With regard to the proposed restroom facility, he felt that the permanent complex should be provided with permanent restrooms. e Mr. Hohenshell urged the City Council to deny this request until Bethel College submits a credible and complete plan.

Mr. Pomeroy stated that the soccer fields were approximately seven feet higher than the road. Councilmember Grant asked how close the restroom facility will be to the nearest property line.
