NEW BUSINESS ADOPT A PARK Salsbury stated that the City Manager had requested him to approach the Board on "Adopt a Park' program. The City Manager had felt the Board had expressed some interest in the past. Several cities have adopted this program whereby residents take a special interest in the park and oversee it's planting of trees, grass, installing of playground equipment, policing and etc. The Board had qoestions as to who is going to organize it - what work is it going to create and for whom - we n~ed more details before the Park Board can make a decision on whether we want to start such a program. Therefore, the Board ta61ed the request.

HOURS OF BOAT LANDING Satsbury stated that the Police Department is asking if we wanted the 9ate open at the Boat Landin9 durin9 the winter months, The reason it is open is that people are ice fishin9 and use that area to park in.
