Park Commission Minutes <br /> September 12, 2019 <br /> Page 2 <br /> ------------------------- <br /> 6. Communitv Action Tree Donation <br /> Chair Ronning reiterated that Community Action offered to donate 3 maple trees <br /> and 3-5 pine trees for the Dog Park. The Babinski Foundation has an attachment <br /> the City could use to plant the trees; if the City is unable to plant the trees, <br /> Community Action will pay to have them planted. Mr. Gorr stated that trees will <br /> need to be limited and spaced accordingly for final growth size because of the <br /> water tower and fencing. Discussion ensued regarding placement by using a <br /> map provided by Mr. Gorr. Commissioner Johnson and Mr. Gorr suggested <br /> meeting with Community Action at the Dog Park to discuss the trees after 4:00 <br /> pm before the end of September. Commissioner Johnson will speak to <br /> Community Action regarding possible dog silhouettes along with fewer trees. <br /> Ms. Bittner stated that Community Action received a donation for a park bench <br /> plaque. The remainder of the donation ($275)was given to the Splash Park fund. <br /> 7. Park Commission Vacancies <br /> Chair Ronning stated we have two Park Commission Vacancies and asked if <br /> there are any suggestions for members. Discussion ensued regarding how to <br /> attract people to volunteer for the Commission. Chair Ronning will contact a <br /> possible volunteer. <br /> 8. Potential Tour of Deerwood Splash Park <br /> Ms. Malecha stated that the Mayor of Jenkins asked if a Park Commission <br /> member would like to go with Ms. Malecha to tour the splash pad in Deerwood. <br /> Chair Ronning and Commissioner Melby volunteered to go for the tour. <br /> 9. Veteran's Memorial Sidewalk <br /> Chair Ronning spoke with Jack Schmidt regarding the path. The proposal is a <br /> loop that would go south between finro benches at the Veteran's Memorial. By <br /> doing a loop, the current bricks would be damaged so the suggestion is to have <br /> another straight line of bricks. Discussion ensued regarding making the path <br /> purposeful. <br /> 10. Next Meetinq <br /> Chair Ronning will not be at the October 10, 2019 meeting. He asked if anyone <br /> else will be vacant from this meeting. All present will be at the meeting in <br /> October. <br />
