Mr. Hutsinpiller explained that the Commission had requested that some figures be acquired as to the cost of maintenance on this facility, and in analysis, it was found that it would cost approximately $370 per month for minimum maintenance, and this main- tenance would be required for 4 months of the year.

Mr..Hu.tsinpiller reported that the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation is. that the City Council approve acceptance of the lake, which has been offered by the State Highway Department, for future development and public use.
