( PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY PARKS: * Steve and Jeff are working on filling and grading areas of Hillview Park to provide for an even surface for flooding the pleasure skating rink. They are making a small berm along the northern property line to ensure that melting ice does not flow into the neighbors-backyard. * Park vandalism occurred this past weekend resulting in damage to Silver View Park picnic shelter door and lock. Persons also entered Hillview Park building and sprayed the fire extinguisher throughout the interior requiring many hours of clean-up of the room, carpet and furnace system. * The tanker truck is being prepared for winter ice rink flooding. Flooding modifications are being installed. * Daily field work and inspections occur with repairs and maintenance performed as necessary. RECREATION: * I will be attending the Executive Development School for Parks and Recreation Directors next week, November 26 - December 2, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I will be attending many classes of interest including Partnerships, Strategic Planning, Personnel Management, Accessibility/ADA, Concession Management, Working with the Media, RFP's, RFQ's and Spec Writing, Recreational Injury Liability, Ethics and Executive Duty, and Market Research. Each of the class topics are very appropriate for my job. Although the school is tightly scheduled with classes from early morning to 9:00 p.m. every evening, it should be a tiring, but informative week. There will also be an idea exchange and open forum for focusing on issues of the day. * Mary drove for the first WIC activity this Tuesday, November 21. The County is very appreciative of Marv's assistance in this program which is directly aimed at low- income families with young children. * Shade is taking a few days of well deserved vacation.
