Session 1105, ilinutes June 16, 1975 Page 14 believes this should be done. In response to an inquiry by Councilman Lieberman, the City ~nager said he thinks that the application can be sub- mitted in-house, but the planning should be done by an outside firm. Discussion followed as to selection of a planning firm. i!r. Kohlenberger also explained what is necessary to be included in the proposal, as well as the timing for a preliminary plan. City l~nager Henry pointed out that it appears to him sometime between now and the next meeting there has to be some decision on a park planner. ~iayor Iiaufman pointed out that the Council can move on approval of the con- cept with the recognition that members of the Council apparently will have input on the nature of the park (active or passive) type of facilities gen- erally. Councilman Weissenburger moved the allocation of $2500 to hire a planner with the proviso that by the next meeting of the Council~ }Ir. Kohlenberger will come back with the name of a recommended planner, together with an outline of the experience these people have had in the past, in this field. I-fotion was seconded by Councilman I~rner, and unanimously carried.
