Thuesen agreed and believed that the Police 5 already patrol those areas, but it would be a positive way to review current and future procedures. 6 It was decided to post the signs that Mr. Hartman had made up and presented and if further issues 7 needed to be added, they could be added to the signs at that time. 8 Jindra mentioned that she had been in contact with a company that would come to the City and 9 plan a type of grand opening and have prizes and hoopla for the new skateboard park.
