• • • Park Board Meeting — January 5, 2004 Minutes • Cleaned and prepped wood duck houses. Out of 54 total boxes 39 or 72% had successful wood duck hatches. Approximately 200 ducklings were hatched from the successful boxes, which is about 5 ducklings per box. Rick highlighted the relocation of the pleasure rink at Sunrise Park. He stated that two lights had been place on the hockey rink light pole. Paul asked if he ever received any comments from residents about the lights. Rick responded no. Rick also told the Board that a bench had been placed at the top of the hill on the LaCasse Trail per request by a senior citizen in the area. They appreciated the placement of the bench. Chair Lindy asked about trail inspections. He wanted to know if there was a list of areas needing repairs. Rick said there were some problems with culverts heaving, but generally the trails system is in good condition. He felt there was no need to focus on them in the 2004 goals. Paul talked about culvert drain socks. He said it included drain tile with silt socks. He said the water flow wasn't the same but the culverts didn't heave. Pat said if insulation was put on top of the culvert then paved it also helped the heaving problem.
