"Is the mowing and maintenance of the parks more appropriately in the Park department or in the Public Works department?" Alderman Pepping asked "Should the main­ tenance person report to the director of parks or the superintendent of Public Works?" Pepping noted that officially the maintenance person in the parks reports to the superintendent of Public Works, while unofficially he receives direction from the director of Parks and Recreation Alderman Wieser commented, "These are tough economic times and the park system is rapidly outgrowing what we can afford. There should be one person in charge of all aspects of the parks." The council did agree that if the Park department was to be responsible for the mowing of the parks, it should also take care of the various open green areas throughout the city. To this end, the council decided that a maintenance staff of one full-time employee, sup­ plemented in the summer by part-time help, would be sufficient to handle the mowing and upkeep responsibilities. The meeting was recessed until Thursday, Nov. 5, at 7:30 p.m. when the restructuring discussion will resume.
