establish and maintain a rose garden in Cupertino. The director of Parks and Recreation and the director
of Public Works will set up a meeting with the group to get an understanding of the proposal.
Commissioners felt that the Senior Center would be a good location for a rose garden, however, if there
was a political motive behind this or if it had symbolism to one group then the city should not
participate.
