<br />joint meeting, county, city, US Corps of Engineers p. 2 <br /> <br />I " <br />(~~ <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. J.M. Piester discussed the type of lease used by the Corps <br />for pirk areas. There would be no money involved, but a certain <br />standard of maintenance of the area would be required. He stated <br />it would not be necessary to lease the whole 375 acres of Area #4, <br />but only as much as the lea see was able to maintain satisfactorily. <br />He said the Corps was not in San Marcos to discuss the signing of <br />a lease at this time, but only to acquaint officials with the <br />procedure. Col. Knoll said "there would be no hard feelings" if <br />the City and County decided agatnst leasing any part of Area #4. <br /> <br />Mr. C.H. Beardsley spoke on the costs of maintenance. He said the <br />specicifications were "stiff" on keeping the leased area cleaned <br />and mowed. He quoted present prices as $1.75 to $2.75 per acre <br />per month for cleaning; and $2.50 to $3.00 an acre for mowing. <br />The frequency of mowing would depend on weather conditions. <br />"The Corps would require that the leasee keep the same standards <br />of maintenance (cleanliness and mowing) as is presently maintained <br />on similar government parks", Mr. BeardSley said. <br /> <br />The lea see would be required to furnish the Corps an annual <br />management plan. All profits from the concessions let by the City <br />and County must go baok into park development, w~th the exception <br />of a park manager's salary. <br /> <br />Mayor Taylor said that at present there was no prov~s~on in the <br />1963-1964 budget for development of a reoreational area at <br />Canyon Dam, but he felt the Council was still interested. <br /> <br />Col. Knoll repliedl "Actually, you have a year to a year and a <br />ha If to think it over and pIa n for it". <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />
