He suggested that Council and the Park and Rrecreation Commission consider the idea and provide some city support, such as use of city facilities, etc. City resident Nan Knutson was in attendance, and as a mother of small children, spoke in favor of the concept, as it could provide a means for adults and children to get out of the house and meet and connect with others.
