TUESDAY DAILY REPORT

LIGHT RAIN THIS MORING.
CLOUDY AND COOL TODAY, WITH HIGH OF 52.
SCHOOL SPORTING EVENTS WERE CANCELLED.

TOMORROW, CHANCE OF RAIN AND HIGH OF 56.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING LAST NIGHT.    CHUCK CURRENT, SPEAKING
FOR THE CHAMBER, GAVE A PRESENTATION ON PLANS FOR THE
GREEN SPACE DOWNTOWN.    THEY WANT TO MAKE IT NICE, BUT
NOT SO NICE THAT A PROSPECT FOR A BUSINESS ON THE LAND
MIGHT NOT WANT TO APPROACH THE CITY FOR FEAR  THEIR PLAN
TO DO AWAY WITH THE LITTLE PARK WOULD NOT BE POPULAR TO
CITIZENS.   PLANNED IS A STAGE AND CURRENT WANTED TO KNOW
WHERE THE CITY WOULD LIKE IT TO BE PUT AND COUNCILMEN DECIDED
ALONG THE NORTH SIDE WITH A SETBACK FROM THE "SMILES ON MAIN" BUILDING.    PLANNED IS TWO FLATBED TRAILERS, WITH SKIRTING.
PLUS OTHER THINGS ARE PLANNED, COSTING NEARLY $100,000.
FUNDING BY GRANTS AND FUND RAISING LOCALLY.    MEANWHILE,
THE CHRISTMAS TREE (UNDECORATED) STILL STANDS IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE GREENSPACE.
