[Vision2020] Item #3 on City Council Agenda for May 19, 2008

[cynthia nichols]

I certainly was wondering how in tarnation you can have a daycare  
without any outdoor play area. I certainly hope that no one approves   
this day care facility on those grounds alone. Maybe I'm already too  
late. But c'mon, that's a good resolution and kids need outside areas  
to play.
