Myers Lake Area Measure Stymied in City Council
Thursday evening council meeting failed to approve a measure to authorize a HUD city recreation site contract.

Aqua Gardens, privately run, offers swimming boating fishing and water skiing in season. Councilors Morris and Grile opposed suspending rules for a third reading, delaying action.
