Park Board Minutes <br />March 8, 2012 <br />Page 2 <br />------------------------- <br /> <br /> <br /> The Commissioners reviewed the Breezy Point master park plan. The <br />Commissions also reviewed the information provided by the City of <br />Nisswa for the Nisswa parks. The Park Commission felt it would be a good <br />start to take an inventory of each of the City Parks and then evaluate the <br />parks to see what is needed at each location to ensure that the parks and <br />trails are utilized to the fullest and to note what could be added to the park <br />system and individual parks in the future. <br /> <br />6. Recycling Containers for the Park <br /> <br /> Mike Loven stated that there are funds remaining from the SCORE grant <br />to be used toward recycling. He suggested that the Park Commission <br />consider adding a few recycling containers at Trailside Park. It was the <br />consensus to have the Park Commission look at what is available for <br />recycling containers and to place them by the band shell and picnic shelter <br />next to the garbage containers. <br /> <br />7. Other Business <br /> <br /> Park Brochures – The Commissioners reviewed a proof of the park <br />brochure provided by Scott Pederson. Suggestions include: <br /> <br /> Add a photo of Gildner and Trailside North Parks. <br /> Other photos could include the picnic shelter, veteran’s memorial, <br />and band shell at Trailside Park. <br /> Park Sizes. <br /> Photo of Chamber building listing public restrooms. <br /> Old Hwy 371 north of C.R. 11 is now County Road 112 <br /> <br /> The Clerk explained that there were not many recent photos to use at this <br />time, but that the City will be working to acquire more photos for future <br />year brochures. <br /> <br /> Discussion was held regarding the issue of no public restrooms on the <br />east side of town. It was noted that there is a need to have some type of <br />public restroom facilities in this area. <br /> <br /> Adopt a Garden – The Mayor placed an article in the Echo requesting <br />volunteers to help maintain the gardens on the north side of Trailside <br />Park. Cathy Malecha, Karen Ettesvold and Mayor Adams will inventory the <br />gardens that require attending and make a list of the gardens. <br /> <br /> The Commission indicated that park tours should begin in April, weather <br />permitting.
