MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Jabbour informed the Council that the DNR will receive the bids to remove the service station building and soil on Maxwell Bay by September 1 and give authorization for removal on September 7. Callahan asked Moorse to clarify the information provided concerning the use of Bederwood Park by the OBA. Kelley said he had initiated the request for clarification on whether the appro^ of two nights per week usage excluded the use on Saturday or Sunday The OBA would like to use the park on the weekend. Callahan said the permission would be limited to the times specifically indicated as the City was asked for permission when no permission had been previously granted, Kelley said the OBA originally used the park 4 nights per week and Saturdays so assumed that the two nights would include the Saturday. Moorse said he saw the agreeti-..,n< ‘miling the usage to the two evenings per week. Kelley rt*/ ed to an OBA memo dated 4/6/90 from Gerhardson to Mark Bemhardson Gerhardson was asked if Saturday usage was ever approved Gerhardson said it was after that time Item #8 referred to a 3-year committment for annual review Gerhardson said that was in effect for that time Moorse said it was an interim measure. At the end of the time period, the new fields w ere available for use, and the use was then limited. Jabbour said this usage by OBA was approved in lieu of giving $20,000 and was considered a win-win situation The neighbors had expressed their unhappiness with the two night usage. Kelley said he did not agree with the neighbors and saw a need to review the issue to gain a straight answer on the amount of usage Kelley believed the concern of the neighbors is overstated adding the neighbors have more than ample opponunity to use the park. Jabbour said if Saturday usage was the desire of the OBA, they then acted in bad faith There are other functions around the area that need parking also Jabbour did not wish to see the park domin?*“d by a single use Kelley said the major use of the other facilities at the park is by siblings of those playing ball. He said he did not know the exact wishes of the OBA but wanted a clarification. ENGINEER REPORT The City Engineer was not present at the meeting. 12
