. The chair commented that, maybe we should retro Burns and just upgrade the pool area
and start on the Lilac Park; will we every have enough money to really renovate Bums.
. Tory commented- we signed an agreement with the School district to give them
property to build a baseball field, lease agreement, and we would have approved the site
plans for the baseball fields; how is it possible to build a baseball field away from

check with the School District for funding these facilities, if possible.
