were many improvements over the 2004 audit review based on what all the

committees which did not occur in 2005. She reviewed the audit in detail for the
board. She stated that while each board and committee was directly responsible
for their monies, the fact that each committee utilized the Leisure Boards EIN

distinguishing those eligible to stay over night. Concern was raised over having
both the track meet and BMX on the same weekend and Ms Beechey stated that only
three communities would be participating in the track meet, with one person per

electric current could not enter the water. She commended Mark Anderson for
being diligent and finishing within a day. She also commended public works for
their diligence in cutting the cement around the entire pool.
Ms Beechey stated she was
not sure what the bill from Mark Anderson would be-she stated that approximately
$1,000 was spent on the materials to complete the project. She stated that the
short term pool cd was due that week. She recommended moving $2,000 dollars from
the cd into the general fund to cover those costs and roll the remaining cd
money into a new cd. Ms Bliznesky suggested not to invest anything until the

unhealthy example to their children, the use of cigarettes by spectators could
also prove harmful to healthy living. MS Beechey stated that it would help
reinforce the school districts no tobacco use for school sponsored activities,
particularly where the Myer Complex was concerned. Ms Beechey stated that in
City Ordinance, Leisure Services does set park policy and was in their right to
do so in this case. Ms Beechey stated it would also be a tool to curb underage
smoking and tobacco use as it is only unlawful to purchase tobacco, not to use
it under the age of 18. Mr. Mayer suggested the difficulty in policing such a
policy. MS Barrett suggested there would have to be postings.
