Reno Evening Gazette Tuesday, September 23, 198025 Area deaths Sparks park fees to be studied Leslie McGinnis Visitation is scheduled 5 to 9 p.m. today and 9 a to 9 p.m. Wednesday at the Walton Funeral Home, Reno, for Leslie McGin Hicks outlined the nominal fee. including the $10 administrative charge, as free for groups of up to 24 people, $10 for 25 to 49. $20 for 50 to 99.

$35 for 100 to 199 and $60 for groups of 200 or more. Cost-covering fees, according to Hicks, would be $25 for groups up to 24. $35 for 25 to 49, $60 for 50 to 99. $85 for 100 to 199 and $110 for groups of 200 or more. The other two alternatives offered by Hicks would be to either charge everyone the nominal fees or the cost-covering fees.

Mayor Ron Player said the council would study the report by Hicks and advise him at a later time if an ordinance should be drawn up to increase parks fees for groups. In a related matter, the council approved Hicks' recommendation to close the restroom facilities at Shelly and Aimone neighborhood Hicks said the vandalism included everything from graffiti on the walls to ripping out panels or doors off hinges. He said Shelly Park, 2901 N. Truckee Lane, and Aimone Park, 55 Queen Way, suffered more damage from vandalism than any other neighborhood park in the city. Hicks said because the parks were constructed for use by the immediate neighborhood, he thought those in the neighborhood could go to their homes to use the restroom.

Hicks said the restrooms would be locked at Shelly Park, and the pre-fabricated restroom facilities at Aimone Park would be removed. However, he said portable restroom facilities would be set up at Aimone Park during Little League baseball and Pop Warner football The Sparks City Council decided Monday to study rate increases for group use of community parks, but agreed to close restrooms at two neighborhood parks that have been targets of vandalism. Recreational Director Les Hicks estimated the costs of preparing facilities for group activities to run between $25 and $150, depending on the size and demands of the group. In the council's afternoon caucus session. Hicks listed four alternative fee structures, including keeping the present charges of a $10 administrative fee for groups of more than 25 and a refundable cleaning deposit.

However, Hicks recommended a fee schedule which would charge local residents a "nominal" fee and non-local residents a "cost-covering" fee, described as the amount it costs the city to prepare nis 73, who died Monday in a Reno hospital. A Reno native, he was born June 12, 1907, to William and Lena Hammersmith McGinnis. McGinnis was a Reno policeman having served from May 16, 1944 to Dec. 31, 1966, working mainly in traffic. He was a member of the Reno Police Protective Association.

He and his wife, Mae, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Oct. 14, 1978. Surviving in addition to his widow are a daughter, Diane Simp-neau of Sparks; four grandchildren; one Teamsters claim Carson victory CARSON CITY The Teamsters Union has obtained the necessary majority of Carson City School District's non teaching personnel for the purpose of representing them in upcoming contract negotiations, an official of the Reno local said Monday. "We've got them," said Teamster Office Manager Jack Seaver, who explained that about 52 percent of the workers in question have signed a card authorizing Local 995 to represent them. He said the local is shooting for about 75 to 80 percent representation "which should be achieved sometime next week" after which the Teamsters will appear before the Carson School Board to make a formal request lor recognition as bargaining agent.

Seaver said the state Employee-Management Relations Board has already been told informally of the Teamsters' intention. Seaver called the union's organizing efforts in the school district "dynamite," explaining, "I've never seen this fast a reaction. We've only been talking with them three weeks and already we have better than 50 percent. He said, "They feel if the Teamsters had been there maybe they would have had a little better chance of getting more than the 7.2" percent hike they received this year. Asked how the Teamsters planned to convince a school district which has been pleading poverty to pay higher wages, Seaver said, "One of the ways Is to show them if they want to keep the high caliber of employees they have, they're going to have to be competitive in the area we live in.

And the area we live in doesn't call for 7.2. "From everything I hear," he added, "they have the money." School district officials have disputed the 7.2 percent figure, saying the increase they granted averaged more like 10.44 percent. Reached for comment, School Superlntedent Cliff Lawrence said there's a difference between employees indicating an interest in the Teamsters and actually signing up with them. He said an election would likely be held to determine if they Indeed represent a majority. parks because of vandalism.

He said under the original plans, it was estimated he would have to rent rooms for $40 to break even and "I can't rent rooms for that price." He said with design change the construction would cost "maybe under $7 million." He also said he did not think constrution would begin until the spring. In another planning matter, the council unanimously approved a special use permit Tuesday to construct a 34-bed alcoholic treatment hospital and outpatient clinic in west Sparks. Raleigh Hills Hospital, part of a national chain specializing in treating alcoholics, will be built on 2.65 acres at the southeast corner of El Rancho Drive and Orovada Street. use permit for its hotel addition, allowing 23 more rooms and a less expensive design.

The hotel, at 1040 Street, a block north of the casino fronting on Street, was to be an eight-story, 212-roorn hotel designed in a stair-step fashion so the floors moved in and away from Street as it climbed. The purpose of the stair-step design, according to the planning staff, was to decrease the shadows that would fall on the residential homes on Street. But architect Fred Dolven said the hotel would run 40 percent over projected costs using the design, making it not feasible to construct the hotel. By taking out the stair-step design and building straight up in the conventional manner, it would become a 235-room hotel for less money, he said. Community Planning Director Alex Fittinghoff recommended the council approve the changes, saying wun uuiwi ai me mountain view cemetery.
