Sunset Oaks The Council has asked the Park Board to determine what equipment would be needed in the first tot lot to be included In the Sunset Oaks Plat.

In further reviewing the plat the members could not determine the location of the ,`free parks. Mrs. Liljedahl moved to have the Clerk write to the developer and ask him to define the designated park areas that will be the two tot lots and the one park area for ballfields.
