The City of Atlantic’s Parks and Recreation Board of Directors will meet Monday evening at City Hall. Among the items on their agenda for discussion and/or possible action, is a Smoke Free/Tobacco Free Policy for Sunnyside Park. During their meeting last month, a public hearing was held with regard to the proposed policy, but the matter was tabled, in favor of obtaining more information and input from the public, as well as looking more closely at Iowa’s Smoke Free Air Act.

The Board will also hear regular updates on the Schildberg Recreation Area campground, Sunnyside Tennis Court reconstruction project, Park Maintenance building construction, and other projects. Discussion and old business includes a request from the Cub Scouts to camp overnight at the Camblin Shelter area on Sept. 7th & 8th, and information on a Bike Racks Project. The meeting in the Council’s Chambers at City Hall, begins at 5:15-p.m.
