PROGRI,SS REPORTS <br />(1) Update on Coveleski Park Plan <br />Mr. Inks noted that at previous meetings the <br />Commission has had some concern about whether <br />the property we are acquiring will fit with the plan <br />we are establishing for the Coveleski Park area. <br />Mr. Schalliol will make a presentation on the plan <br />as a reference for future action. <br />Mr. Schalliol noted that there has been a lot of <br />progress in Coveleski Park over the last several <br />months. Five properties have been purchased: the <br />synagogue, Cleo Washington's property on Wayne <br />and "l~aylor, Gates Chevy World, a property <br />donation on Jefferson, and the I Ienderson property <br />on William St. He showed a graphic of the <br />properties the Commission currently owns and <br />would like to still acquire in the planning area. <br />I~he Board of Public Works opened bids for the <br />demolition of Gates on Monday and awarded a bid <br />iu the amount of $649,000.
