BLAIR PARK BOARD
December 3, 1992
The December meeting of the Blair Park Board was called to order at 7:35 p.m. Members
present included: Marilyn Gentry, Bob Leonard, George Wilson and Bill Trisdale. Also
present were City Administrator Rod Storm, Park Superintendent Dale Stricklett and Mr.
Churchich, the source firm which we acquire a good amount of park playground equipment.
There were no bills presented.
Curator Ralph Steyer was in the hospital, hence no report from him.
The report on the R. V. Park encompassed the variety of trees to be planted. Either large
regular ash trees or perhaps the Pat Moore ash which has a more upright growth habit.
This to be decided later. Project is on target as to estimated cost of $38,000 to $39,000.
Eight grills for R. V. Park and five grills for other areas are to be purchased, cost unknown
at this meeting.
It was moved by Wilson, seconded by Gentry to purchase eight picnic tables (two from
recycled materials) for the R. V. Park. Motion carried.
Motion by Gentry to purchase two slides for parks. Cost delivered is $3,401.00, seconded
by Wilson. Motion carried.
The discussion on the nursery continued. Question was raised as to the need for a nursery.
Perhaps a smaller more sophisticated endeavor with input from the Future Friends of the
Arboretum to be pursued. This will be carried over to the January meeting.
Rod Storm gave a report on a new location for a skating rink to be located in the Lion's
North Park location. Since this meeting a temporary rink has been located on school
property west of the North School.
There being no further business, meeting was adjourned at 8:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Bill Trisdale
Park Board Secretary
