A brief question and answer period followed with Mr. Rose's associates responding.
Questions and Answers are as follows:
Q: What about storage containers?

Q: What about peripheral lighting?

skatepark.
Q: How is this design perceived by others?
A: The design has been shown to top - flight skaters and their response was top-
notch.

expensive to repair.

A: It caters to everything the skater likes including a street element. It also will have
an event area for non - structured skating and a spectator area as well.
Q: What about the liability issues?
A: It is planned for an ordinance be established that would require helmets and
protective elbow and knee pads to be worn. As well as signs requiring protective
gear must be worn and a written release must be on file. Boys & Girls Club will
have their own insurance and ID cards are planned.
Q: What is the budget?
A: The budget is around $1.8 million at this time. We hope to trim that down before
it goes to Council in September /October.
