FORT COLLINS PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD
Minutes of Meeting, September 23, 1969
The regular monthly meeting of the Fort Collins Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board was opened at 7.00 p.m., September 23, 1969, with Gary Garwood, vice-
chairman, presiding in the absence of the chairman, Charles W. Peterson.
The minutes of the August meeting were corrected to indicate that the golf
course nominees for the advisory board were to be nominated by the Fort Collins
Municipal Golf Association, not the Golf Association and the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board.
Mrs. Virginia Koff, manager of Club Tico, presented the financial reports. She
announced that she is planning to resign as manager of Club Tico because of lack
of time for the position. She will remain in her position until a replacement
is found. Further discussion of this will be at the next meeting. Mrs. Hoff
reported on the repairs needing to be made at Club Tico.
Dr. Lynn Carlisle, Mr. David James, and Mr. James Hoeven presented a request
from the Tennis Club of Fort Collins for additional tennis courts. Dr. Carlisle
e:cplained the need for courts as soon as possible. At the present time there
are only three city -owned courts in Fort Collins; others are owned by CSU and
the public schools. The request asked for at least three courts in Gdors Park
by next sum~a^r with three more to be constructed by the summer of 1971. Estimated
cost including lights is between $7,000 and $7,500. Dr. Carlisle indicated
willingness of the Tennis Club to construct a pro shop and hire a tennis pro
and to help with purchase of equipment.Discussion of this and other possible
proposals followed. It was moved, seconded and carried that the Advisory Board
support the request of the Tennis Club to the City Council for the construction
of more tennis facilities.
Two members of the Outdoor Recreation class from CSU announced that members of
their class would clean parks as part of the beautification project scheduled
for September 27 and 28. The class members indicated a willingness to work on
other projects and asked for cooperation from the Board in publicizing their
activities in outdoor recreation. The close is hoping to give programs for
grade schools to make elementary -age children more recreation -conscious.
The meeting was adjourned.
