SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS
a. Team Sports Committee:
Younghans reported that Warren Ditch's soccer program was
impressive. Good reports were also given by representatives
from Girl's Softball, Men's Softball, and Babe Ruth. Committee
members objected to the wording "permanent" in referring to
Seeman field as a sight for Little League. They approved the
place for Little League play but feel it is unecessary to call
any sight "permanent". Younghans read the Committee's recom-
mendation for Seeman Park to the Commission.
Younghans further stated that the Committee's charge has
been expanded to look at long range facilities for sports
in Golden Valley.
b. Brookview Select Committee:
Burmeister reported for Murad. The second week in July the
plans from the architect will be presented along with the
cost for each project. At that time the question of revenue
will be discussed as to where the dollars will come from
to cover the project.
