MINUTES <br />PARKS & REC COMMISSION <br />OCTOBER 1, 2020 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3 <br />Commissioner Abruzzese stated that she has visited Gervais Mill a few times the past month. <br />She stated that it would be nice if there was a place to park bicycles at the parks. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chu stated that she has visited her park multiple times and it appears to be in <br />good shape. <br /> <br />Commissioner Abruzzese commented that the smell from the pond has been bad this year. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chu commented that she does remember noticing that smell, but the park is in <br />good shape. <br /> <br />Commissioner Darling stated that she stops at Rondeau Park frequently and it is always well- <br />kept. She stated that she did notice some trash that has blown into the grass around the edges. <br />She referenced the pond which needs maintenance but was unsure if that was located on City <br />property or residential property. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chu commented that the park is well used and there are always kids at the park. <br />She commented that she believes the sign is still down for the park. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager advised that the City is looking to possibly update all signage <br />next year if approved in the budget. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath stated that he stopped at Veterans Memorial Park and did not notice <br />anything of note. He stated that there was a group of people using the pergola area and the park <br />looks good. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schletty commented that he has made a habit of making a daily walk and has <br />added Pioneer Park to his route. He commented that he has not noticed any issues that the <br />Commission is not already aware of and planning to address. He noted on the north edge of the <br />trail there are some low spots that hold rain after a rain event. He stated that he has noticed the <br />explore signs mentioned earlier by the Recreation Coordinator when walking on different trails. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath stated that he lives near Thunder Bay Park and the COVID sign at that <br />park is getting ripped up and should be replaced. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chu commented that she walked the Thunder Bay trail all the way to Maplewood <br />and it was quite lovely. She asked how long the explore signs will be up. <br /> <br />The Recreation Coordinator advised that each park has signs up for one week and then she <br />moves them. <br /> <br />UPDATES
