^° Qual Ridge: Screening and fence have been placed in park and trail areas where impacts were significant. Forestry: This year 385 trees were planted on the boulevard in a new development. A screening project was also planted along 4th Avenue, fronting Moline Concrete. We expect that this year we should have a limited number of Oak Wilt vibratory plow line to install, as compared to previous years. Excess funds from last years grant were carried forward to this year. We know of only three new Oak Wilt sites this year that had not been identified last year. Recreation: Please find the updated plans for Fall/Winter/Spring program summaries. In addition our summer programs are well on their way to a successful summer. This year we added the traveling playground program to include Sunset Oaks and Shenandoah Parks. The averages by park has been as follows: PARK AVERAGE CHILDREN PER PARK* Country Lakes 13 Sunrise Park 26 Birch Park 11 City Hall Park 19 Traveling Park 13 *The average is figured on a 13 day period. Performances in the Park: Attendance for the first three performances has been 150, 250 and 150 people. This has attracted all ages of residents and many families have shown interest. Attendance is up from last year. As a subcommittee to our Recreation Focus Committee, we have a teen group that will meet periodically to be involved in the program plan process. It is our hope that we can better address our teen populations recreation needs through this empowerment process. Friends of the Parks: We are continuing to work with our non- profit support group. The Friends have recently obtained their State Tax Exempt status. Respectfully submitted, Marty Asleson Park, Recreation and Forestry Supervisor Att.
