6 - The Perkins Journal, Thursday, June 14, 1973
A ten-acre park, with two
regulation size baseball:kdia-
mends, picnic facilities and a
swimming pool was the sub-
Ject of the Parks and Recrea-
tion Committee meeting Mon-
day night.
On hand to assist the com-
mittee in planning the project,
were representatives from the
Central Oklahoma Economic
Development District (COEDD)
and the Oklahoma Community
Affairs Planning agency OCAP.
Carl Cummings of OCAP said
Perkins would be elegible for
government assistance in pay-
ing for a park but the committee
would have to have some form
of plan, and it would have to be
approved by the people.
"The funds would be provid-
ed by the Bureau of Outdoor Re-
creation (BOR)," he said, "The
government would put up 50
percent and the town would put
up 50 percent to pay for the
park.*'
Cummings said Perkins per-
centage of the money could be
raised through a sales tax or
bond issue, but payments for
the recreational facility would
be left with the people.
"After they (the people)ap-
proved the plan, they may want
to retire the bonds by using
money charged for admission to
the swimming pool to pay for
the maintenanc~ of the park
and pay off the bonds.*'

"But, some people may also
#ant to pay for the bonds out
of taxes and allow people to
swim there free," Cummings
added.
He said one avenue of ap-
proach to payment for the park
was to levy a one cent sales
tax.
Regardless of how it's paid
for, Cummings said the town
must have approved at least a
general plan for their park in
order to qualify for BOa aid.
To do this, the committee
should present to the public
an idea of what they envision
for the park and a cost esti-
mate, the people can vote to
approve, amend or disapprove
the plan.
Cummings said any qualified
engineer can lay out the plan,
but it would cost about seven
percent of the total project
for his time.
"If you estimate a project
costing $100,000," Cummings
said, "an engineer will charge
you seven percent of that to
draw up the
