As some of you know this project had been under consideration for a number of years. It was finally brought to fruition only by your sustained commitment through two annual budgets. We are doubly grateful for that commitment since we understand something of the other financial pressures on the City at this time. The carpet should provide an improvement in sound control, appearance, comfort, and maintenance costs.for many years to come. We would also like to express our appreciation to George Smith, Leo Olney, and the members of the Parks and Recreation and Public Works Departments who.worked to see that the acquisition'and`installa- tion process went smoothly. I would like to close by inviting any Councilmen who.have not yet had an opportunity to see the carpet to stop in for an inspection tour. We believe you will all -be pleased with what you see.
