The County Road 110- iniprovement in Ninnetrista is scheduled for 1977, but all otter segments of the County proposal would be a minimum of 5 years away.

Pesek informed the Planning Commission that he had consulted Site Selection with Don Brandenberg from the Mound School District regarding Committee the Elizabeth Gardner School in the Navarre area. Although the building is larger than Orono needs at the present time, and the location is not central in relation to the area that the Police Department would have to serve, Mr. Pesek felt that it was worth further consideration. Commissioner Gasch suggested that we talk with Fred Poisson, former Chairman fof the PIannigg Commission, and ask him to review the existing City property to see if facilities that we would need couldn't feasibly be placed on the property that we presently own. Commissioner Kullberg presented the findings of the committee to Committee to Select the PLanning Commission. The committee's recommendation was that a Planning Commissior, John Guthrie be selected as the next Chairman of the Planning Chairman Commission. The item was to be placed on the June Planning Com- mission agenda at which time any additional nominations could be made and a vote will be taken.
