22 B. A letter from Randy Kirk, director of Hayes Regional Arboretum, was read by Grimes. Kirk asked
23 that a new city limit sign be placed on Hayes Arboretum Road hoping that it might curb the hunting
24 activity that is taking place along the railroad track. He said hunters may not be aware that the area is
