be installed after the tree and planting beds are installed. Park benches, trash receptacles and the gazebo will be installed after Labor Day. Davy met with Carol Kriegler to discuss signage at Curtiss Field. Carol is currently working on some designs. The plan is for three signs to be placed around the park. One sign would be on the south-west corner of the park. Long suggested the sign be placed close to Snelling Ave. so that it is visible from the street. A second sign would be placed on the north-west corner of the park near the gazebo. The third sign would be placed at the entrance to the park on W. Iowa Avenue. When meeting with Carol Kriegler, Heather Worthington mentioned to her the idea of coming up with an additional city logo that would be more of a cartoon-type character. Kriegler suggested we contact Jim Rickard of J. Rickard Designs. The character would be used on various flyers. Dolan and Long both agreed that the new logo should not replace the old logo on letterhead, but should be used mainly by the parks & recreation department. 2.

There were sixteen children registered between the ages of 6 - 12. Babysitter training begins this week for children ages 11 - 15. Five people are registered for the class which is taught by a Red Cross Instructor. Evans inquired about the parking situation for the Fair on the SE corner because of the construction. Long thought that more alternative parking would be found North of the corner. Dolan asked when Fair signs would be placed throughout the City. Davy heard maintenance discussing the signs during the week and thought they would begin putting them up next week. Meeting ended at 7:30 p.m. Minutes respectfully submitted by Ann Davy.
