VI. UPDATE ON RECREATION CENTER

almost "dried in" Those members who had visited the facility recently said they
felt it was progressing, but did not see how it would be ready for occupancy in
December. It was suggested that a Parks and Recreation Board tour of the facility
be scheduled soon. Mike Rippe expressed concern that adequate funding be
available for the maintenance of this facility, either through the schedule of fees,
or through the departmental budget.
