Council Report <br />Council Representative Williams was absent. Anderson said <br />the Council generally supported Veterans Plan but weren't <br />willing to make a commitment to closing 3rd Ave. Residents <br />were opposed to the closing. The Council recommended a <br />study and then come back with a recommendation. <br />It was noted that the Park Board had already done that and <br />their recommendation was to close 3rd Avenue. <br />Anderson stated he had talked with Father Grieman of St. John's <br />regarding the Veterans Park issue and the closing of 3rd Ave. <br />Anderson said the Council was not comfortable with the Veterans <br />Park Plan with the other plans for downtown development, i.e. <br />the hotel and senior high rise. The Council wanted those <br />decisions made before the park decision. The Council wanted <br />the parking lot issue resolved. <br />Anderson said he received a call from Tony Bona supporting <br />the park. He submitted a letter with signatures supporting <br />the park. <br />Blomguist said she was under the impression we would go ahead <br />with the planning. <br />Anderson said the plan that the Park Board and Couniil seemed <br />to favor would be appropriate whether or not the hotel or high rise <br />went in. <br />Seward thought the planning would continue also. <br />Anderson said not-after the last Council meeting. <br />
