RE. POSSIBLE BUILDING SITES
Mrs. Rita Jensen of the Mendocino County Art Assn. enquired
whether there may be other sites preferable to the Airport
property which the Council could suggest for use in constructing
a building for the benefit of all organizations which are devoted
to development of cultural interests in the community.
The City Manager pointed out that a small triangular piece of
land is being created between the Golf Course and the main
City Park by construction of curb and gutters which may meet
the Art Association's needs, and Mrs. Jensen agreed to inspect
the site to determine whether it could be used.

facility but felt that the project would have to be initiated
by groups such as the Art Association, since there are no funds
in the City budget for this purpose.
