they recommended using recycled materials, for items such as benches and <br /> tables, whenever possible. The Commission agreed, but also expressed <br /> interest in continuity among the parks. <br /> Plantings for Grove park will wait until spring, at the suggestion <br /> of Linda Treeful, the city forester. She looked at the vegetation along <br /> Coffman St. and feels that some of the trees are worth saving, but most <br /> of the trees and shrubs are not. She will be asked to make a second <br /> evaluation of which trees to protect and save. <br /> The issue of the tennis bangboard was revisited, following specific <br /> requests from two families. At this time, the Commission prefers to not <br /> install a bangboard, based on the number of complaints about the old <br /> one, the volume of opinion expressed by the community against the <br /> replacement with a new one, the potential safety issues of a large <br /> expanse of wall (especially adjacent to the hardcourt area) and the <br /> maintenance issues arising from the inevitable graffitti. However, to <br /> remain responsive to the desires of the neighborhood, the Commission is <br /> willing to reconsider the issue in the future, should the above factors <br /> change. In view of this, Carol K. will get an estimate of cost. <br /> D -3. Election of officers. Following the resignation of Carol H., <br /> Carol W. nominated Jyneen as chairperson of the Commission.

The Commission members <br /> especially enjoyed the opportunity to mingle with the guests, with the <br /> Lion's Club members offering to serve the ice cream. <br /> Some vandalism has occurred at both Curtiss Field and the Community <br /> Park. At the Community Park, the new pop machine was vandalized. It may <br /> not be replaced by the vendor. <br /> The next scheduled meeting date will conflict with a Brimhall School <br /> event, and will consequently be changed to September 20, 1993. <br /> 1 Y26:42,______ <br /> r <br /> neen Thatcher, Secretary <br /> Falcon Heights Parks and Recreation Commission. <br />
