They suggested other Commissions also do the same and if there was an interest, the Superintendent of Parks (City of San Mateo) should be contacted. Mr. Weeks indicated he would investigate further. Tank - Mezed Park T Mr. Weeks indicated that the consensus at the Design & Development Committee was to proceed with phase two construction around the tank, leaving it as is for the time being and painting it a dark olive green. Commissioner Weintraub felt the tank was inappropriate for the park.. Commissioner Rollins mentioned that after World War II the United State Government indicated that there was an abundance of war material that could be donated for historical displays. The Veterans of Foreign Wars requested that a tank be placed outside their meeting room as a constant reminder of the sacrifices of the men in the war. Their meeting room was at that time located in what is now Mezes Park and as a result, the tank is still there. Mr. Weeks indicated the tank's presence was not critical to the completion of the park. Chairman Knecht indicated that he and Commissioners Rollins and Schlesinger would investigate the future of the tank with the veteran's organization. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: There being no further business, Commissioner Weintraub moved that the meeting be adjourned, seconded by Commissioner Pound. The motion carried unanimously and the meeting was adjourned at 10:40 PM.
