Park Board <br /> October 7, 2020 <br /> Page 6 <br /> B . Birch Park — Girl Scouts Kindness Mail Box <br /> Rick DeGardner, Director of Public Services , presented the staff report. The Girl <br /> Scout Troop 56277, a group of 6�' graders from Centennial Middle School, recently <br /> contacted city staff to request constructing and installing a Kindness Mail Box at <br /> Birch Park. This project was part of their Bronze Award project. A Kindness <br /> Mailbox is similar to the Little Free Library concept that you have seen over the last <br /> couple of years where people can take or add things to brighten someone ' s day . <br /> Items such as cards , sayings, painted rocks, etc . can be found in those mailboxes . It is <br /> about a 24" W x 19" H x 13 " D and is made from solid pine and aspen. The roof and <br /> shingles are pretty durable . They are made of plywood. The mailbox will be <br /> mounted to a 4x4 stained, treated post. One of the troop members will be assigned to <br /> monitor the mailbox monthly to fill it up with kindness knick-knacks and repairs , if <br /> needed . It will be located near the open air shelter at Birch Park. <br /> Mr. Jensen stated the Kindness Mailbox is-a wonderful idea, but he expressed <br /> concern of possible vandalism . <br /> Mr. Gooder said, by allowing this project, the Park Board is welcoming the Girls <br /> Scouts to the City and encouraging them on their various projects . He stated the <br /> Kindness Mailbox may also benefit the community . He further explained, by <br /> allowing this project, it enhances the board ' s connection with the community, it lets <br /> them know the parks are theirs , and they can approach the board anytime if they have <br /> alternative ideas to enhance the parks ' experience . <br /> 8.
