When the Two Rivers Activity Center is built, commissioners will also get free use of that facility for as long as they serve on the commission.<\/p>\n<p>Also at Monday\u2019s meeting, Landscoot and Vice Chairman Ron Olson said the commission will be holding more special meetings related to approvals needed for TRAC.<\/p>\n<p>Hogan said he had received a letter from a disability rights advocacy group that most of Jamestown Parks and Recreation bathrooms were not accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act.<\/p>\n<p>Hogan said contractor David Hillerud looked at each bathroom in all of the Parks and Recreation facilities. Hillerud\u2019s estimate was $30,000 to $40,000 to make changes at seven bathroom facilities. Hogan said he would research into what grants are available to cover an expense like this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Parkboard has given themselves a raise, approved on a 3-2, with members Larry Knoblich and Mark Ukestad opposed.
