She then said that the Parks & Recreation Commission has 39 <br />identified a need and this seems a logical location for the soccer fields. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Mayor Marty indicated that sodding allows for use of the fields sooner than seeding does for the 42 <br />soccer fields. However, seeding resulted in a significant cost savings which he concurred with. 43 <br />He then asked if this park would be usable at all this summer. 44 <br /> 45
