The Capital Out1 ay i tems were reviewed and discussed as follows: Item (a) Headquarters Building Allocation of $5,000 has been set aside for installat of the curb and gutter on El Cami no Real after the road widening, the renovation of the buildin , including planter boxes and carpeting and drapes for the office.
