Director Frates presented an aerial view map of Leif Hansen Memorial Park with a
recommendation for sidewalk placements. Taken into consideration were several

use the fountain concrete perimeter on which to set the memorial plaques instead of a

placement of trees, shrubs, etc. at the Park and to add these to the map.
