Doherty highlighted the incongruity at the May 4 City Commission meeting. The land east of the auditorium features a walking trail, a sunset hill and benches. West of the auditorium, there’s a pond surrounded by landscaping and wildlife. In the middle of it all sat a fenced-in area used to house vehicles and industrial equipment.
