Discussing who is going to take part of the yards at the park. its Professional Outdoor Solutions and Spring Green.

Professional Outdoor Solutions is reading a letter they submitted detailing their plans. Spring Green also provided their plan. There will be a committee meeting in the future about it. Outdoor Solutions is talking about how the soccer field at Woodard needs irrigation if they plant grass seed.

Rail trail meeting with Tami, Mayor of Danville and Urbana. Discussing the bridge that will go on it eventually.
