Chairman Ward Fischer assumed the chair at this time and proceeded with the
setting of schedule of meetings for the discussion of the Windy Gap Project.
The Chairman reported that one of the things the Board needed to do was pick
a date to meet with the City Council to talk about the project. When the
Board had last met, the Chairman was instructed to contact the Mayor to set
up a meeting. The suggested date was as July 23, 1974. The Board also
needed to set a date at which the Board will meet to talk about the recom-
mendations to be made to the City Council at the July 23, 1974 joint meeting.
It was the consensus of the Board to cancel the regular meeting of July 12,
1974 and set a special meeting of the Board for July 19, 1974 at 1:30 P.M.
in the City Council Chamber.
The Chairman will submit to the Secretary such pertinent information that
is available prior to the meeting and she will distribute the same to the
Board members in advance.
Board member James Waltz stated he would like to have a specialist in dams
called in for a one day review of the costs involved in the building or
enlargement of Joe Wright. Chairman Fischer suggested Mr. Waltz work with
the Director of Public Works on this item
