Staff Report Recreation Update-Abernathy reported that summer registrations have been coming in quite steadily. At this time there are no classes that are full. Abernathy also reported that the Walking Club is getting off to a good start. There are about 18 people signed up and Melanie the City's Office Assistant will be getting the member calendar set up shortly for organized walks to begin. Open Gym is now done for the season. Overall turn out was good. Attendance averaged out to be 12-15 participants each time. Public Works Update- Pittman informed the Commission that the new grills for Curtiss Field and Grove Park have arrived and will be put in shortly. Pittman also gave an update on projects that will be going on this spring at Community Park. They will be aerating the field area and laying down some granular fertilizer as well as digging a water line from the park shelter to the community garden. At this time a hose is needed to be dragged to the garden each time and for some plot owners this is very inconvenient or difficult so a new water line will bring water directly to the garden for easier access. Pittman said this project will not disturb any programs in the park. 4. Fall Event Abernathy reminded the Commission of the goal setting meeting and the discussion of adding a fall event of some type to the line up of special events the city puts on. Abernathy brought up the idea of a bike rodeo/safety event much like what has been done in the past with help from the Falcon Heights
