Mr. Pruitt was questioned regarding the reasons the entire Comprehensive

Development Office would not approve funds to cover the entire Comprehensive
Plan in this fiscal year and he further felt now that the entire job required
more than a year to do properly in view of his experience in attempting to
complete the Foley plan in one year. It is now understood by the
Commission that the additional segments of the plan will be contracted for

members as enhancing the residential neighborhood and preserving a '
drainage - park area. `_'
