rpguards to having possible funds from the statev Mr.
Pappas stated that the impressjon he got was s1im to none.
there was some misunderstanding that the lost thing that was
funded was in a phase and all we had to do was reapply and
get the rest of the phases; which is not the case. lhere is
money available and what the state like to dn is use the
money nn a matching bases so it would go further . Where
they like to use it in where there is a Near cut example,
they are providing new park areas. With a1 ] t|/a1 in x/iod ,
it seemed like the best time for us to try and get funding
is when we received the 200 acre park below the dam. In the
states m"id that would be bringing on a new park o+ a
different type. With the three big items that we would like
Lo put at the Community park it would be best to handle H.
by a bond issue.
Mr. Windham stated that the new park signs +or Stone Road
are io and at this point we are waiting �o, |1/e bIe0k aw�y
poles that the state requires to put them up.
