STAFF REPORTS A. Parks and Recreation — Don- See attached report. B. Public Works — Don- See attached report. Damage to some trees in the parks by bark removal. Can we post pictures of damaged trees and other graffiti as they arise on the City website and/or social media to alert neighbors of the damage being done in their community? It may result in the perpetrators learning a lesson, and may encourage residents to monitor and come forward with information as things happen. 7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Tennis Courts — Practice Board options- proposals for 8' x 12' boards are $2276 and $1897.50 plus shipping PER PARK. Both options are similar in design and mounting style. Discussion about where to place them. Preferably on the outside of Groveland courts so the outside asphalt court can be used. Possibly wait to see the use at Groveland before installing at Greenfield. Discussion about graffiti -we know it will happen. Can we get someone from Irondale High School art department to paint "nice" graffiti that might add art to the park and deter other mischievous graffiti? Motion by Palm to recommend purchase of one board at a cost of $1897.50 plus shipping with funds coming from Park Dedication Fund to be installed at Groveland Park. 2"d by Sullivan. Motion Passed 6-0. B. Greenfield Trail — Continue Discussion On Maintenance and Condition of trail. Two Commissioners walked the trail and found no concerns, although noting it has been very dry. City Staff indicated there are times that the trail can get "boggy" during wetter seasons. We will have more access to Branch 5 of Judicial Ditch 1 whereby more cleaning can be done more regularly. Commission recommends to wait and monitor as weather changes and the ditch maintenance can be addressed over the next year or so. C.
