Councilman Bohrer said on Page 1.1 the language should be addressed. On Page 2.5 additional information should be added that relates to demands. He said that priorities placed on the bike trails are too low. On Page 3.2 in the discussion of Foster Memorial Park he suggested that the word "currently" be inserted in the second paragraph after word "deed- restriction." On Page 3.3 there is reference to undersized softball field. There is room for more than one softball field. In the Table on Page 4.4 in the comparison of day use population and resident use, other people other than residents have the choice as to where they can conduct their recreation. The comparison shown inflates the needs for 1990. He said he would like to see an approach taken to reduce the day time use. Councilman Bohrer said the daytime use of the baseball fields, since they are for youth, should not be considered. Mr. Williams referred to other changes that had been made due to suggestions by the Council. He said the CIP pages for the golf course show the parking stalls. There are 121 stalls at the golf course. The City does not own or have a lease on the stalls along Interurban, although they are being used by the City. They would like 250 stalls.
