Council that the Park Board accept the new proposed ordinance ex~cept for deleting the
reference to the County Parks. Two (2) ayes and four (4) nayes, motion denied.
Farrell mentioned that a resident requested, bi~tthe Park Board would install a snow
fence barrier to prevent snow blowing during the winter into the alley and garages.
The park is an open area and the winds will naturally blow the snow when the winds
are from the west. The resident said that if we supplied the snow fence and post,
that they would install it themselves. This request will be taken care of when the
time is available.
