portion of this tract develops

Highway Department and City Staff when the respective highways are

Request to Appear from City of Allen
Swim Team (COAST) Regarding Enclosing
Ford Pool (Agenda Item 1X)
Mr Ken Main, spokesperson of the Parents Auxiliary for COAST, spoke
before the Council regarding the need for a year round facility in Allen. Mr Main
requested to petition individuals at the Allen Country Fair to see if there is an
interest among the citizens for such a facility A copy of this "petition" was
passed to Mayor Farmer who in turn, read it to the Council.
Discussion was held regarding the wording of the document. It is the desire
of the COAST delegation to get feedback of the citizens in Allen rather than an
actual petitioning process. Since this was the meaning of the term, all agreed that
it would be agreeable to the Council if the item was documented as a public opinion
poll and further, that Rhoda Savage, Parks and Recreation Director, work with
COAST representatives, as appropriate, to retrieve proper feedback from the
community
