( PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY PARKS Staff continues to maintain ice rinks and park buildings. Jeff and Joe were flooding during nights during the weeks of holiday vacations to ensure that the rinks were frozen and ready for vacation hours, which are extended hours. Now that youth are back to school, the crew is back to daytime hours. Rinks open at 3:00 p.m. and close at 8:00 p.m. during school nights and open from 11:00 am to 9:00 p.m. weekend evenings. RECREATION: The City Newsletters have been mailed. Recreation activity registrations are currently being received. We have been experiencing youth behavior problems at Lambert Park rink. Staff and police department are trying to curb "bully" behavior and smoking that seems to be an increasing problem with middle school age youth. CABLE TV: Taping of"View From the Mound" will be held January 11. Topics will be city snowplowing, information regarding opportunities for youth to earn money shoveling residents' driveways, and an update on the addition to Pinewood School. GOLF COURSE: John has been travelling to various neighboring golf course borrowing the use of grinders. He has finished 12 of 19 reels that need to be sharpened. In addition, John has been overhauling the equipment to take advantage of warranties for parts and labor relating to equipment maintenance procedures. John has completed an inventory listing of equipment for Kitty's assets file. In addition he has completed a supplies inventory list which will assist in Spring time ordering of supplies. FORESTRY: One portion of the City's boulevard trees have been trimmed. Rick has indicated that boulevard tree trimming is a priority because several roads are becoming overgrown with tree branches. This overgrowth hinders emergency vehicles and promotes road blockage in the occasion of straight winds, storms or tornadoes. Mary S •
