Roath asked whether Jan and Julie would like to stay <br /> on the East Long Lake Trail subcommittee. <br /> Johnson stated what he has heard from Rick Meyers is that he is interested in being on the East Long <br /> Lake Trail subcommittee as well. <br /> Johnson commented he is happy to stay on the Lurton Dog Park subcommittee along with Rick Meyers. <br /> Ruegemer stated she is also willing to help out with Lurton. <br /> Roath indicated he will leave Beth on there for now and that they can verify whether she is still interested. <br /> Roath noted currently on the Trails subcommittee is Rick Carter, Chair;Julie Ruegemer; Bryce Johnson; <br /> and Beth Davis. <br /> Roath stated he will be the chair for Bederwood,Jan can be the chair on East Long Lake, and the ice rinks <br /> will be Rick Meyers.
