SCHEDULE PARKS TOUR: Joanie Zeeb said that other issues
concerning parks and recreation needed to be discussed,

ofts, anything like that designated as park land. We need
to get with the Corp of Engineers regarding taking over some
of the lake parks. We need to look at other areas like
obtaining more park land.
