28 to the number of participants. Mr. Meredith stated he has real problems
29 with the route that was selected as this Board has attempted to encourage
30 parades to start at 16th or Glen Miller Park and disband at 10th Street.
31 This route by-passes the core area and makes it easier for traffic to be
32 re-routed. Mr. Meredith asked this route be considered. Mr. Webb suggested
33 Ms. Ridmen meet with her group to try to modify the route.

42 partments and all recommend approval. Mr. Webb moved for approval, seconded
42 by Mr. Anderson and on unanimous voice vote the motion was carried.

44 Mr. Webb presented a dedication of South "A" (Cambridge Square) . He noted
45 South "A" came in as part of a planned unit development by Council Ordinance.
