(#2) PRESENTATION BY ANTUINE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIUN (HOWELLS) There was no representation from the neighborhood at the Park Commissian meeting. McMillan suggested a sub-cammittee be set up to contact the group and determine the needs of the park. With the time allotment for park improvements, McMillan felt plans should be initiated immediately if anything is to be done this year. She reminded the Commission that the group had identified certain safety concerns and had asked that the sheds be removed. The Commission had noted on several park tours that this should be done. Flint will write a letter to be sent to the people who signed the petition asking for park improvements at Antoine. The letter will ask for them to notify the Commission when they a.re ready to discuss park improvements and place the item on an upcoming agenda. The letter wiii indicate that park improvements can best be carried out when the neighborhood works closely with the Park Commission. In the meantime, Gerhardson was asked to see whether the sheds could be removed and the equipment checked to assure its compliance with safety standards. 1
