Minutes of the Regular PRAB Meeting held
February 20, 1989 were approved.
Lake Sequoyah Night Fishing & Limb Line/Trot
Line Request:
Dale Clark reported that City Attorney, Jim
McCord had visited with the Arkansas Game and
Fish Commission attorney, Doug Mayes concerning
the legality of the City Ordinances. It was
found that municipalities may manage their
lakes as that see fit as long as they own the
property around it and the accesses. Jim
McCord stated that he would support the
Ordinance as written.
MOTION: MELTON/RYAN
After holding two public meetings concerning
night fishing and limb line/trot lines at Lake
Sequoyah, and reviewing the City Ordinance with
the City Attorney and the Arkansas Game and
Fish Commission Attorney, PRAB recommends that
there be no changes in the Lake City Ordinance.
Motion passed unanimously. (7-0)

The Annual Spring Park Tour will be held on
IV.
Saturday, April 15th at 7 a.m. starting at
Wilson Park north parking lot by the castle.
Each board member will complete park evaluation
forms prior to the tour.
Little League Report - Jim Hawkins, Sturman
Mackey:
Little League reported that are currently 588
youth enrolled with the deadline being April
4th. Last year there were 622 youth
participating in Little League including six
year olds. The six year old program was on a
two year trial period and this year it was
decided that six year old's large motor skills
were not developed enough and the youth were
not ready for names. It was suggested that
only an instructional league was needed.
Little League stated that some fence work needs
to be done prior to the season. Other
improvements needed were lights for Field #t6,
safety netting for the bleachers, additional
parking, and more playing fields in the next
four to five years.
PRAB discussed that a parking lot on the east
side of the park is needed. Walker Park is
eligible for C.D. Funding and the parking lot
will be on the 1990 C.D. funding request by the
Parks Division.
V. Babe Ruth Report:
Charlie Sego reported that there was a thirty
percent increase in the number of youth
participating in the Babe Ruth League.
