CHAIR CLEMENT SECONDED THE MOTION. <br /> MOTION CARRIED 4-0. <br /> 3. Master Park Plan Discussion <br /> Karen Ettesvold updated the Commission on the meeting that the <br /> Planning Commission held at the Trailside Park last month. She explained <br /> that the Planning Commission made some suggestions to enhance the <br /> park. It was suggested to move some of the bushes and trees because <br /> they blocked the trail. It was felt that moving the trees would make the <br /> park more user-friendly. The Planning Commission suggested moving or <br /> cutting trees down by the picnic shelter to create a more peaceful area <br /> looking down the hill at Dru's garden and to add amenities such as <br /> benches and a water fountain. Another suggestion was to create some <br /> type of berm by the band shelter to better define the seating area. The <br /> Park Commission discussed this idea and felt that a sidewalk with <br /> benches would work best. <br /> The Mayor stated that Chuck Marohn and the Planning Commission is <br /> working on a master park plan and would present it to the Park <br /> Commission for input. The Commission requested the Clerk to invite <br /> Chuck Marohn to the next Park Commission meeting in November. <br /> 4. Memorial for Del Anderson <br /> The Mayor noted that Del's daughter had contacted her about donating <br /> some money for a memorial in the park in Del's honor. The Commission <br /> members noted that it had been previously decided to plant a memorial <br /> tree for Del. Cathy Malecha suggested planting a tree to replace a birch <br /> that is dying by the band shelter. The Mayor noted that she would pass on <br /> the information to Del's daughter. <br /> 5.
