Hendr±x commented that there are some petitions being circulated in favor of tt~e ~ll, but he does not know the status of these petitions. Mr. Fife co~ented that he thinks there is an importance in completing the Mall, if that is the most important thing to do, but he thinks it would be wise to pass this on to the Economic Development Group and ask them to come back with a recommendation quickly.
