ZE: RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND AREA BY FAIR GROUNDS DISCUSSED ~~ Members of the Cutter Association, Fair Board, Posse, and concerned groups attended the meeting to discuss plans for the cutter track and fair grounds. The track accross 5th West must be temporary closure to allow them to have a regulation track. An alternate route for the road which now goes to the fair grounds, city shop, dog pound, and lagoons. Walters is willing to trade the city a piece of ground for another piece which would enable the road to be changed to alleviate so many turns. The Fair Board is planning to build horse stalls at the fair grounds and a picnic area. They want to build a bridal path to run down along the river and a park. Councilman Barton Jensen proposed that the groups get aerial photos from Clayter Forsgren. Ask each group what their plans would be; then form. a committee to make a final study for recreational facilities in that area. Then lets see what you come up with so the county, city,and any interested clubs can participate. All agreed this would be a good plan. The council agreed that the Cutter Association would be able to continue closing the road on 5th west for their races for the 1976 season. ~E: ANNEXATION OF PROPERTY OWNED BY SIEPERT DISCUSSED The annexation of some property owned by Siepert was discussed.
