trac~". They were given information and told to bring plans for approval.
A Planning Commission for the Town of Owasso has been discussed for some time and a special
meeting has been held with Mr. Breeden discussing purposes and costs. Our Town would pay
one-third with a Federal Grant of two-thirds of the costs. The-money must be appropriated
from the General Fund which is short for such purposes and would have to be transferred
from other accounts. The program must have a director other than an elected Citp Officer.

$3,498.00 for this purpose. Ayes: Groth, Ross, Evans, Large, Henson. ~-
