CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
Michael Davis commended staff for the manner in which Bond Park is
maintained.
Michael Davis observed that although the City has obtained parkland
on McDowell for a child care provider and has discussed a low cost
lease for provision of below market rate child care; this has not
been implemented.
Vice Mayor Lynn Woolsey agreed and added that there needs to be a
process for people who are interested in developing low cost child
care. She asked. that this be on an agenda in the near future.
Vice Mayor Woolsey expressed appreciation for Traffic Engineer
Joern Kro'11's report regarding pavement undulations (formerly known
as speed bumps). She asked that the subject be referred to the
Traffic Committee for consideration and recommendation to the City
Counci'1. Pavement undulations are a good .idea and the City should
