i "THIS IS IT" PARKS, RECREATION & FORESTRY WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 25 - 29, 1995 PARKS: * This week the hockey boards at both Hillview and Lambert Parks have been painted with brown exterior and white interior colors. This new paint job has made the aesthetics of the hockey boards much better. RECREATION: * After-school programs began this week. * Sharie is working on the Budget Brochure and the City Newsletter. * Winter programs are in planning stages. * Mary attended a cooperative venture meeting at the Family III Center. We have been asked to provide transportation for families who are in the WIC program, which is a program which assists mothers and children - providing early child development information, nutritional information and food vouchers. Our part of the program is the transportation. We will be picking up people participating in the WIC program at 8 different locations in both Mounds View and New Brighton - transporting them to the Family Center, to New Market for grocery shopping and home again. Mary will be the driver, using the Lion' s City bus. This is a joint program with the churches, Eagle ' s Club, County Social Services and the New Brighton and Mounds View Parks and Recreation Departments. GOLF COURSE: * John and crew continue to mow and aerate greens. Other projects are completed as time allows. * We have requested ideas from various people with experience in boardwalks and bridges (ie. Spring Brook Nature Center) for improvements to the boardwalk that we can consider. Additional information regarding floats and pilings have been solicited. In addition, ideas regarding putting the boardwalk on the ground versus in the air are being studied. 401 Soil borings of the boggy area will undoubtedly be required when considering future improvements to the boardwalk. More information will be provided as it becomes available.
