A number of Park and Recreation Commission items were reviewed
at the 5/25 City Council meeting, and therefore, these minutes
are included as an update for the Commission.

Council approved the $500 reward for information that would
lead to the arrest and conviction for the individuals

shopping center; approve the use of staff time for work with
the Commission in updating the Master Park Plan; and agreed
that the Commission should meet on the second Wednesday of each

on these three items took place on 5/17/93.
