like to see an indoor soccer field as part of the community center project as well as upgrading the
pool to include more water features. Ruby Robles, who works at the Boy's and Girl's Club,

community. City Administrator Derickson stated that the goal is to have a concept, a design and
a location with the due diligence done that could then be put in front of the voters for potential
