1~ ...one beach here is enough for anybody. And then our taxes are gonna go up sky high. And how'reyou gonna maneuver all this stuff, who's gonna patrol all this stuff that you're gonna have. You're gonna have all the riff Taff from N.E. Mpls. and all ... Laughter I'm not lying. We used to have six in the winter and all the riff raff from N.E. Mpls. came ou and hey had to put them all in jail Laughter and that's what they'll ~~ up there. Laughter and applause. ~'S Thank you . Any. further comments . Yes sir . My name is Michael Gray and I live at 1501 17th ~treet N.W. I have a question um the Concept Plna does not mention the maintenance of .the facility after the original development. Ah, who is responsible for maintaining that facility for a long period of time for these and where does that funding come from?

Why not a public-park I dream of quite another type, dedicated to meeting the future security of our people which in the end spells peace and happiness for all.

We have acreage which is unique in its natural and ecological advantages, and which ought to be treasured. We should capitalize nn this uniqueness and not be selfish in causing their destruction. Why not set up among those rolling hills and marshes, I dream along, research centers for the development of ecological studies. For example, set up working models for all to see and come and experience of the most light efficient, solar green house as well as solar energy application for home hea in , and other power needs.
