7. E: GRESS REPORTS (Cont'd) Commissioner Wiggins wanted to raise one question: "In terms of mechanical" what about the rocks that'are currently loose from the Epoxy and the rest of it, is that mechanical? Mr. Oesterling re- lied, "No, that is under the three -year guarantee." Commissioner Chenney asked if those are the black rocks they are speaking of? Commissioner Wiggi.ns requested if he would "change the 'black' to 'gray' - a kind of ''wash -out gray' a't`that`."

Plans for Building Additional Plaza between Jefferson and W shington Streets, R -66: T is item, by consent, was placed as the last item of the meeting to allow p blic input. This was discussed in the Commission meeting of May 9, under Item 5a, at length, with the motion made and carried that this item be placed oi the Agenda for the May 23rd meeting for public discussion and hearing.
