Specifications for the New Park Toilets were revised and booklets handed out. Looking over the site plans, floor plan and estimated costs a question was asked as to the size of the toilets. Could the storage area be reduced and the facilities be enlarged for more than one toilet? A great job was done, giving all the specifics for this project. A motion was made/seconded and unanimously approved to proceed applying for grants and to go forward with this project.
