Edwards stated the general <br />consensus at that time was to continue with the same initiatives as in 2016, which are to look at trails, <br />look at the history and culture of Seven Nations Park, conduct community outreach, and also explore <br />some options for obtaining outside funding. <br />'_Meyers stated in his view it captures the discussion at the meeting. <br />Pesek stated he is fine with the summary. <br />Bryce Johnson noted under Bederwood Park there are no other committee members listed besides him. <br />Edwards stated he left that blank because no one else volunteered at the work session. <br />Meyers and Lindahl indicated they would be willing to be on the committee. <br />Meyers stated the Park Commission should finish up their work from 2016 before beginning work on the <br />2017 initiatives. Meyers asked if anything has occurred with the Saga Hills trail clearing and whether any <br />bids have been received. <br />Edwards stated it was classified as a 2017 task to look at and that over the winter they can look at <br />obtaining some quotes. <br />Page 1 of 13 <br />
