Don Jenicek feels too costly and Bayview only owns 17 acres at Bayview Park which is mostly wetlands, and opposed this venture using tax payer’s moneys, as well as not budgeted for in 2018.
Larry Nelson pretty much agreed with Don Jenicek and he felt it should be a more remote location for a Yurt. There were also several suggestions from the tax payers attending this meeting. Charly closed discussion noting there was not support at this time on the Board.
