DISCUSS AND CONSIDER COMMUNITY PARK - W.S.A. STORAGE
BUILDING/RESTROOMS: Scott Brown expressed his feelings
about the way in which this was handled. Bill Nelson stated
that the intentions were good, however, the steps were not
in the proper sequence. The building is a 25 X 40 with two

building and approve the change to the Community Park Master
