He stated <br />that Urkula realized that this area is different in that sports are <br />handled through small associations rather than cities or schools. <br />Urkula realIzed that demographicswere not available for review and <br />offered to contract with the surrounding cities to provide them <br />with the demographics of the area. Johnston felt that It was a <br />good Idea to research the demographics of the area, but felt it <br />could be done through a volunteer effort of all cities. <br />Vongries reported that bike trails were also discussed, and it was <br />determined that each individual Commission is establishing bike <br />trails within their cities which are not connecting outside the <br />city limits as the projects are not being coordinated with <br />surrounding cities. <br />Johnston noted meetings will be held four times a year with each <br />city sending at least one representative to the meetings. <br />Bradley stated that It has been a fight to get the school to assume <br />responsibility for this project. <br />Vongries stated that the development of the hockey/balI field site <br />was dependent upon the passage of a bond referendum. <br />10
