Wood Lake Naturalist Rodgers talked about the Grit Freedom all-terrain wheelchair and said that staff is hoping to purchase two of them to be
used by Wood Lake visitors.
Honoring All Veterans Memorial
Lesley Farnham, HAVM Board Member, talked about the origin of the Memorial and invited members of the CSC to get involved and attend a
the board meetings.
Community Center Feasibility
Markle said that the American Legion on Portland Avenue is selling their property and Council Members asked for a study to determine the
feasibility of the land being purchased by the City for the construction of a community center. Markle said that research was done to determine
the feasibility and it was determined that the cost of the construction and operation of a community center would be prohibitive for the City at
this time. She said that she presented the findings to the City Council and the group discussed the needs that would be met by a new
community center. Markle said that some of the needs may be met in conjunction with the construction of a new nature center building at
Wood Lake.
