Persons in attendance included: Councilmen Taylor, Paszek, Barcome, Puzzello, Zakrzewski, Voorde, and Braboy; Mr. James Seitz, Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand and the news media. Councilman Barcome noted that the purpose of the meeting was to review Bill No. 21-86 which would appropriate funds in the amount of $115, 000 from the General Park Fund to the Park Maintenance Fund. Zr. Seitz noted that the money was necessary to resurface the tennis courts at Leeper Park. He noted that this would be far more than color .coating and that it would actually be resurfacing. He noted that 1985 was a good year for miscellaneous receipts and especially in the golf course receipt area. $227, 000 was reported revenue from the Erskine Golf Course. Councilman Taylor questibnld when the tennis courts at Marshall • were last resurfaced. Mr. Seitz noted that he has concerns of placing asphalt over concrete tennis courts. Color coating alone would cost $4 ,000 per court but this would not address the cracks. He estimated that it would cost $15,000 to bring the Marshall Courts up to an acceptable condition. Councilman Taylor noted that Marshall was included in the bond issue but was later removed. He stated that he would vote in favor of this appropriation however, requested that Marshall tennis courts be reconsidered for assistance. Councilman Braboy also questioned the condition of other tennis courts throughout the City. It was noted that Studebaker courts also needed special assistance. Following further discussion by the Committee, Councilman Taylor made a motion seconded by Councilman Paszek that Bill No. 21-86 go to Council favorably. The motion passed unanimously. Councilman Barcone noted that there was no further business to come before the Committee. The meeting was therefore adjourned at 4:50 p.m. Respectfully submitted, James Barcome, Chairman Parks and Recreation Committee mRe[ Pens PUBLISHING CO.
