Also new: planning a penny carnival at festival on Friday night on festival.The 5K will not be offered this year. Field reservations start in February. Ice rinks officially opened last week, and will probably close this weekend for the season due to weather. In December there were social media posts featuring an elf that traveled to different parks and around the community center. Groveland rentals have been blocked off intermittently for use for water meter replacement, but that has not been completed. B. PublicWorks—Don Flooding of rink is short lived- again, due to unusually warm weather. Maintenance on buildings- see packet. City arborist has been working on getting the marked tree inventory down. There is projected to be a lot of trees next year that will still have to come down (ash and oak) due to disease. Buckthorn removal has also been happening at Silver View. Most of the removed buckthorn will be burned, as Ramsey county is restricting what cities can bring in to disposal site-the disposal sites are overwhelmed with ash trees. 8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Ball Field Improvements: City Hall, Greenfield and Silver View Parks Staff came back with projected costs for dug outs at silver view park, city hall park, sidelines for city hall and silver view, and a plated enclosure for storage. Bleachers at City Hall would need to be moved (to behind home plate) for the placement of the dug outs. Mike Hanson IBL president: please look at these improvements as an investment in use for the kids (of IBL) and residents. Silver View is most important for dug outs and fencing so IBL can have multiple games at the same time- right now the lack of fencing makes it unsafe. IBL received a donation for a shed and wants to pay for a shed at Silver View. The MN Twins grant deadline is March 1St. The Twins grant requires specifics. It doesn't include resurfacing grass or turf, and is specific to items like fencing and maintenance/safety issues.
