After a review by the staff, it was their recommendation that the lease not be extended. Mr. Joseph L. Green, Judge A~vocate of Post No. 434, stated improvements to the Legion Hall are contemplated which is the reason for the requested extension, and urged the Council to grant the extension. It was moved by Councilman McAllister, seconded by Councilman Scott, and carried that in view of the fact that there are six years remaining in the existing lease, and in view of the fact that a Master Plan of park development and use will not be completed for at least another year, the Council defer any further consid- eration of this request until such time as the lease is much closer to its termi- nation, and that the staff work with Legion representatives, the Parks and Recrea- tion Cormmission end,staff, and perhaps other veteran groups in an attempt to solve the matter.
