to the plans.
The intent of the pro�ect is to foliaw the intended use of
the park as designed many years ago. We merely wi:sh to
redesign �ome of the areas and improve their availability for
use.
There are ' no other agencies invalved in this progosal at this
time. The Jaycees, Lions, American Legion, VFW, and other
organiza�ions will. be asked to became involved as we plan
ahead for further improvements.
One of those future improvements will be to put a "memorial"
into this area of the park land. It would either be in the
central area next to city hall or in the area on the higher
elevation on the south westerly portion next to Highway #3.
