Committee Report Parks and Recreation May 25, 1995 Page 2 Council Member Luecke,the First District Council Member where Pinhook Lagoon is located noted that Mr. Ruthrauff and the other members of the Water-ski Club are serious athletes and unfortunately have been unfairly maligned by much of the discussion this evening. Council Member Luecke noted that he has concerns with regard to the peace and quiet of the area,concerns of the residents and enjoyment of the overall park.He stated that he also believes that this should be carefully weighed against the concerns of water-skiing activites but currently he would oppose Bill No. 28-95. Council Member Slavinskas noted that he is not a member of the Committee and voted against the Bill in first reading which is very unusual. Council Member Kelly stated that this has been a very good exchange of ideas but believes that an alternative site should be considered. Council Member Puzzello noted that she also is not a member of the Committee and believes that it should be considered at an alternative location. Council Member Coleman noted that other activity should be properly studied.He thanked Mr. Ruthrauff for his fine presentation and dedication to this area and our community.
