The last order of business was the color and type of benches, trash
receptacles and picnic tables to be used throughout the City.
The Recreation Director presented the Board with pictures and samples
of benches, trash receptacles and picnic tables.
Patricia recommended using recyclable material in wet areas as well
as areas of high use. It was said that everything needs to be uniform.
Patricia disagreed with that philosophy, because she would not support
all of the Parks looking alike. Therefore, Patricia made a motion to
use recyclable material in wet areas as well as areas of high use.
Scott seconded and the motion carried.
The Board lost quorum therefore the"meeting adjourned.
