<br /> Mr. Hendrix reported Council had approved these expenditures when
<br />
<br /> the annual budget was presented, but_had asked to review the recommendations.
<br /> There were three categories which Council was not asked t~ review at this
<br /> time: sidewalk construction, sidewalk reconstruction and storm drainage.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Conover questioned the $74,000 expense for a new restroom at
<br />Mclntire Pa~k, and Mr. Hendrix replied that the cost was in line with
<br />similar restrooms built at Penn Park.
<br />
<br /> Mrs. Gleason asked if vandalism was a problem at Pen Park. Mr. Hendrix
<br />responded that there was little vandalism at Pen Park, but considerably
<br />more atMclntire Park, especially due to the isolated location of the
<br />present restrooms and the high volume of traffic through the park. Mr.
<br />Hendrix estimated that the City spends up to $6,000 $7,000 in vandalism
<br />repairs at the Mclntire restrooms per year.

<br /> Mr. Hendrix said no formal action was needed by Council and Mr. Buck
<br />stated the programs were all practical ones and he agreed the City should
