COMMUNITY PARKS

on completing design work. Other approved projects at existing parks will proceed
as soon as possible. $3 million in bonds is to be approved on May 19th. A con-
siderable amount of work should be done in 1982. Hopefully, ballfields at
Rolland Moore Park will be ready for use in 1983. It was suggested that at the

complex. Awaiting word from City Manager on whether to proceed.

be honored.

1 to 2 weeks. Progress on horse trail has been slow due to other priorities.

assistance.
