COMPLAINT RE: VANDALISM AND CRIME IN AREA OF PINHOOK PARK Mr. Steve Sparks, 2517 Northview Drive, and Mrs. Gus Schaut, 2521 Northview Drive, complained to the Board about the vandalism and crime they were experiencing as residents in the immediate vicinity of Pinhook Park and Lagoon. Mr. Sparks stated that the neighbors had previously requested a traffic study in the area with the hopes of having their street designated for restricted residential parking. He stated that he has approached Mr. Seitz, Park Superintendent, concerning the problem and nothing has been done. He stated that his councilman had suggested that he appear before the Board. He indicated that patrons of the park park illegally in yellow curb areas, in driveways and in front of fire hydrants. Mr. McMahon stated that the petition for restricted residential parking in that area had previously been filed with the Board and the traffic study was underway. Mrs. Schaut felt part of the problem was that the laws were not enforced. She stated that people swim at the south end of the lagoon where they are not allowed to.

Mr. Hill stated that the Police Department was aware of the problem in that area and has been and would continue to monitor the situation through its Special Operations Section. Regarding the traffic situation, that matter was still under study, and he hoped that, when the traffic study has been completed, some action could be taken to try and alleviate some of the problems being experienced by the residents. He stated that he could understand why these activities were particularly annoying, probably more so than in other city parks, because of the park's close proximity to the residences. Mrs. Schaut stated that the traffic survey had been taken after the storm which had hit the.city on July 5th and there were not many cars parked in the area. Mr. Kernan stated that the survey of the area had been scheduled in advance, and the survey team had no way of knowing the storm would hit that day. Mr. McMahon stated that most of the items brought to the attention of the Board fell within the jurisdiction of the Park Board. He advised Mr. Sparks and Mrs. Schaut that Mr. Hill would be checking into the matter and would be contacting Mr. Seitz and the Police Chief regarding the problems they had mentioned.

REQUEST CONCERNING CALVERT NEAR RANDOLPH AND SAMPSON (COUNCILWOMAN BECK) Mrs. Beverlie J. Beck, Third District Councilwoman, requested that the Board check into the need of a large calvert or cave under the Conrail tracks near Randolph and Sampson. She stated that the cave was blocked on one side so it was apparent it was not being used as a retention basin. She stated that she had talked the matter over with John Leszczynski and he had agreed that the calvert was probably not being used for water retention. She explained that a young boy had been molested in the area by a man hiding in the calvert, and she asked that the Board check into the need for the calvert. Mr. McMahon stated that he would have his department check into the matter to determine whether or not the calvert served any purpose before contacting Conrail. There being no further business to come before the Board, upon a motion made by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the meeting was adjourned at 10:35 a.m. ATTEST: Barbara J. Byers, Clbrk
