-7 - <br />Ms. Jones asked what type of work needs to <br />be done on that side of the pond. <br />Commissioner Trettel replied that it is <br />necessary to bring in the maintenance vehicles <br />to add material to the path. Woodchips need <br />to be dumped by truck as using wheelbarrows <br />would be too time consuming. <br />Ms. Jones further stated that based on the <br />original plan, she questions whether there <br />should be a path at all. She understands the <br />need to delineate the park boundary but <br />wants another way of showing it. She asked <br />why a was necessary? <br />Commissioner Starr replied that the original <br />reasoning for the installation of a path was for <br />safety reasons. People were walking on wet <br />grass and mud. Many of them senior citizens. <br />Director Saarion added that the installation of <br />the pathway to continue around the pond was <br />re-initiated by people who walk the path. <br />They had requested that the path continue <br />around the pond. <br />Ms. Jones said that there should have been a <br />bridge, not a path, as per the master plan. <br />Chairperson Burmeister stated that the path <br />was not constructed to just get from one area <br />to another, but for exercise. He further stated <br />that he had went through his notes from <br />earlier meetings that referred to path <br />completion. <br />Ms. Jones stated that it had never been <br />approved on the master plan. <br />Chairperson Burmeister said that the minutes <br />had never mentioned a bridge. <br />Mayor Hankner questioned the status of the <br />path behind the apartment buildings. Director <br />Saarion stated that two letters have been <br />written to the Gaughan Companies with no <br />reply. <br />
