SILVER VIEW PARK
PICNIC SHELTER (CONT'D) The Commission discussed using Park Improvement
Funds for such a project (estimated at $33,000).
However, the Commissioners decided to bring a
request to the City Council for the funding of such
utilities from other sources so that the Park
Improvement monies could be spent on other park
improvements. The Commission agreed to attend the
City Council agenda meeting on June 5 to discuss
options for funding Silver View Park utilities.
