PIONEER PARK: Public Works Director McFrederick stated Hunter is almost done with the survey of the park, except by the corner of the pool. Once Rhonda Wemhoff gets that then she can have plans.

Mager meets with Rhonda on Wednesday. When the committee met, they decided the City will get as complete as they can before the band shell group starts in. As the City gets more information, the City will decide if we will apply for grants.
