place inside. It has become a "hand out" for older pre-teens. In light of the need for space for play area expansion and restroom facilities, it is felt the caboose should be declared surplus to current needs and removed from the park. MOTION: Commissioner Pound moved to accept the monthly reports as written, seconded by Commissioner Wilson. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote. OTHER REPORTS Caboose MOTION: Commissioner Schlesinger moved that in light of the need for expansion of the play area and the phase construction of the Red Morton Community Park, as well as the need for restroom facilities, and that the caboose is creating maintenance and operational problems, that it be recommended to the City Council that the caboose be declared surplus to the park needs and be disposed of, seconded by Commissioner Weintraub.
