Capital improvements are needed to the maintenance and <br /> recreation facilities of Forest Park, Silver Lake Park, Kasch <br /> Park, Walter Hall Park, and a proposed park on Smith Island. <br /> The best interests of the inhabitants of the City require <br /> the City to carry out the plans hereinafter provided at the time <br /> or times and in the order and in the manner deemed most necessary <br /> and advisable by the Council. <br /> Section 2 .
