    Administrator DeGrave – This issue will be put on the Agenda for the October 9th meeting.

    Doris Spoo, 1373 Oriole Court – It’s been a park since 1962. Why would it not continue as a park?

    Administrator DeGrave – It is a question of ownership. The liability for the Town requires that we evaluate the equipment that is already present. We will also need the Park Commission to accept it.
