( PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> PARKS: <br /> * Steve and Jeff have been attending classes this entire week in Traffic <br /> Control and Water School. <br /> * Mary met with the Park Patrol volunteers last Saturday. They are a great <br /> bunch of people who are interested in giving back to the community by way <br /> of providing a safety an customer service to park participants. We <br /> reviewed the Park Ordinances, reviewed the mission and goals of the Park <br /> Patrol and discussed ways that they can operate most effectively. We will <br /> be meeting again Saturday, May 6 at which time I will have prepared for <br /> them all information, maps, shirts, communications means, first aid supplies, <br /> keys and other necessities that will assist them in their activities. <br /> * The interview committee for design, engineering and inspection services for <br /> the pedestrian bridge met again Monday, April 3 to share references which <br /> had been received by the finalist firms. We are all feeling a little "stuck" in <br /> the process because each of the firms are reputable and have good <br /> references. The ISTEA program is new and therefore none have great <br /> experience with this sort of project. We will proceed to ask for refined cost <br /> estimates to reflect more defined expectations. <br /> RECREATION: <br /> * Summer activities planning is underway to meet the deadline date for <br /> May/June City Newsletter preparation. <br /> * Portable Restroom bids have been received and will be analyzed for <br /> recommendation for bid award. <br /> * T-shirt, hat and jacket designs and orders have been prepared this week <br /> including youth athletic shirts, summer playground shirts, Park Patrol shirts, <br /> Park Maintenance and Summer Recreation Leader staff shirts, Coaches <br /> NYSCA shirts, award shirts, volunteer shirts, etc. Each has a different <br /> design, sizings, styles, etc and therefore it is a time consuming task. <br /> However, t-shirts are a wonderful marketing tool because whenever it is <br /> worn, it advertises the City of Mounds View. For this reason we are <br /> concerned about getting the very best t-shirt design and quality that we can <br /> feasibly provide. <br />
