RECREATION CHARGES

Mr. Theder requested that this
information on comparisons between old and- new fees be typed
for their reference.
Rev. Traster stated that he was
pleased with the changes that were made, although it did cause
some discontentment, it cleared up some discrepancies that existed
in the classes.
Mr. Theder read letters of complaint
from citizens in the ceramics classes.
Mr. Lindsey stated that the
problems had been corrected by delaying the changes until the
next recreation program schedule went out in May.
Mr. Theder stated that he would

being taken to answer the complaints on the recreation fee
revisions.

WILSHIRE TENNIS COURTS
Rev. Traster stated that he had
several different people look at the courts to see what could be
done. He stated there were three ways to go that they could
consider. They were surfacing only, asphalt, or concrete.
Mrs. Rawlings asked how much
money that had to operate with?
Rev. Traster made the motion
that the City Manager supply the Board with the balance of
Capital Improvement funds plus an itemized statement of expendi-
tures.
Mrs. Rawlings seconded the motion
and the vote was as follows :
Ayes : Mesdms. Zella Stierwalt, Jolly Rawlings ; Messrs. Jay
Theder and Rev. Traster.
Nays : None
The motions was declared carried.
Rev. Traster recommended that the
Board suggest either asphalt or concrete.
Mrs. Rawlings stated that they
should consider quality above all.
Rev. Traster stated that from
his study and talking with those who had put in new courts, all
said that they would go with pre-stressed concrete.
After a lengthy discussion, Rev.
Traster moved that the Board request the City Manager to draw up
specifications for rebuilding the Wilshire tennis courts out of
concrete, to let the bids, and to approve this expenditure from
our capital improvement funds and request from the City Manager
that this be placed on the next City Council agenda.
Mr. Lindsey stated that the first
three weeks in August would be the best time to rebuild the courts
because it is just before school starts and the end of the T.A.A.F.
season.

and the vote was as follows :
Ayes : Mesdms . Zella Stierwalt and Jolly Rawlings ; Messrs. Jay
