Article 7 . Rick will present Article 13 , the $160 , 000 request to
upgrade the golf course including the 5th tee and green, the 9th
tee and green, and the removal of the cottage . The committee
decided to withdraw Article 14 , the Lincoln Park Article which
included a storage building and tot lot at a cost of $50 , 000 .
This decision was made because we are requesting an additional
$40 , 000 to complete the pool repairs and upgrading the golf
course is costing $35 , 000 more than projected. Community groups
such as Youth Soccer and the School Department did not see this
project as a high priority at this time . It was felt that this
would demonstrate fiscal responsibility on the part of the
Recreation Committee .
