Once again the problem of
rowdiness in the recreation
centre's parking lot during
and after events was
discussed with the Board
instructing recreation
director Ian Smith to write a
letter to Day informing him
of the problem at the Friday
evening roller skating
session.
Smith said there was some
problem with noise and
speeding autos during and
after the conclusion of roller
skating.
Exeter rep. Don. Cameron
said speed bumps should be
installed, something which
he's been advocating for the
past two years.
The Board agreed the
bumps would definitely slow
things down but Smith said
the bumps were impractical
due to the problems which

To inspect
police office

DeJager to make the final
inspection on the new police
building at a cost to the town
of $150.
DeJager informed them
that he would be unable to
conduct the inspection until
next week due to a trip he
had planned and suggested
that former building in-
spector Doug Triebner be

removal of snow.
In a separate report
concerning roller gskating,
Smith reported that they
were experiencing far fewer
problems with rough skating
compared to a year ago.
Smith questioned the need
to have a full time member
of the staff at the centre
when the problem skaters
from last year were not
appearing,
A member of the centre's
full time staff will be on
supervisory duty on Friday.
Usborne, representative
Ann Front asked the Board if
their was a need for part-
time supervisor for the other
skating times when a full-
time person could be on
hand. From a parental
standpoint, Prout stated she
did not consider it a waste of
money to have a regular
staff person on hand at the
skating sessions.
Smith said the roller
skatin'g supervision was
cutting down on the number
of hours which the staff had
available for other dutires.
exeter mayor Derry Boyle
said the situation was an
administrative matter and
that the decision should be
left up to Smith. The other
Board members agreed with
Boyle.
The final roller skating
matter saw the Board ap-
prove the purchase of three
additional pair of roller
skates,
Tennis players not
belonging to the Exeter
Tennis Club may get some
more prime time playing
time if a proposal by
Cameron meets with the
approval of the club's 1980
executive.
Cameron said he had
received some complaints
about the amount of prime
time which the club had
control over on the courts,
which were funded by the
Exeter Lions club.
Last year club time was on
Saturday and Sunday from
12 until dusk and Monday to
Friday from 5 p.m. until
dusk.
Cameron proposed that on
the weekend the club would
take priority from 12 until 5
p.m. with no club time
scheduled for Tuesday and
Thursday. The same hours
as in -the 1979: agreement
would be in effect,tbn Mon-
day, Wednesday and Friday.
The courts are available to
the general public during
club time if they are not
being utilized by club
members, Smith stated.
Cameron said he favoured
a tennis club as it gave
stability to the use of the
courts but that he was
merely reacting on the
complaints which he had
received,
The Board agreed to
present Cameron's
proposals when they meet
with the tennis club,
probably later in the month.
In another sport involving
a court, the Board gave their
blessing to proposal for the
erection of abasketball net in
the south-west corner of the
rec centre's parking lot.
The Board mixed the idea
of a portable net with Smith
noting that if the net was
portable on the court it could
be moved to other parts of
the town by vandals.
In reply to a couple of
questions, Smith said the use
of the parking lot as a
playing area would not affect
the insurance coverage and
that he could see no
problems in terms of com-
plaints from neighbors.
Exeter Public School which
proposed the net, will pay for
the unit with no cost to the
Board.
While Wintario is
generally associated with
giving large funds for
community projects the
Board discovered that the
arm of the ministry of
culture and recreation can
also take back dollars from
municipalities.
The ministry requested the
Board return $178.18 which
was dispensed by Wintario In
1977 for the purchase of
baseball and softball
equipment.
Wintario stipulates that
funds not used for the pur-
pose which they were in-
tended for must be returned,
"It's really refreshing that
the province is looking after
us like this," Cameron said
with tongue in cheek.
In a move which the
Exeter Minor Hockey
Association might not be all
that pleased with, the Board
approved the interest
charges of one and one
quarter percent per month
after 30 days on all unpaid
accounts.
At the end of April; the
Board had $6,671.85 in
overdue accounts with minor
hockey accounting for a
considerable amount of this
sum, according to Smith.
In other business, the
Board:
Learned that the candy
Machine installed in
December was , proving to be
a real money-maker. The
unit had taken in $1,600
compared to costs of $582.
Instructed Smith to keep
Hay township informed of
the Board's activities; Smith
indicated he may attend a
meeting of the township
council.
Will meet with a
representative of the Frank
Cowan Insurance Company
to review the Board's
coverage.
Learned that the
McMichael Collection of
reproductions of the Group
of Seven's works will be at
the rec centre in. July. A
puppet show will also appear
at the centre in July while in
August a collection of native
art works will be on display.
Will purchase a set of
bases for the ball diamond at
a cost of $150. Smith will
check on the safety aspects
of the bags with other groups
that use the bags.
