Mrs. Rose Brooks, Mrs. Peggy <br />Byas, Mr. George Taack, and Warren Leddick. <br /> <br />The only item on the agenda was the discussion of <br />the use of City Park, and its use as a trailer park. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Mrs. Patty Sullivan and seconded <br />by George Taack, Jr. <br /> <br />The motion was to recommend to the City Council <br />that the City of San Marcos, effective June, 1974, no <br />longer operate City Park as a trailer park for trailer <br />rallies or overnight parking. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The board feels that since a private camp-ground will <br />be opening, the City should not compete with private <br />enterprise. <br /> <br />The board feels that the park should now be made <br />available exclusively for the citizens of San Marcos for <br />a further expanded Park and Recreation Program. <br /> <br />The board feels that the City should not make a large <br />investment to'renovate the facilities, such as electrical <br />and sewer hook-up repairs, for out of town use. The <br />present electrical system is no longer capable of ha.ndling <br />large rallies without a complete overhaul. A number of the <br />electrical outlets need replacing if we are going to con- <br />tinue to operate. <br /> <br />The board feels that if the City Council decides <br />to continue to use the park for trailers, due to a minority <br />interest group, that funds from ~ther .ources be sought to <br />cover the cost of making the necessary improvements needed. <br /> <br />tI <br />
