He referred to the letter of resignation from <br /> Johnston . He stated anyone willing to dedicate time to the City <br /> should not feel the frustration felt by Johnston and hoped that <br /> feeling was not prevalent among the other Commission members. He <br /> pointed out several issues from the letter: <br /> 1 . No funding for the comprehensive park plan . He <br /> explained that the City has been involved with an <br /> extensive sewer project in an area where people cannot <br /> afford the assessment and the Council felt it important <br /> to help those residents. <br /> 4 <br />
