Councilman Reid expressed his concern regarding the total picture of the City, not just parks and recreation, stating that one of the first priorities is to re- solve the sewer problem. He further stated that while he is an ardent supporter of the Youth Sports Program, he felt it would be wrong to spend more money before all information regarding the three areas he mentioned previously is available. Councilman Herlihy stated he made his motion to bring the matter to a decision. He stated that the Youth Sports Park can be completed on a phased increment develop- ment, and that other programs in the City should receive priority consideration, and that the Council has a responsibility to look at the total needs of the commun- ityo Councilman Mori stated that while the sewer problem is crucial in our City, the expenditure of $141,000.00 for Youth Sports Park development would not affect the sewer phase out. Councilman Kinney indicated his disapproval of the action by the majority of the Council regarding funding development of the Youth Sports Park. He further stated there were pressures to phase out the sewage treatment plant, and also to meet the other needs right now, but the Council has an obligation to the community as stated by the public. Mayor Pearson stated this matter is a serious question of priorities.
