Recreation facilities:
Mr. Harold Petrey, Recreation Director, stated that he felt the
schools could be handled with limitations. Concerning present abuses of the
facilities by the Bassett School, the Council assured Mr. Petrey that he had
the authority to deal with this problem.
Mr. Claussen suggested that Ordinance No. 324 include wording to
the effect: "that churches, schools and other institutions may use the facilities
with approval of the Recreation Director and availability of the property.
Further, that the Director shall have the right and authority to levy a fee for
the facility used in accordance with maintenance costs and services required. "
Mr. Claussen further suggested that this be made a part of
Section 1, of the above mentioned ordinance.

Four-day week for the Police Department:
Chief Fowler petitioned the Council for approval of a 4-day work
week for the Police Department on the basis of the success of the system
that has resulted in other Police Departments. He stated he would like to
initiate it on a trial basis, that he is not asking for any more money, any
more men or any more equipment.
It was the consensus of the Council that the Village Manager could
establish this change on a trial basis as an administrative policy.
The meeting adjourned at 4:55 p. m.
