Trustee Becker: Question for Glenn Swanson: Doesn’t it make sense to take a closer look at Mayor Amrich’s plan that would require one intersection instead of three? As a budget item, consider the addition of two benches at some of the parks. Trustee Doehler: We are asking scouts to make some benches as a project.
