Re: Park & Recreation Update
I won't be able to be at the meeting.tonight so I am
providing this written update. Please approve the Park
& Recreation Commission minutes for June 13, 2001.
Park & Trail Plan - The Park & Trail Plan is scheduled
for public hearing before the Planning Commission on
Monday, August 20, 2001. The Planning Commission will
take comments, discuss the plan, and then make a
recommendation to the Council. The plan becomes
official upon Council approval.
Picnic Tables - There is a large backlog at the
manufacturer and our picnic tables won't be delivered
until some time in September.
New Trees in Prairie Park - The smaller trees in
Prairie Park have been watered by Dennis McAlpine of
McAlpine Well Drilling. Denny says that a handful of
trees that are planted on slopes could use some edging
or something around the trees to create a "moat" affect
because he's afraid a lot of the water is running off
and not reaching them. Please let me know if any of
you are interested in tackling this project. The City
would pay for all materials.
