General up-keep of the park is bad; grass hasn't been cut regularly; garbage is not being emptied; the dust from the baseball fields in an on-going complaint. Mayor Petrigac stated that she would check into these problems but suggested that Councilman Tallon contact the Service Director or the Recreation Director with such complaints, instead of waiting to bring them up at a council meeting, and faster action could be taken in alleviating such problems in the future.

Mayor Petrigac replied-that this complaint has already been reported and the Service Department is dealing with it. Mr. McKay stated that a phone call was received regarding the weed cutting at the park and also complaining that the city workers sit on the hood of the trucks from 2 to 3 P.M. Mayor Petrigac responded that there had been some concern with respect to one young person recently and it was being looked into; some of the workers had been given to the city by the county and this may not be such a bargain.
