participation levels ick the activities are high.

the minutes show that the Commission feels Barbara does a great job in

IA DRIU, AVENUE
Chuck Burmeister gave a short history of the Laurel Avenue area, the recom-
mendations made by the Commission in the past and what has been done. Rick
Jacobson then updated the Commission on the current status. The storm
sewer is being finished, the link to Jersey Avenue is done (South Cortlawn
area), and Bob Close has been hir d to design plantings to buffer the homes
from Hampshire to Colorado Avenues. A neighborhood meeting will be held to
review the preliminary plans witD the residents from that area.
Chuck Burmeister gave a report f the last Pool Committee meeting. The
architect brought a preliminary plan with an estimated cost of $6.5 mil-
lion. The Committee directed Ed Kodet to come back with a plan using less
square footage and an approximate figure of $4 million.
George Murad reported that the only complaint is with the deterioration of
some greens. The course is fine and fun, one of the best around, however
the Committee would like to see the maintenance level raised. The Men's
Club has donated 150' markers for the course.

Chuck Burmeister expressed concern that the same issues keep coming up
through the Committee. Rick Jacobson responded that Andy, in trying to
save the City money, tends to take on more major projects than his time
will allow and then perhaps sma 1 1 concerns sometimes fall through the
cracks. Rick will review with Andy which projects should be done in house
and which should be contracted out.
