The Rush Lake area was discussed at the meeting and <br />it was indicated by those attending that a final decision had been <br />made concerning county purchase of property in the Rush Lake area. <br />This decision excluded the purchase of Rush Lake itself. She felt <br />that in the course of the Board's discussion of this matter that it was <br />not a final decision but merely an input of the moment and that further <br />discussion would be held when the county presented concrete proposals. <br />The Board requested that the council be informed that its previous <br />recommendation concerning the county's involvement in the Rush Lake <br />area was only a preliminary recommendation ar~d that they hoped that <br />the opportunity was available to discuss this issue in more detail. <br />Department Report <br />1.
