Members of the Council ar-eed that a location for a
Youti Center did not seem to be the reason why other

the Golden Valley Golf Club might also be available.

carried that the Administrative Assistant be instructed
to formally request the Golden Valley Chamber of Commerce

a center. The Council agreed to meet with the Chamber of
Conmerce at any time if the officers of t'�e Chamber deemed
