c) Keiver's Lake
There was considerable discussion on the upgrading project for
the park regarding the development that should be undertaken
this year It was felt that a baseball diamond and bleachers i
shower -wash house and a dump station should be the mayor
priorities and that approximate prices for installation of these
facilities be obtained for further discussion It was also noted
that areas of the park that will be most vulnerable to damage
from use before the grass becomes established may temporarily
need to be fenced off from use Some of the roadway and parking
areas in the park are ready for gravelling and it was suggested
that screenings could be used to underlay the crushed gravel
Prices for a 60 inch front mount mower were reviewed and after a discussion '
of the various units, Otto Hoff moved that we purchase a J D 935 mower from
Guard Implements Trochu for $11,793 and that we also purchase a hitch for i
$10 00 for the above unit
