It will need some renovation and has to be brought up to current Building Codes. Bill Stults stated he felt the City Council would be supportive.

Park Naming Guidelines Ralph Hale stated the Park Naming Guideline Nancy presented was "pretty standard" and Mack Lewis said it was a "good guide". Nancy added under II "That once a site was secured a name should be selected as soon as possible", so as it developed it would be referred to by the proper name. It was then recommended, voted on and passed unanimously for the guidelines to be forwarded to City Council for approval. ® D. Master Plan and Survey After re-reviewing the bid information received for Master Plan it was determined that the City would be able to develop a suitable Master Plan without the help of an outside agency. ~F The City will be sending out a Parks and Recreation Survey to help determine the interests of the citizens in Central Point, and what they would like to see developed in the community. The survey will also be available on the City's website (www.ci.central-point.or.us). ® E. Skate Park / Moore Park Development There has been a total of $1650.00 received from "bricks" and raffles towards the Skate Park. The City is still hoping to purchase the Central Point Elementary School land and is waiting to hear back from the School District once the site has been appraised. It would be a good site as it is centrally located and would be widely used. Ground has been broken on the "Moore Park" site! After the approval and adoption of the naming guidelines an official name can be given to this development. VI. MISCELLANEOUS There has been a lot of painting and renovation going on at Pfaff Park including the installation of a new tot lot. A copy of the City's Park budget was requested so it could be reviewed and is enclosed. It has not yet been approved by the Council, but should be done sometime in June.
