ANOTHER 1SSUE The controversy includes: The board claims it has been reducâ€" ed to caretaker status and that council is interferring in its functions and refuses to dediâ€" cate future parkland as such. Mayor Bauer feels‘that dissatâ€" isfied members of the board should resign if they are unâ€" happy with policies set by counâ€" cil or if they are not able to induce council to change its policies. The board claims it has the sole responsibilities under the Public Parks Act to determine the amount of money it needs for maintenance â€" up to one millâ€"in any 1 year and that counâ€" cil must approve the requested amount. This is where Mayor Bauer‘s confusion begins Mr. Sims inâ€" timated. Last week the mayor said it was â€" "perfectly ridiculous" . to suggest that the board should have one mill to spend just beâ€" cause the act says so. In reply Mr. Sim said: ".... in the case of Waterâ€" loo Park Board the one mill is not required and it is not anticâ€" ipated that it will be needed under the preset circumstances.
