It was also moved to implement the discount for a period of one year at which time an evaluation would be made. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Mr. Weeks indicated the City Attorney would investigate the proposed dis- count to determine if there would be any legal constraints. Commissioner Castle voiced his concern as to allowing discounts to senior groups and not to any other groups. AGENDA ITEM 2 DISCUSSION - COMMISSION'S ROLE: COMMUNITY ACTION Comnissioner Weintraub felt this subject should be discussed by the Community and Commission Relations Committee in depth. She felt that a good project to consider would be solving the problem of students cutting through the fence at Maddux Park and crossing the drainage channel to get to Henry Ford School . Commissioner Castle inquired if they could also discuss the Hoover Pool vandalism problem. Commissioner Weintraub felt it would be better to start with one project and then work on the Hoover vandalism problem. This subject will be referred to the Community & Commission Relations Committee for further discussion and action as well as discussed further at the next commission meeting. REPORT ITEM 1 .
