Dear Mr. Dobbs;

As the time draws nearer for the next zoning hearing in July on the
Browntown public housing, it is worthwhile at this point to determine the
progress which the City has made in improving community facilities in the
N. W. Perry Homes area, This letter lists specific improvements designated
for this year by the Parks and Construction Departments.

The various improvements include;

Parks

1) Development of Gun Club Park

This includes $200,000 from the Parks Improvement Fund for the
construction of a recreation building, bathhouse, and swimming pool
at the Gun Club Park site.

2) Redevelopment of Center Hill Park

$40,000 has been allocated from the Parks Department's State Aide funds
for the general redevelopment of Center Hill Park. The improvements
will include: site preparation and drainage, driveway and parking
spaces, paved court area, a children's area, and the relighting of the
existing ball field,

Sewers
3) Expansion of Hollywood Road Lift Station

This expansion will allow for increased population development along
Proctor Creek.

4) Bellwood Sanitary Relief Sewer

This project includes the construction of a sanitary outfall sewer from
Ashby to Proctor Creek to relieve the existing overload of the Bellwood
Sanitary sewer.

Regarding the school situation, as of this date the Board of Education
has made no plans for a spring bond issue, From what I can gather they-are
expecting some bond money to be generated by the state legislature in
November. Of course, the expansion of Archer High School is a first priority
item as soon as the bond money is acquired by the School Department,

As you probably know, I am working with the N. W. Perry Homes
Neighborhood Center on improvements in the scheduling and routing of buses.

If there are any other matters which you feel deserve our attention, please
let me know.

Sincerely yours,

Peter Labrie
