ITEM I: JULY 1ST SPORTS CARNIVAL (For Information Only)

The Parks and Recreation Committee would like Council to be
aware of the monies that are being spent on the July lst Sports
Carnival. Public Works - $806.00; Rental of Recreation Centre -
$540.00; Centennial Pool, Staff Wages - $57.00 for a total of
$1,397.00. The above costs are similar to last year's costs.

ITEM II: NAMING OF THE LACROSSE BOX

Presently the new lacrosse box on the George Pearkes School
site has no name. The Parks and Recreation Committee recommends
that it be named the "Ulster Street Lacrosse Box".

‘ITEM III: ROLLER SKATES

Roller skating during the spring months has not been well
attended and this situation has existed for the last three years.
As seen by the attached information, the revenue made was considerably
less than the money spent on wages. Another factor to take into
consideration is that the cost of maintenance for repairing the
roller skates is high. Due to the expensive nature of roller skating,
the Parks and Recreation Committee would like to make the following
recommendations to Council:

°

1. That public roller skating be discontinued.

2. That the roller skates he put up for public sale.
