Discussion took place regarding possible alternate sites for the proposed Community
Center. Mr. Turk noted that the site west of the high school is not located near the
center of the City’s population. There are other appropriate sites out there. He
suggested that an assessment to determine the needs of the community and what the
private developer could support be done. Mr. Turk stated it could take three to four
months and would have to be done by an independent firm. There was concern
