SOCCER PROGRAM IN SPRING 1982
Recreation and Community Education Director Hansen informed the group
that the Recreation Soccer Program will be conducted in the Spring of
1982 beginning in mid-April and running until the first part of June.
Practices will be held at Huset, McKenna, Mathaire and Ostrander parks
with games being played at Huset #3. Discussion was then held concerning
the potential usage conflicts between the soccer program and spring
softball activities. Hansen and Park Superintendent Rejzer will work
out a compatible schedule for both activities.
SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT POLICY
Park Board Chairman Hollom explained to the group the Park Board Policy
for Softball Tournaments. Discussion was held on the determination of
tournaments benefiting community groups versus individual teams or
sponsors. Hollom indicated that the 1981 Policy was reviewed and
revisions were made for the 1982 Policy to better handle this particular
situation and that at the end of this year's softball season, the 1982
Policy will be reviewed and if need be, revised for 1983.
BEER POLICY IN HUSET PARK
Discussion was held on the current policy of allowing beer in Huset
Park and the concern of viewing wide spread alcohol abuse in the park,
particularly at Men's Softball League Games. Recreation and Community
Education Director Hansen proposed to the group that alcoholic beverages
be prohibited entirely in the park Monday through Thursday, but allowed
Friday through Sunday and on legal holidays. Park Superintendent Rejzer
added that due to company picnics and other group gatherings that sometime
occur during the week in the park, a special permit clause should be
added as is the policy for the rest of the park system. After lengthy
discussion on the matter, an agreement was made that each board will
make a recommendation at their respective upcoming meetings, that the
City Council make the before mentioned changes in the City Code concerning
usage of alcoholic beverages in Huset Park.
