COUNCIL AGENDA ONLINE ~ The agenda for the November 16 City Council meeting is now online. You can see it here: http://goo.gl/t8ywD
One item on the agenda that caught my eye was a proposal to spend $8.3 million to make improvements to parks throughout Monrovia. I was amazed how much things cost. For example, at Canyon Park, for "Nature Center fencing and display repairs" and "Entry station exterior renovation," it would cost $150,000. Wow! However, it seems unlikely the renovations will proceed in the near future because the report indicates that: "Presently, there is insufficient funding to complete these projects...." http://goo.gl/0fYbs
