This is because November 11 is a city holiday—Veterans'Day. <br /> Because this is a date change, the Commison meeting will become a Special Meeting,which means <br /> items cannot be added to the agenda at the meeting. We are planning to showcase the Eagle Scout <br /> projects in our parks during the past year at the November 17 Commission Special Meeting. <br /> P~/ NEIEI 11 <br /> N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2015\10-14-15 PRC Packet\Directors Report 10-14-15.docx NATURE <br />
