f ". Park & Recreation Commission I f Minutes of January 27, 1999 -6 Page 2 pertaining to mercury. A meeting will be held to determine what regulatory agencies the City will need to deal with on this matter. He said that ideally we would like to remediate the site this fall, let it sit, and then renovate the park in " the Spring of 2000. Reports of the park closure have appeared on tel"evision, radio and in the newspapers but not many phone calls have been received at the department. The commitment still exists to renovate the park. Superintendent Hover requested e-mail addresses and updated fax numbers for all the Commissioners. The next meeting about Stulsaft will be held on January 28 at 2:00pm. Commissioner Joseph asked about the testing of the soil and Superintendent Hover stated the testing began in July, and now because of the preliminary results, certain areas have been closed off as a preventative measure. She asked if there is a requirement to test the area or children on a regular basis because it was previously a mine; Superintendent Hover said not that we are aware of. Commissioner Slusser felt that fact that the metals in are the ore state versus a refined state is lucky for us. He applauded the actions that staff has taken to date. Superintendent Hover confirmed that he requested the testing and that the results were reported to the City Attorney's Office. Commissioner Joseph asked about the clean up costs and what would happen to the Stulsaft Day Camp. Superintendent Hover noted that Superintendent Corinne Centeno is working on relocating the day camp to another site; remediation costs will be worked out later on. Commissioner Davis felt that any proactive education would be good for the community.
