Minutes of the February 4, 1998 meeting were read and approved. MOTION TO APPROVE: Bob Piecuch

SECONDED BY: Al Disbro ALL APPROVED

Brent shared with the group plans the town and Grace College has for completing and restructuring the intersection at Park Ave. coming into Winona Lake from Argonne Rd. and Winona Ave.. This construction will hopefully be completed by July 4, 1998. Finish work will be done till 12th St. Grace College will be working on the parking lot at Rodeheaver so all will be blended together.

The assessment will be completed in two weeks. Factor 80%.

Discussion was held on the following priorities:

1. Buried Utilities

2. Street Lights

3. Park Avenue

4. Seawall

5. Walking and Bike Path connecting to       Warsaw's project

Buried utilities are very costly it has been preliminarily determined. Further discussions will be made with Larry Long and Brent at the next meeting. They can possibly give clearly cost projections.

We will also have assessed values to provide income projections.

It was noted we need to be certain that our priorities and projects have universal usage by Winona Lake residents for best results in the future.

Being no further business the meeting was adjourned. If an April meeting is not necessary we will be notified. If necessary the next meeting will be:

APRIL 1, 1998 at 5:30 P.M. at the Community Building.
