growth which is moving south. He indicated Dauer Implement is a mile and a
half further out without city services, though city services would be a

reaffirm its obligation of $50,000 in city funds for the project, and that staff
be directed to pursue this project indicating that there is no safe place in
Salina to practice. She encouraged the Commission to work with the state on
