WINONA LAKE - Park rules and regulations will be enforced by town police with the passage of Ordinance 2004-7-1, which the town council approved Tuesday.

Anyone cited for unlawful activities will be subject to a $50 fine. Unlawful activities include parking a trailer in the parking lot on park property, bringing a dog to the park, remaining in the park between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. after being asked to leave, bringing alcoholic beverages to the park, bringing glass containers within five feet of the beach area and littering.

The council and town coordinator Craig Allebach talked about Tuesday night's meeting with CR 250E property owners. Allebach said the right-of-way process and the construction schedule would be discussed. Plans are to begin construction on the road in the spring.

Allebach said residents living on the south end of Park Avenue will be advised about road closings and inconveniences while construction continues.

The 2005 budget was reviewed, showing a 3 percent increase in wages for all employees, excepting council members, whose wages show a 6 percent increase. The central services budget decreased 2.9 percent from 2003, totaling $667,891.

The police department budget increased 2.4 percent, totaling $253,465. The fire department budget was up 7 percent, to $52,090. The park department budget increased 2 percent, to $21,435. The motor, vehicle highway budget increased 4.5 percent, totaling $587,932.

A public hearing for the preliminary budget is set for the Aug. 24 7 a.m. meeting. Adoption of the budget will be Sept. 14 at the 6 p.m. meeting.

The board also:

• Approved purchase of a salt spreader for $5,805.

• Authorized Allebach or clerk-treasurer Retha Hicks to approve milling of streets as the contractor asks. Plans are for Poplar, 14th and 15th streets to be milled as King's Highway work continues.

• Heard that town events Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 3 p.m. are performances of "Rumpelstiltskin" by Missoula Children's Theatre in Rodeheaver Auditorium, and Aug. 21 as the Antique Car Show and Cruise.
