Report from Grant Committee
?„?? Neighborhood Plan Committee have started the process of requesting a reconsideration of our proposal. A letter to the city is being drafted to point out how important this concept is to our neighborhood.
Points of interest were drafted by Don Slack as discussed at the steering committee meeting and a copy is being given to all in attendance.
