The board members would come from the area and serve for 2 or 3 years and later on after the recreation recre-ation district got going they would elect the board.

Mayor Leonard Heeney said that if you work on local agreements that the task force will get community commu-nity support 'The task force will not pass if you give it taxing power," pow-er," said Mayor Heeney.
