Reeve Moffat presented a report of the Parks Committee
in which the Committee respectfully submit the following:
All members present, a very general discussion took place
through Dr. Phil Jones it was learned that members of the
Soccer and Rugger teams are anxious to meet with the
Connnittee. We felt that before any meeting could be
arranged, we should meet with Mr. Batson. This meeting
was arramged fpr tbe fpl1cving Tuesday at 3.00 p.m.
The Parks Committee would like to know if the Parks Board
has been properly disbanded and also the Parks Committee
feel that Council being the governing body should take
the necessary steps regarding the bank account.
It was agreed, one project for this year should be to
remove hard-ball from the Town Park, and then put some
work on levelling down the centre of the park ground. We
also feel, depending on cost, we would like to purchase a
new bleecher or possibly two.
Las year we had a bUdget of $4,000.00 we spent jut over
$3,800.00 We feel that we will require $5,000.00 this year
so we may do these few extra pieces of work.
January 26th. 1965
Two members of the connnittee met with Mr. Batson. We feel
it is a good thing to talk things over at the beginning
of the year and have a plan to follow. Mr. Batson is in
charge of all sports and games in the parks, that is he
will know 1ihat group or team is in which park arid when.
It was agreed that Mr. Batson will give to the Parks
Committee a copy of the programme as he gets each group
lined up, this ~ no doubt will be added too from time
to time until completed.
Mr. Batson also has a tentative plan for extra space, for
soccer but as the plan is not finalized he felt it would
be much better left out of any report.
MOFFAT.:
CORBETT:
"Resolved that the report of the Parks Conunittee
dated February 1st .1965 be accepted."
Carried.
Mayor Davis stated the Parks Board bank account would
remain in the bank until a decision is made after Council
