3 Mr. Cowan and another member of the Planning Board, Mr. George Marks, also participated in the discussions with the latter indicating an interest in having the funds used for a small park area within walking distance from the southwest corner of the City and/or the extension of the walkway system along the main thoroughfares of the community.

The individual Councilmen then indicated which of the proposals they thought should be given priority in the use of the funds and decided it would be necessary for the Manager to supply estimated cost figures for the following so they could make their decision at their next meeting: 1. Tree Plantings 2. Remodel and furnish a room in the Civic Center for senior citizens. 3. Lavatories in Central Park. 4. Drinking fountains in all parks. 5. A housing rehabilitation program. 6. Extension of walkways. 7. "Mini park" acquisition. Mr. Fornetl also suggested using the funds for reconstruction of a portion of the City sewer and water lines and Mr. Dulgar said the City was about to receive a request for about $1,000 for remodelling a room in the new City center for a teen center.
