committee.

address. They were then asked to name and prioritize the three most important issues
from their list.

maintenance, golf course maintenance and improvements, improving the relationship
between the Park & Recreation Advisory Committee and the City Council, possible
designated funding for the Park& Recreation Department, and developer responsibility.
