Anchor Fence Co. to be erected in Orchard Lane Park. Motion
Carried.
Members of the Board agreed to appoint a committee to study the
various aspects of a swimming pool for the Village. It was
pointed out that this should not be a promotional committee,
but rather be a committee to gather facts and make recommendations.
The committee will be charged with the responsibility to survey
the extent of interest, help determine the economic feasibility,
means of financing, location, and generally whether Brooklyn
Center should seriously consider a pool in the near future. The
Director was instructed to contact the local P.T.A.'s and have
them recommend persons to serve on the committee.
After a report of park projects and progress, the meeting was
adjourned at 900 P.M.
