NEW BUSINESS: Goals and Obj ectives for the board. 1VIr. Thompson indicated that he had heard second hand that the City was moving toward having the Senior Center at the old Library site. It is supposedly a dead issue. The seniors don't want to move, period.

Mr. Raig commented that he had a piece by
