DAVIS PUBLIC SCHOOL Representatives of the West Rouge Sports Association along with the presi~ent were present at the meeting. Mr. Dave Carnie the president and spokesman for the group read aloud a letter which his association had prepared for presentation to the Council. The following points were brought out. (a) There was never proper allowance made for the maintaining of the School yard at West Rouge school and W. G. Davis Public School. (b) Fertilizer was not applied last fall because it was too late for it to have been of any effect on the condition of the grounds. The money that was saved by not fertilizing was not used to improve the grounds in apy other way. (c) The grass had only been cut a couple of times all season. (d) Weeds are growing through the cinder track. It needs a strong weed killer. (e) Ball diamond had been moved before the Association had a suitable location to place it at. It was told the Association earlier that the Diamond would remain at it~ location until they authorized its removal. (f) Something should be done to block off the entrances to the school yard to prevent people from driving cars and motorbykes over the grounds. The Director felt that the West Rouge School Yard needed complete resodding to bring about any results and even if this was done people would have to be kept off the field during the spring. It was suggested that Council ·meèt with the Ontario County School Board to make them honour their part of the agreement with respect to tbe upkeep of the two school yards. The Committee decided that. (a) The Township must be prepared to handle the program and not rely on the School Board to initiate the project on either W. G. Davis or West Rouge Public Schools. Total redevelopment in the West Rouge area was greatly needed. That the Director of Parks and Recreation attend a monthly meeting of the West Rouge Sports Association to resolve any other unsolved matters. (b) (c) - å - rp r:\ p "\'1' ,... , \ . ..... ' . a' T.
