The estimate total as listed right now is $300,000 whichi is $150,000 for the city because there is a 50% match.

There willl be 24/7 surveillance there to help withithe issues. Woodard believes 5200,000/5100,000 city would be enough to get started and since it will bet family oriented, she believes the city should noti interfere with what the other rec. department.
