<br />Ron Weber, 1445 Truman Court <br /> <br />Don Gurey, Neodata Services <br />1255 Portland Place, Boulder <br /> <br />1/18/83 <br /> <br />Page -15- <br /> <br />a family tree donation day is planned; would <br />donate money for a tree that would go in <br />the park with their family name. All residents <br />are enthused and are willing to participate <br />as much as necessary to get the park started. <br />The residents in the area are really feeling <br />a part of Louisville; felt that people in <br />the neighborhood would be guardians not only <br />over the park, but neighborhood as well. <br />This community effort has prompted acquain- <br />tances throughout the area. They were ask- <br />ing City Council to prioritize what is going <br />to be done so that they can have the safety <br />features in the park; also would like to <br />obtain p1aygrowld equipment and hopefully <br />have this accomplished by April, weather <br />permitting. Primarily would like to have <br />the rough grading done and fencing relative <br />to safety features. This would enable the <br />children to have a place to play when the <br />adults are doing the work, such as laying <br />sod, etc. Mrs. Forest provided council with <br />a picture of play equipment they would like <br />installed in the proposed park. <br /> <br />Stated the idea of the park and the way it <br />is being propos,ed is a bold idea, which came <br />to him while riding behind a car that stated <br />Louisville is Bolder. Commented there was <br />a tremdous amount of momentum among the <br />residents of the area. Everyone in the area <br />is willing to participate and will save <br />the City money. It was his feeling the <br />resident participation would be a savings <br />of $20,000 in labor intensity. It was his <br />feeling such an opportunity was only presented <br />to council once in ten years, and the savings <br />realized on the project can be used to fund <br />something else. Felt that if the Council <br />can make some commitment to get the proposed <br />park constructed, then he felt there would <br />be great publicity for the city and the <br />people throughout the community may possibly <br />follow the example and participate in a <br />project they envision. <br /> <br />Commented on some interest the Neodata people <br />expressed in the proposed Hil1sborough West <br />Park. Remarked the residents showed a <br />tremendous amount of spirit; believed these <br />people were dedicated to the community and <br />they would like to be a part of it. They <br />
