Mr. Trent indicated that the West Charleston and Westside areas were greatly lacking in such facilities. Thereafter Commissioner Bunker moved the City proceed with plans to purchase the property located on the southwest corner of 2nd and Mesquite Streets; and further that $50,000.00 be earmarked for recreational facilities for the West Charleston and Westside areas.
