However, there will continue to be space <br />needs issues relative to the equipment storage and employment base as our population <br />contimtes to grow. Staff feels that the Public Works Department should continue to <br />l'ollow the same path that was initiated last year by providing solutions to these issues <br />that can be transferred to our "permanent" site.
