Although not on the agenda the council agreed to hear a request from a citizen asking for the use of the baseball diamonds after 10 p.m. which is now on the "lights-of-f at 10 p.m." policy adopted by the council. The request to be heard came through Oxmtilman John Winder. Apparently the ball player had not been contacted on making reservations for. the Bicentennial ball diamonds although he had been on the city schedule for many years. Consequently it left his team without a place to play. His request was to have the council reconsider their former decision on turning off lights at 10 p.m. and extend it to 10:30 p.m. A straw vote indicated that the council would go along with the extension and the attorney was asked to draft a new ordinance to that effect and have it ready for a vote at the next council meeting. Councilman Ralph Tolman reported to the council his decision to give the senior citizens' group $946.60, his salary to date as it had accrued. Tolman said he will continue to contribute his salary to the senior citizens and boys scouts, at his convenience.
