Bill Casey, 18720 Ebony Street NW, Bums Township, stated that previously RYAA was working fairly closely with the Public Works staff to keep on top of the Elmcrest development. Over the last couple of months he has lost touch as to where they were. The concern RYAA has is that the youth programs are growing very quickly and next fall they will be experiencing "a lot o1' pain }'or the lack of fields they have available." RYAA will be in a very difficult situation and very possibly an unworkable situation. Mr. Bums questioned where the City was at with regard to the development and will there be parking and a road access by next fall. Mayor Gamec replied that it is their intention to have those things in place, but there are some details that have to be worked out.
