SAILING CLUB Dr. Mel Fratzke, Craig Edmonston,mand Juan Rodriguez from the University of Arkansas Sailing Club were present to discuss the use of Lake Fayetteville by the sailing classes and the sailing club. The University of Arkansas has been utilizing Lake Fayetteville in the past at a charge decided by the Board. Mr. Edmonston reported that in the past the club has paid an annual boat fee for each boat they own and has kept the boats stored at Lake Fayetteville.

The main use of the Lake by the club is March through October. The Board discussed charging students $1 for each time they come out to sail on their own time. No decision was reached but it was suggested the facilities committee research further and hold a meeting at a later date.

OTHER BUSINESS • Charlie Sego reported that Frank Sharp had contacted him concerning the Arts Center park on Dickson Street. Mr. Sharp requested for PRAB to write a letter in support of the Arts Center park. PRAB discussed the park in that it is not included in the Parks Master P lan and does not meet certain park guidelines to establish new parks within the city. PRAB further stated that they would not recommend that the park be maintained by the Parks Division. The park is not a high priority of the Parks Division. The Parks and Page 3 Recreation Advisory Board has not been involved in the planning of the Arts Center park, and therefore believe it is inappropriate for them to take a position without investigation and evaluation of the park. PRAB further opposes any proposal that plans for the development of a park facility that was not included in the City's Park Master and that could eventually be a financial responsibility of the City Parks Division. PRAB requested that Charlie Sego write a letter to Bob Kelly expressing PRAB's recommendation concerning the Arts Center park. Connie Edmonston invited PRAB to attend the Winter Dance Program Recital to be held on Saturday, December 2, 1989 at 7 p.m., Ramay Junior High Cafeteria.
