(PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> PARKS: <br /> • The Parks crew has assisted with clearing snow after the snowstorm. In addition, City sign <br /> messages have been displayed. The Cushman continues to be worked on- parts are no <br /> longer being sold so parts have had to be made. It is fortunate that Steve and Jeff are <br /> knowledgeable in making parts. This piece of machinery must be operational for one more <br /> year. The Cushman is scheduled for replacement in 1997. <br /> • The chipper has not been functioning properly. The shoot has been clogging, making the <br /> chipper much more labor intense than expected and actually shutting down when in use. <br /> Goosen has had the chipper in the shop several times. Staff has not been satisfied with the <br /> operation of the chipper even after revisions. After several months of attempting to solve <br /> the situation, Goosen has refunded the City the complete cost of the chipper. Steve <br /> Dazenski negotiated the full refund and is complimented for his complete file of <br /> correspondence and of actions taken, equipment malfunctions and negotiated resolution. <br /> RECREATION: <br /> • Mary attended an area Recreation Programmers meeting where collaborative activities are <br /> discussed and planned.

Letters of <br /> invitation have been sent to neighbors of Woodcrest Park requesting their ideas of land use <br /> and improvements. <br /> GOLF COURSE: <br /> • Calls continue to be received regarding employment opportunities at the golf course.
