you can host tournaments. Frank is very eager to see Georgetown Parks and Recreation

and raise funds to build the course. Tom Swift made a motion that the board supports in

unanimous vote.
IV. INFORMATION FROM BOARD MEMBERS AND DIRECTOR

Morrow said they were looking into it, but insurance was high because it is such a

a very dangerous sport. Tom Swift suggested looking at other cities that had in -line
skating rinks and see what they do to make theirs successful.
