S "THIS IS IT" PARKS, RECREATION & FORESTRY WEEKS OF APRIL 10-14 & 17-21, 1995 PARKS : * Steve and Mary attended Grounds Maintenance Seminar, Monday, April 17 . This is a national institute on athletic field maintenance. The institute was excellent, emphasizing the need for safe and well maintained fields. * Steve, Jeff and Mary also attended the annual Risk Management Workshop sponsored by the League of Minnesota Cities. This workshop is an annual reminder of the safety inspection requirements, documentation, worker safety, participant safety, volunteer requirements, etc. * Hillview Park building was vandalized early this week with graffiti on the north side of the building. Chief Ramacher suspects a pair of juveniles that have done other graffiti i damage throughout the City. The graffiti has been painted over. * The weather has dampened the ability to get parks ready for use. The grass is not growing much yet and the fields are still soggy. Dirt piles are still frozen. We are waiting warm weather. * I have met with Rocky Keene from SEH at Woodcrest Park to discuss the options and opportunities for enhancing the storm water management system through development of Woodcrest Park. Rocky is very excited about the possibilities of coordinating a joint effort of park development and storm water management - especially when the grant, if awarded, would provide 50% funding. More on this at the April 24 City Council meeting. Info is in the packet. * Julie Trude and I met with Sabri Ayaz from BRW regarding an agreement for design, engineering and inspection services for the pedestrian bridge project. Julie will present this item during the May Work Session. RECREATION: * Sharie attended the third and final Festival Management 110 Seminar, completed all the necessary requirements and has now received her Festival Management Certificate. This is
