4. The City will provide adequate maintenance of facilities.
5. The recreation programs should be available to the entire community.
6. The City should provide a variety of recreation programs, both active

its recreation programs and services.
8. Park and recreation funding, by the City, is an essential part of
municipal services and should have equitable consideration with all
other municipal services.

Dear Sir,
Please accept this letter as a request from us to obtain a parcel of
land from the City located directly south of Excelsior Blvd. and to
the furtherest eastern most part as it abutts the state's buffer
zone of County Road 18. This area is designated on the enclosed plot

Excelsior Blvd. use to project straight east and with the addition of
County Road 18 the boulevard now curves left leaving an area we need
for entrance, parking, and landscaping for our facility.
Your cooperation in this matter would be appreciated.
Thank you,
