Mr. Oliver: Mr. Beck and I have had several conversations about this. One issue that concerns us is liability and we plan to talk to Mr. Wall about this. Mr. Beck: We have had several meetings with the skate- boarders about this. We have looked at two possible sites where space would be available for their use. One is at the Municipal Parking Plaza but this site does present some problems as far as height restrictions for their jumps, especially on the lower level. The other site is at Chafee Park where we are going to do some fairly extensive sales tax work next year with renovations. There is ample space at this facility and it would seem to be a good alternative for this type of recreation. The cost would be about $51,000 for the renovations to accommodate this. After a lengthy discussion, Mr. Kuhlke: I'd like to make a motion that we do not take any action on this today, that we allow the Administrator and Mr. Beck to come back to both the Public Safety and Public Services Committees at the next meeting and present us with the alternatives that we have and that we try ~ to take action at those meetings to come to a resolution of this problem.
