was to initiate a public hearing to consider possible amendments
to the Urban Renewal Plan. A schedule will be prepared as soon
as possible. Mayor Dannels stated the cost of maintenance for

services and a review of the Plan is necessitated at this time.

mately 80% of the rock setting has been completed. Few "change
orders" have been issued.
