a Letter of Intent at a Special meeting related to the Tustin High

approval process is expected to take six years.

order to expedite things.

Asked the Commissioners if they would like the next meeting to
include a mini-tour of the construction taking place around the City.

nice presentation by the City staff; it was another good year for the
City; it was nice to hear the City of Tustin has preserved and
continues to maintain the 15 percent reserve.
Thanked the planners for this evening's reports.
Stated the Chili Cook-Off was a huge success and is growing every
year; the Parks and Recreation Department deserves to be
commended for the support they provided for this event.

word.
