There was some discussion of the overall direction of the park and the costs of new facilities. There were no recommendations from the commission other than an agreement to review the plans in the future. Bruce Feldman Mr. Feldman resides at 3898 Cherry Avenue, next to Sandy swimming beach. He and his neighbors, the Richard Nelsons, appeared before the commission to express their frustration and anger over abusive language, noise and property damage caused by certain teens who frequent Sandy beach. These interruptions often last late into the evening. Feldman said his yard is unusable because of the obnoxious activities occurring at Sandy beach. Vongries strongly urged that the beach be shut down. Erger suggested more police scrutiny of the beach area. After further discussion, Vongries moved that the dock at Sandy Beach be removed beginning next summer; closing the beach at 6:00 P.M.; increased police patrols. Motion was seconded by Kelley. Erger offered an amendment to keep the beach open until 7:00 P.M. The amendment, seconded by Kelley, was passed along with Vongries' motion.
