MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS <br />1 <br />FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR \0 <br />PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY 1 <br />DATE: JUNE 14, 1988 <br />SUBJECT: SILVER VIEW PARK PATHWAY <br />The completion of Silver View Park pathway became an issue when staff received <br />telephone calls from residents who inquired why the wood chip path did not <br />extend around the entire pond. Staff brought this issue up to the Park and <br />Recreation Commission in the Spring of 1987. After several meetings <br />discussing this issue with residents on both sides, it was the desire of the <br />Park and Recreation Commission to extend the path completely around the pond. <br />Some residents living on land bordering park land continued to object to the <br />extension of the pathway. The issue was turned over to the City Council with <br />the recommendation from the Park and Recreation Commission that the pathway be <br />extended. <br />The City Council held several meetings with residents during the 1-1/2 year <br />timespan. A final plan explaining the pathway layout has been developed by <br />Engineer Dan Boxrud (see attached).* It is staff's request that direction be <br />given from the Council to staff regarding the wood chio path at Silver View <br />Park. <br />The City staff has conferred and it is the opinion that work done on the <br />pathway could not be accomplished until fall of this year. Plantings would be <br />stressed if planted during the summer months and there is already a long list <br />of summer maintenance projects to be completed. <br />City Council direction is requested. <br />MS/SL <br />Attachment <br />
