then get a formal bid for electrical work to be done. At the present
time we have six poles, and the arms. The rectangular luminaires
with metal Halite bulbs, would be most efficient, and direct more of
the light downward to the area that is to be lighted. Cost of the spot
type, two per pole - $200 per head. If the yokes need to be pruchased,
they are $60.00 each. Murzyn thought there were some yokes previously

the lighting system at the Columbia Junior High School Hockey Field.

DISCUSSIONS
SULLIVAN LAKE! PARK
Concerning LAWCON Grant funding for Sullivan Lake Park, Bocwinski recommended
the Park Board to inform City Manager to recommend to the Mayor and City
Council that necessary papers and resolutions be sent in. Also, it should
be included that $104,000 be for the building. Discussion followed as
to using some of the land as lots for homes. There are 7½ acres on one
end of the area, of which 4 acres aFe designated for passive park area.
Between Midland and 51st Avenue rests 237 feet of passive recreation area.
Of this space, what amount will be lot development sites for HRA and what
will be development area for the Park Department? Bocwinski explained in
the following manner: On the descriptions, separate parcel 9oes all the
way to Washington. Abtorney says that property can be sold off. One of
the homes is to be moved from the Downtown Development. Bocwinski explained
the various ways the land could be subdivided for lots. It would be his
recommendation that 97 feet not used in negotiations revert to park
property and be used with the rest of the park area.
REQUEST TO MAYOR NAWROCKI FOR ARCHERY RANGE
A memo is to be sent to Mayor Nawrocki, with a copy to City Manager
Bocwinski, explaining we really do not have any 9ood backdrop for this
