With the growth of the pine trees on the west side of the park, access to the pavilion requires entrance to the park at the north end of the trees. This makes accessing of the picnic shelters and pavilion difficult for those with physical challenges. Sandmeier was directed to research the availability of grants for access projects.

The council members offered to assist with the moving of items to the new location when it is ready. Concerns about the non-ADA compliance of the building vs. the historic building designation need to be clarified. The director will research.A number of complaints have been received by city elected officials and employees concerning unkempt properties and unlicensed vehicles within the City of Bowdle. Sandmeier was directed to make phone calls and follow up with letters. Kappenman suggested a fall clean-up day as an avenue to assist those whose property is in need of attention.
