Seals stated <br />the next step is developing the mini master plan. <br />Printup noted Bracketts Point used to be called Starvation Point 100 years ago. <br />Dankey wished everyone a happy Thanksgiving. <br />Crosby thanked the veterans and their families for their sacrifices. <br />Walsh stated he would echo Council Members Dankey's and Crosby's comments. <br />Walsh noted the Park Commission will be bringing a number of items before the City Council in the near <br />future and that the City will continue to improve the parks. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />22.
