strong northeast wind which carries long ball hits. The wind blown softballs evidently hit the berm and skim off hitting the side of their home. Pine trees have been planted on the berm in hopes of offering a natural deflection buffer, but obviously it has not been successful. This issue will be on the agenda of the June Work Session. Staff has requested costs of higher fencing and netting options. Until that time we have hired a person to sit on the berm and catch any long homeruns that go over the fence before they land so that they do not skim off the berm hitting the sides of their homes - as a security measure for their home. RECREATION: * Most youth athletic practices will begin next week. All the equipment, t-shirts, manuals, schedules, and first aid supplies have been distributed. All but 6 coaches have attended the Coaches Clinic. Mary will be holding the last coaches clinic this Saturday. * Silver View Park has been reserved for just about every weekend of the summer already! This is a very popular picnicking facility in the City. Oh how gorgeous Silver View Park is now during this blossom time! * The Garden Club will be planting the bushes and flowers at City Hall this weekend (May 20-21) They put a lot of energy into this project and they do a nice job. * MVCT auditions are June 7, 8, and 9th. The artistic staff has been hired. FORESTRY: * Tree locations have been marked for planting at City Hall (8 trees near the ballfield near the backstop area) Silver View (5 trees at the County Rd H2 side) Lambert Park (2 trees to replace boulevard trees) and Greenfield ( 4 trees, 2 in the parking lot islands and 2 near the playground area). These trees are all acquired through the Small Business grant received in 1993. In addition, Rick has 25 trees to be planted along Long Lake Road funded through MSA. CABLE TV * Jerry is still waiting for the last of the equipment for the Council Chambers podium, projector system. The carpenter is finishing the podium and hopefully it will be here within a week. A part of the Cable TV control room furniture has arrived, he is waiting for the rest of it so that he can organize the control room. GOLF COURSE UPDATE This morning I met Paul Miller and Golf Course Superintendant Kurt Johnson to review the progress of the golf course and to orientate Kurt to the development.
