DELEGATIONS:

From Mr. Fred Sabatine, November 8th, 1976, writing as Manager of

Mr. Sabatine was present at the meeting in sup: ort of the request
made in his letter, and advised that the fence was a requirement for the
Inter City Softball League 'home' games. Mr. Sabatine also pointed out

from the Recreation Director; however, the City Engineer advised that
