City Administrator Benson <br /> arrived at 8 :20 P.M. <br /> Mayor Van Nest opened the public information meeting CASCO CIRCLE RINK <br /> at 7 : 10 P.M. Approximately fifteen Casco Circle <br /> residents were present. Mayor Van N�st informed the <br /> public that the skating rink would have a berm 12 inches <br /> high, no lighting, no parking, and no tree removal . The <br /> area would be left in its natural state and the riiik <br /> would be more convenient for the children of the area. <br /> The majority of persons present preferred not to have <br /> a rink in that area due to the fact that the City <br /> maintains a rink approximately one and three-quarters <br /> of a mile away on Casco Point Road. The residents also <br /> felt that a rink would disturb the natural state of the <br /> land and that it could generate more uses, such as <br /> motorized traffic or snowmobiles to the area. One <br /> resident, Mr . Jewett, was in favor of the rink, thought <br /> it was a good idea and wished more people were in favor <br /> of it. If the rink were low keyed, many people would <br /> not know its location. <br /> Mayor Van Nest closed the informational meeting at <br /> 7 : 52 P .M. <br /> Paurus moved, Butler seconded, to reconsider the <br /> original motion that approved a skating rink at the <br /> Casco Circle Park . Motion, Ayes (4) - Nays (0) . <br /> Paurus moved, Butler seconded, that the Park Commission <br /> take a total look at the Casco Circle Park and recommend <br /> uses of the land, not only for a skating rink, but other <br /> uses that would be advantageous to the benefit of every- <br /> body concerned with the natural state of the property. <br /> Motion, Ayes (4) - Nays (0 ) . <br /> Councilmember Paurus requested that the Chief of <br /> Police checkout the complaint of cars parking at <br /> the Casco Circle Fark. <br /> Chief of Police Mel Kilbo will be present at the CHIEF OF POLICE REPORT <br /> next Council meeting for his oral report on police <br /> activities. <br />
