Discussion was had.on bike paths. Trustee Gavin reported she had attended a
meeting on the subject, but Deerfield was not included on any plan. The goal is to
tie all North Shore communities into an overall plan. Federal funding is available
fa= what is hoped to be a pioneering project. All that needs to be shown is that in
x number of years Deerfield's bike paths will feed into.a larger plan. There. is a
"Ibw to Do It Yourself kit" which would provide guidance to the engineering department
or an interested Trustee in the preparation of a report, but the information must
be gathered quickly. Trustee Blumenthal stated he would hate to see the engineering
department tied up on the project, and suggested that an organization or interested
high school students do it as a school project. Trustee Gavin she felt the Board
should go ahead as quickly as possible.

Trustee Swanson the meeting was adjourned at 9 :40 p.m.
