future parks in the city. He reported that NACC received the LEED Gold award. Also adaptive
recreation received a 3 year grant from the U.S. Education Department which will help hire
another staff member. Lisa is interested in traffic signals because of many close calls between

interested in either cultural or natural resources and will report on both, if she has time.
