the lease to the Dolls.
Councilman Siebenbaum as a member of the finance committee spoke to the Mayor oil
CON
fl
a the park spending.
n He sold the park was in the red and was still spending money that was]
not there. He said that a voucher had been turned in for $40.00 for leveling ground and moving
a log, and that could have been done by the street department at no extra cost but no one
knew about it until the voucher had been turned in. He said there was no cooperation from the
park department and that something had to be done do stop the unnessary spending.L Councilman{
Siebenbau moved that from now on no further expenditures be made from the park fund without
first getting permission from the City Council. Seconded by Councilmen Sullivan.

Mayor Leighton asked the City Attorney if the City Council could mane the motion. City
Alill
oi,
Attorney Abraham said the City Council could as for as the motion and information being
jr M;Itransmitted
to the park board is concerned but the park board was not subject to the control
of the City Council. He said that the Council had budget control only and that was the
Z"A
z
appropriation of the money and having appropriated the money under the park board setup as
recently constituted the council really has no authority to interfere in the management of
the park board in any way. He said that he could not advise the council except other than a
record of protest and that the motion would probably have no effect. After considerable more
discussion Councilman Sullivan called for the question and upon roll call vote all seven
councilmen present voted in the affirmitive and motion declared carried. Councilman Swinhoe
'said that he would like to go on record that all that had to be done to determine
was who
was responsible for the lack of cooperation and unecessery spending then eliminate the source
I
f the problem.
