He indicated that this site offered a lot of opportunities <br />but was expensive. <br /> <br />Councilmember Schuldt questioned whether the E & 0 Tool site, which the <br />Ci ty is currently in the process of negotiating for, would be an <br />appropriate spot and large enough to accommodate the community center. <br />
