• The EDC will meet this week for their regularly scheduled August meeting. One of the <br /> items on their agenda includes reviewing possible uses for the Blue House property and <br /> Win/Jones Property. This area along Highway 10 was the Council's third priority. I have <br /> had several inquiries regarding the property and need some direction with regards to <br /> types of uses, City's participation,possible sales price, etc. The EDC's recommendations <br /> will be brought to the Council\EDA at the September work session. <br /> Cathy <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> PARKS: <br /> Steve Dazenski is out this week for surgery and recovery. He will hopefully be feeling better as he <br /> anticipates being back to work the middle of next week. Graffiti at Lambert Park hockey rink <br /> required unexpected time and labor to repaint- graffiti remover just couldn't rid of that red paint. <br /> Routine park maintenance with the addition of painting soccer fields continue. Overgrown <br /> landscaping bushes around playground equipment at Groveland, bushes obscuring Woodcrest Park <br /> building windows, and overgrown bushes at Random Park are being removed. The trend for high <br /> visibility is a priority over landscape bushes and we are adapting our park facilities thus. Parks <br /> crew continue to pick up branches and trim broken limbs off park trees damaged in the storm. <br /> RECREATION: <br /> Fall programming is in its final stages of planning. Fall is an exciting time because of so many <br /> special holidays and activities. Everyone seems eager to get the brochure and sign up for <br /> activities. Many groups have requested park facilities for meetings, the calendar of users is being <br /> prepared. We are sorry to announce that our beloved Pre-School instructor Rene Rach is leaving <br /> for a full time position offering benefits. She has been with our program for many years. She is <br /> loved by many children throughout the community. Her services have been greatly appreciated. <br /> We will really miss her. So, we are looking for a new preschool instructor to take her place. <br /> CABLE TV: <br /> The Cable TV Committee met last Wednesday and discussed September programming, including <br /> candidates forums . Election coverage was also planned. As always, ideas for programs exceed <br /> time for production. We are awaiting the purchase of more decks to allow more playback <br /> capabilities. Money is granted from the Lion's Club. <br />
