The one recommendation that we feel <br />must be changed is the teacher, staff and visitor parking. The Board of Education is <br />requesting an increase from 80 to 150 pazking spaces. The reasons are detailed in the <br />action item. <br />We look forward to the County Commissioners' consideration of this matter, <br />
