The council debated an ordinance aiming for an 18 percent minimum return on investment, with Fricke noting it could not fall below that rate and that annual profit and loss statements and quadrennial audits would accompany the investment. The parks board proposed a Brook Hollow subdivision lot for a new park, with safety plans to be developed. Entitlement VI revenue sharing of 147512 was earmarked for multi-purpose and general projects, needing Treasury submission by June 24, with public hearings to adjust the budget.
