8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Fence quote for lacrosse field — Pete verbal update. Waiting until we get more information about the field and where the fence should go before we commit to installation. B. Community Garden update. Pete verbal update. Put in new posts and fencing. Trees have been trimmed to allow more sunlight. Woodchips are ready to go. Still need to put in irrigation heads, but can hook up to existing irrigation. Community Garden Club is talking about getting a rain barrel since there will be no water pump/spigot for on -demand water. C. Story trail is offered in Spanish on some stories. Pete verbal update. Possible pop-up park events in July could connect with the story trails. D. Zip Line at Hodges Park — Pete verbal update. Cost to move it would be about $12K and does not include site prep. $31 K total to move the zipline and add some swings at $6K. Are there noise buffers that we could purchase to add to the existing zipline? Can we remove the zipline slide for a while to see if the complaint is from the noise of the zipline, or from something else before we commit to spending $31 K? Direct Staff to investigate noise buffers, Take the component down for about 3 weeks, notify area residents about the removal, and see what feedback we get before the next meeting. Is it just moving the zipline noise or moving the kids that use it? Where could it fit at City Hall Park or Silverview? 9. NEW BUSINESS A.
