Apparently there had been some resistence by <br /> residents in that area. Terri will get information on a public hearing. Developing trails at the <br /> golf course for a nature trail is also an interest. Terri will invite John Hammerschmidt to the <br /> March meeting to discuss plans. Lighting for the paths to the softball fields at City Hall, and the <br /> volleyball courts was also discussed. Steve will get a cost estimate for this. Terri will explore <br /> the possibility of moving the playground equipment from Woodcrest, which is no longer a park, <br /> to Random park which would enhance the existing equipment. Discussion turned to the outdoor <br /> basketball courts that were included in the MVCC original plans.
