facilities. The citizens of Louisville <br />realize that this will be a major financial <br />undertaking. We are asking the City Council <br />to explore all the options that are available <br />that would make this acquisition a reality <br />for the Louisville community. <br />Tom Mayor, 580 Wildrose, is in support of <br />this park. The west side of Louisville is in <br />need of a large park facility and felt this <br />area would serve this interest well. Another <br />concern that I have is the number of residen- <br />tial units that are being proposed for this <br />area. I think we should slow down in terms <br />of residential build out. I would hope the <br />council would look towards spending their <br />money wisely and focus the city's resources <br />on this park. <br />Greg McArthur, 622 W. Pine, is interested in <br />seeing some of the area preserved as a natu- <br />ral habitat for the animals and birds. <br />James Manza, 1135 Franklin Ave, has seen this <br />town grow rapidly. There are fewer and fewer <br />places for us to enjoy the open spaces. Once <br />the land is built on and there are houses our <br />choices are gone. Please take your time and <br />make a wise decision on this area. We do <br />need more parks so that our families can <br />enjoy themselves. <br />Jill Perry, 574 W. Ash - does not oppose this <br />park, but would like to see the money put <br />into a plan and decide what is important to <br />the whole city not just a certain area. I <br />would rather see the money put into develop- <br />ing the area around the recreation center <br />rather than this area. <br />Howard stated that since there is such a <br />great interest by the citizens of Louisville, <br />I feel there should be a work session with <br />staff, council, the people and Mc5tain. I <br />would like staff to give a presentation on <br />the funding available. This way we can all <br />find out what is available, how we can get <br />money, what it is going to cost the citizens. <br />Hornbostel stated that she liked the idea <br />that the other parts of town are represented. <br />Maybe we should look into parks policies at <br />this time. I would like to see this maybe <br />happen at the work session. <br />4 <br />
