In other action Monday the council approved use of the Old Nevada City airport by the Nevada City Lions Club for a MotoCross to be held in mid-September. Joe Arens, representing the Lions Club, said the club hoped to hold a Moto-Cross BUSINESS BILLBOARD Sept. 16 and 17 but at least one of the two days. He said 10,000 people were expected to be in town and "leave many dollars." He said the Lions need funds for their playgrond equipment project at Pioneer Park and would gain revenue by charging admission to the MotoCross, The council approved use of the airport if the insurance provided meets the qualifications set by City Attorney Bill Wetherall, "I'd like to give them a chance at it," Mayor Rankin said in approving the Lions' request. Arens said they expect from 200 to 300 riders, amateurs and novices, with one race to be for girls. Mayor Rankin said "many complaints" have been received concerning the park (people's park next to Alpha Hardware) and that the police and pound men have been asked to give the area better coverage. Rankin appointed Councilman Peter Ray to work with Wetherall on an ordinance concerning conduct while on public property. The ordinance now in use in Carmel will be studied and sections which would apply locally may be used. The Carmel ordinance covers prohibitions of sleeping on public property, the use of foul language and blocking any traffic areas. A woman in the audience asked what complaints had beenreceived. The mayor said complaints concerning people blocking the sidewalks and streets adjacent to the park. The poundmen picked up a number of dogs in and around the park not ona leash and the police asked people not to block the traffic lanes, he said. Chief Jim Moon asked to be put on the same committee to draft an ordinance for Nevada City, similar to Carmel's.
