Clerk of Council has received a copy. Am sending copy to the Planning Commission and the Recreation Commmission for their comments if they so choose. Hopefully if they have really speeded this up thinks a lot of this is due to the pressure that has been put on through the papers, Congressman Mottl's office, and although it was reported it would be on time - it definitely will be later but perhaps could be under contract maybe this year.
