O.A.P.O

That the O.A.P.O. be invited to the next meeting
at 3: 45 p.m. in the Council Chambers . That
meeting will take place June 19th, 1986.
McLean Park
Janna went over variou- concerns at McLean Park .
The first concern had to do with design
for the McLean Park change facilities. Adrawings
consultant has been retained to draw up the design
drawings for the new facilities and his name is

Bill Geiss.

Another point that was brought up about McLean
Park was in regard to the grass area, i.e. the
small soccer field, and it was pointed out that a
decision was made not to turf
the area for a
couple of reasons; one reason being
that, at
present, there is no irrigation system
and the
turf would not have grown. The other reason
is
that by having the turf. in that particular part
of

the park, seeding on the other side

of the fence
would create an uneven surface for the
soccer

field. It was pointed out that the irrigation
could not go in this week due
to the fact
it
was held up at the U.S.A. border; however, that
it
is
intended that the irrigation
go in next week.
There is a strong possibility will
that
season for the small field will havetheto soccer
be
by approxi..iately four weeks. This decision delayed
will
be made

at a later date.
The other area that was brought to the attention
of the Committee was the installation of the
playground equipment. Concerns have been
ed by various people in regard to softballsexpressinto the playground area. It was pointed outgoing
that
this situation
will be rectified with the erection
of netting over the playground equipment. It is
felt that this will solve the problem.
Recommendation:

That the report be received.
