<br />Mrs. Petrigac, Chairman Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings as well as Transportation
<br />Committee reported: 1) Recreation Committee met on July 23rd with Councilmen O'Grady
<br />and Petrigac present as well as Mayor 5wietyniowski. Ordinance No. 85-52, creating a
<br />Capital Improvement Fund entitled "Recreation Capital Improvement" was discussed. The
<br />Mayor recommends that this ordinance not be passed; lOZ is already available for
<br />capital needs; if money is needed for an emergency and has already been earmarked then
<br />it could not be used. Committee therefore recommends a "no" vote on Ordinance No. 85-52.
<br />2) Committee discussed Ordinance No. 85-53 and Mrs. Petrigac will be making a motion to
<br />amend by a deletion of the $28,300; the $3,300 for Endowments and Grants will be re-
<br />tained.
<br />3) Committee recommends that Ordinance No. 85-54 be tabled since the transfers of
<br />appropriations have been covered in a previous transfer ordinance.
<br />4) The Recreation Commission made five recommendations to the Charter Review Committee
<br />and the Recreation Committee of Council definitely agrees with Item No. 4, providing
<br />that the council member on the Recreation Commission also be appointed as Chairman
<br />of the Recreation Committee.
<br />5) Landmarks Commission met on August 15th; discussed the material compiled to meet the
<br />grant proposal of July 31st; this will be presented to council at the next meeting.
<br />The volunteers who compiled this report have done an outstanding Sob; Mrs. Petrigac was
<br />most impressed by the volume of work they accomplished and feels council will be
<br />equally pleased.
