Additional parking is shown in upper right /northeast area where the
administration building is located on the first plan. The additional

b. Grant School Sign: Carl communicated that the old Grant School sign is in a
neighborhood side yard and is in 12 pieces. Carl showed pictures of the sign as it
is now. The resident who is storing the broken sign in her yard was thinking of
applying for a neighborhood grant of up to $19,000. But, if the sign is ever
repaired what would we do with it? Randy noted that it could be placed at one of
the Grant School Park's corners. Tom Armstrong noted that the city would have
to match the grant funding. And, it was noted that we are not sure that all the
pieces were saved or are in a condition to be used in repair of sign. It was also
noted an artist could use the pieces to create something in remembrance of the
school.
