and to request money for fencing at Croixwood in next year's
budget. Discussion followed, and it was determined th t it would
be more appropriate to fence the ballfield this year.

the funds are available; motion seconded by John Bens All in
favor.

Park and Recreation Board Meeting
March 9, 1988
ARENA REPORT
Bob Bielenberg presented a balance sheet for Lily Lake ecreation
center from Sept. 1, 1986 through August 31, 1987. After
reviewal of the balance sheet, the Board found that th Arena is
in fact a profitable venture in regard to cash-flow.
Bob Bielenberg suggested that the Arena employ only part-time
workers, and that the Arena open at noon rather than 8:00 a.m.,
in order to reduce expenses. The Board requested that he
formulate a proposal on how he can best implement his time, with
part-time help, in order to keep his costs down. He will present
the plan at the next meeting.
John Benson suggested that a request for a new roof for the Arena
be included in next year's budget. The Commission dir cted Bob
Bielenberg to bring a request before the City Council for a
structural engineer to examine the roof. He is then to obtain
bids for work on the roof based on the engineer's reco endations.
