DEPARTMENTAL REPORT:
Bids for the softball project should open in June. The Skate Park is being
advertised and hopefully we can begin phase I in June. We are working with a
company called Grindline located in Seattle.
All the summer flowers have been planted. We have some new species that were
taken from our test flower bed located by the Central Services Park Maintenance
building.
We have reached a plateau with planting new trees and are now at a stage of
mostly planting replacement trees.
Summer programs start next week and all camps but Fit `n Fun are full.
The City's web site is looking good. We would like to have the board members
check out the web site and let us know if we can improve it
Peg Marquardt wanted to know if there is a list of the different plants that the Parks
Department puts in the flower beds through out the City on the web site.
Jack Murphy stated that at this time we don't have that complete list on the web
site, but Benny Butler is working on it.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Appointment of ad hoc committee for park improvement.
Mary Ward e- mailed Gene Strouth and asked him if he would chair this
