attached the congratulations letter which includes comments from the judges regarding <br /> Mounds View Matters. <br /> • The Banners have arrived and look great. I will be scheduling a time for their <br /> installation with Public Works and the Fire Department for sometime in <br /> February/March. The marketing task force believes it is important to publicize the <br /> banners. Therefore, we would like to have an unveiling celebration when the first <br /> banner is hung, possibly outside City Hall. I will be checking with Council member <br /> schedules for this event. <br /> • Update regarding Mounds View's Application to the State for safety products. We <br /> were not approved in 1995 since the State did not have as much funds as originally <br /> expected. We will be rolled over for consideration for the first quarter of 1996. The <br /> State has $300,000 per quarter to award to businesses, cities and organizations for <br /> safety products in 1996. I'll keep you posted. <br /> Cathy <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> PARKS <br /> TREES DOWN EVERYWHERE! Residential and park trees are damaged throughout the <br /> community due to the ice storm. Rick Wriskey will be assessing damage. He is advising a <br /> program which will assist residents with tree damage clean-up. Contractual services with a <br /> tree removal firm would provide residents the opportunity to get rid of their tree branches <br /> and would decrease the amount of debris stored in yards. <br /> RINKS ARE CLOSED AT -20 DEGREES FOR SAFETY OF SKATERS. Rinks will be <br /> closed Thursday, January 18 because of the cold wind chill temperatures. <br /> THE TRACTOR IS OUT FOR REPAIRS - SPRING LAKE PARK TRACTOR IS <br /> BEING BORROWED. The tractor is used with the special broom attachment to sweep <br /> rinks, which is necessary before floodings. Special insurance certificates have been obtained <br /> to ensure that borrowing of equipment is without risk to either city. We are appreciative of <br /> Spring Lake Park's willingness to help us out. <br /> JOINT PURCHASING FERTILIZERS/SEED/WEED CONTROL. Parks and Golf <br /> Course is jointly purchasing fertilizers, seed and weed control to take advantage of bulk <br /> prices. Steve and John are meeting with several representatives to obtain the best deal. <br />
