Ms. Brand said she would support moving the dumpsters behind lot 9, adjacent to the access road to the BMX track and Ms. Behm agreed. Ms. Brand moved, seconded by Mr. Sonnichsen, that, if the dumpsters were relocated, the CPC recommended relocating the three dumpsters beside the access road east of the (W BMX track during the Olympic Trials.
