See Agenda Item 7.2. 8.1 Emergency Telephones at Recreation Areas Phil Ha1s reported that the phone in Orono Park that was discussed at recent Recreation Board meetings has been installed. . Charlie B1esener indicated that there has been no change in the proposal for a telephone at the Salk Athletic area. The proposal is for a regular telephone to be locked up. with all Recreation Supervisors having a key for access in case of an emergency. Since this area is used for City wide recreation activities. the financial proposal calls for installation to be shared by the School and City. and for ongoing costs to also be shared by the School and City.
