adult and youth kickball leagues for next year.
B. Public Works: See Public Works notes. Disc golf course at Silverview update: course designer will
progress the course design this month for Commission review in November. Tree removal in late
fall/early winter. Direct Staff to provide layout for parking at Groveland Park: 90º vs. 60º angled.
Consider options for the green space north of the ball field. Batting cage? Parking lot? Plant trees?
Leave alone as green space for warming up? Plan for parking on west side of Groveland with sidewalk
on east side. This decreases possibility of young children running between cars, and adds safety with
the sidewalk on the east side.
