COMMISSIONERS' UPDATES <br /> Brenda Johnson reported Bob Gasch has a map of the old Native American trails. <br /> Pesek indicated he went through French Creek Preserve and that he ran into a couple of people who were <br /> using the park that were not neighbors. Pesek reported the gate has been installed. <br /> Meyers noted the Park Commission talked about putting some arborvitae along the fence at French Creek. <br /> Meyers suggested the Park Commission should perhaps get a bid for that work. <br /> Pesek stated he is in agreement with that. <br /> Meyers stated he,Adam, and Paul will take a look at it to see what can be done. <br /> Bryce Johnson commented a sign at that park would be nice. <br /> Edwards stated he has received permission from Hennepin County to erect a sign but that he has not been <br /> able to locate the sign. Edwards indicated he will continue with his attempts to locate it. <br /> Berg reported Lydiard Beach has received a lot of compliments and that the people who use it are <br /> enjoying it.

Berg stated deer also go <br /> down there as well as some other wildlife. <br /> Bryce Johnson asked about the purchase of the land near Hackberry Park. <br /> Meyers stated the life estate on the home in the middle of Hackberry Park has been finalized.
