He also wanted to communicate some concerns to the Commission: • The old portion of Silverview path is cracking • Tires in the pond by Scotland Green • New seeding is needed next to new path • Water lillie issue on pond(Parks Dept. has info. From Cliff on how to treat) • West side of the pond needs trimming Stan concurred with Cliff as to the cooperation by this volunteer group of individuals. Stan also mentioned the idea of having a liaison with the Commission, Public Works and the Silver Lake Woods Association. His point was to continue to utilize these individuals who are willing to help. Rich mentioned that a clean up day City-wide in conjunction with the Association may be a solution. A letter written by a resident and given to Commissioners was discussed, relative to the safety of the new path surrounding Silverview pond. The resident suggested making it a • walking path only. The group decided this was too restrictive for people,that signage and paint could identify proper direction and etiquette.
