MINUTES <br />PARK ANA RECREATION COMMISSION <br />JUNE 8, 1987 <br />Members Present: Linda McLoon, Tom Montain, Jean Ohman, Ardis <br />Hutchins, Connie Lasser, Pat Bush and Paul <br />Ciernia, Council Liaison <br />Members Absent: Floyd Bedbury, Paul Nelson, Bob Gehrz <br />Meeting called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Connie Lasser, Chair. <br />Summer Program <br />Pat Bush reported that we are offering 16 programs, several of <br />which. are filled. Two programs were cancelled due to lack of <br />interest, Adult Volleyball and All-Sorts- of-Sports for kids grades <br />4, 5 and 6. These are the age groups we have been unable to <br />attract to our programs, although we are successfully offering <br />an adult caligraphy class. Ardis had an idea for Fun Fridays that <br />t"sere be 3 special event days, each one targeted for a different <br />age group. Pat is working to develop this. <br />Eauipment at Community Park <br />The play equipment for the Community Park has been ordered and <br />will be delivered in time for installation on Saturday, July 11, <br />with the Lions Club and commission volunteers being supervised <br />by a company representative. The representative has told Pat <br />that this is a common method of installation and is easily ac- <br />complished in a day. <br />DNR Community Park Plan <br />On Tuesday, June 2, Pat Bush, Connie Lasser and Jan Weisner, met <br />with Art Weiderstrom of the Department of Natural Resources at the <br />Community Park. We discussed how the pa~~k is used, neighborhood <br />screening and areas needing summer shading, such as the building <br />area. Art Weiderstrom is going to provide us with information <br />on tree programs that we may qualify for. We walked the entire <br />park and checked the trees, most of our young deciduous trees are <br />showing signs of stress due to lack of rain and heat. There are <br />three young trees near the ball diamond that need the soil around <br />them aerated. because of compaction. The City Office is going to <br />get estimates for aerati on. Other young trees are dead and need <br />to be replaced. For the most part, the coniferous trees are <br />do~n°' well, although some of the young ones would do better if <br />the tall grass aroung them were cut. On the park's eastern edge <br />by the playground equipment the honeysuckle is overgrowing some <br />very nice conifers and should be severely pruned back. We will meet <br />again and hope to have a landscaping plan developed by fall. <br />• <br />
