<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Parks & Recreation Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Bryce Shearen, Parks & Recreation/Community Services Manager <br /> <br />DATE: December 28, 2018 <br /> <br />RE: Thunder Bay & Westwinds Park Update <br /> <br />Staff met onsite with Xcel Energy and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to walk through the area <br />that was impacted from the clearing that was done under the transmission lines. The representative <br />from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service thought that this would be an excellent area for a natural <br />grassland and pollinator habitats in the affected areas of the clearing. <br /> <br />The plan is that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife will be preparing a design and plan this winter that will <br />be presented in Spring of 2019. The plan and design will offer a guide for staging the <br />implementation over the next few growing seasons. This will be beneficial to see what plants and <br />species work in the area and will allow staff to properly budget for the area. <br /> <br />When staff receives the design from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife it will be presented to the <br />Commission for comment and review. <br /> <br /> <br />
