Councilman Hunter's reason for voting no as he stated, he was going by the legal recommendation of the counselor. He said he was not an attorney and could not give opinions on legal matters; consequently he must rely on the comments of the counselor; and perhaps there are other avenues of pursuit. In discussion of the repairs to the Community Building, Finance Commissioner Durrance reported there are $30,000 in certificates of Deposit from the loan for the Fire Station which could be used for repairing the building. Councilman Daniels reported that the Bicentennial Committee chose as its project the com- pletion of Sunshine Park into a viable community park including the renovation and completion of the building. Hr. Bradshaw is to get together with Hr. Allen of the Bicentennial Committee to get estimates for repairs of the building and improvements to the grounds. This entire figure would be given to Councilman Daniels, and then if Council will agree to provide 50% of these funds, Councilman Daniels will go forward through the Bicentennial channels to obtain outside funds. /" ,-.. 1"""\.
