Mro L, Ro Rudd, City Manager, am Mr. E. P. (Packy) Romans, City Park and Recreational
Director, appeared to present a sketch or a proposed plan for a City park which would be
located directly south ani adjacent ta the City water filter plant site, (between the
present filter plant and West Belleview Avenue.) on City-owned land, along with a
pr.l.vately owned parcel adjacent on tm east end of approximately three acreso
Mr. Rudd and Mr. Ranans, dur.tr:g the discussion and reporting, pointed out that the plan
included the entire area not now used by tm , Water Depirtment, as 'to'ell as the pr1 ra.tely
owned lands, but that, si.me tm prlvately owned land was held to be so valuable dollar-
wise, by the owners, it would be possible to adjust the plan to use only that land which
is Otmed by the Cityo
Mr. Romans, referring to the sketch, pointed out the possibilities for a swimming pool,
large parld.Dg lot, apparatus playground, tennis courts,, lighted softball field, ba.seball
field, horseshoe courts, large shaded picnic area, an area fer sledding, skiing and
tabo~$ archery range, soouting area far both boys and girls and a bridle pa.th, all
of which would tie in with the e:x:Lsting recreational area south of West Belleview Avenue ->
Mr. Rudd stated further that planning far the park included the location of any permanent
structures to be above tm high level water line f'or any nooding stage, and tha. t clearance
or all existing utility easements has been consideredQ
In the discussion by the Water and Sewer Boe.rd, it was apparent that, since the land in
question is owned by tm City, in it. s proprietory capacity I am pirchased or1g1na~
with bon:l money or the Water Department, there is some legal question as to how the land
could be turnetl aver to the Recreational Defa:l:"timnt, if at all, for use as a City reerea<;o
tional funct..i. on, which involves the following:
l. If the land can be properly sold.
2~ I! the land can be properly leasedo
It was mutually agreed by the Board that the above tvo points should be studied and a
repart remered by Special Counsel, Mr., Shivers and that further study and report made
