Work on the trailway should begin shortly. b) Groveland Building Replacement Project — Staff met with TKDA and various inspectors on Friday, April 20th.

The contractor is scheduled to finish the touch up grading and complete the seed / sod by mid May. The landscaping will be done by an Eagle Scout candidate shortly after.

Probably not due to the increase need for maintenance. c) Tree Preservation & Landscaping Ordinance — The City has placed an article in the May/June Edition of the Mounds View Matters seeking public input on this topic (included in packet).
