New Business:
- The lights for Long Park should be coming from the general obligation bond. There is only one project ahead of us for the funding. The county could start on the lights by fall but because the lights at Long Park were never put on the Master Plan we must go through another public hearing. This hearing will be with the Park Authority for the Master Plan to be changed.
- The Witta track now has operational funds for 2013. The improvements on the road should start before the end of the summer.
