These <br /> recommendations can be reviewed with Gappa and then reviewed with the Commission at <br /> the following meeting. <br /> Welles questioned whether a member of the Commission should also maintain records <br /> along with Gappa on the parks.

Gappa suggested including <br /> any information he has received from Commissioners in the next packet. <br /> Welles asked Gappa to maintain specific files for each park. Gappa said he could have <br /> that done. Ilse indicated that information on parks could easily be lost if this was not <br /> done. <br /> 1 <br />
