Motion Carried. <br />II. Skate Park Discussion <br />Brady Peterson and Eric Romey addressed the commission on the need for a skate park <br />in Hugo. With working parents and no transportation, this age group is in need of <br />something to do or a place to go. They provided a petition with signatures and <br />conducted surveys with other youths in the community and felt a consistent amount of <br />support for a skate park. <br />The Commission thanked them for bringing the issue to their attention and all agreed <br />that more activities are necessary. Further discussions on a skate park will be had with <br />the discussion on Lions Park. <br />
