The City of Hugo received $15,000 to <br />master plan Clearwater Creek Preserve, in particular to enhance community engagement. This spring, the <br />site was evaluated and the wetlands were delineated. An open house was held on June 26, 2018 to gather <br />input from residents on the future of the park. An online forum and survey was also available. A good <br />amount of input was received from residents to help guide the plan. <br /> <br />Candace Amberg, Sr. Landscape Architect with WSB & Associates will present three concept plans for <br />Clearwater Creek Preserve. <br /> <br />Alternate Parks Commissioners <br />Pierre Guigere, Community Development Intern will present about Alternate Parks Commissioners. At their <br />August 6, 2018 meeting, the City Council discussed the use of alternate members on all Hugo commissions, <br />including the Parks Commission. An Alternate Parks Commissioner would attend all Parks Commission <br />meetings and be available to participate in the absence of a Commissioner. To create this position, a change <br />would need to be made to the bylaws of the Parks Commission. Guigere has prepared a draft of the new <br />bylaws for consideration by the Parks Commission. Staff recommends that the Parks Commission discuss the <br />use of Alternate Parks Commissioners and approve the change to the bylaws. <br /> <br />Recreation Program Updates <br />The Bazillions Family Concert June 20 <br />CLIMB Theater August 2 <br />Fridays with Firefighters August 17 <br />Park Play Days Ongoing <br />Fall Movie Night September 14 <br />Tour de Hugo September 22 <br />Fire Department Open House/ Bus Tour/ Fall Clean Up October 6 <br />Princess Party November 3 <br /> <br />New: Story Hours and Memory Cafés
