It is anticipated that the Task Force will not meet again for 4-6 weeks. All Task Force members have been so devoted to meetings every two weeks that they are not one bit sad about having a rest, a well deserved rest. The Parks and Recreation Commission met last Thursday, January 27, 1994 to discuss 1994 Goals and other issues. They have made a long list of Goals which are quite ambitious which they will share with the Council in April during the work session as well as the Strategic Planning session. Council liaison Trude will be sharing issues of the Commission with the Council. GIFTS CATALOGUE has been prepared and printed. I will share them with the Council at the Work Session on Monday. The papers and forms have been sent in for credit card registrations. Now we wait until approval is granted and the little machine is received and phones are hooked up for the gizmo and Spring registration begins. Until then we are advertising the new service to begin in March with Spring registration. Isn't it exciting! FORESTRY: Rick is preparing grants. The Small Business Grant will be submitted to screen the wall along Ardan park to Eastwood Road with plantings and trees in an effort to "spruce up" the new wall area. Also, Rick is writing a Challenge Grant for tree planting and maintenance. This grant will be for screening along Greenfield Park trail to hide the backyards of the fourplexes along Quincy St. Rick has sent 15 letters to residents along Long Lake Road who have lost trees due to the road improvements asking them to notify him regarding wishes for tree replacement. Tree replacement is offered through an MSA program a the State Office. There is money available and Rick has given the information to Jim Hess. Jim will look into the fund to secure tree replacement funds for this project.
