He also felt this was the <br />first year there has been problems with go carts. <br />Mr. Hatch would favor maintaining it as park space if <br />the City would maintain it, but if it is not to be <br />maintained, fenced and motorized vehicles kept out, <br />the City should vacate. Mr. Ryan would then have the <br />authority to maintain, fence and police the area as <br />a private property owner. <br />Hannah questioned if there was a problem with fencing <br />it in and posting signs prohibiting motorized vehicles. <br />Mabusth stated she had talked it over with the City <br />Administrator and he felt it could be a possibility. <br />She concurred with the suggestion of referring this <br />item to the Park Commission for study of the various <br />alternatives. <br />Mr. Ryan stated he had no problems with the area being <br />fenced and retained as park if the City would maintain <br />it. Wilson expressed some concern for the safety factor <br />of this area. Mr. Ryan stated several children had been <br />almost hit by cars. <br />ATTENDANCE <br />7:30 P.M. <br />FRED RYAN <br />1345 No. Arm Dr. <br />VACATION <br />Public Hearing <br />7:30 - 7:40 P.M. <br />(#544) <br />4 <br />i'A <br />MM <br />.1' !■ H.'. • <br />■i
