ANY NEW NEWS? <br /> McDermott noted that along with Welles, Wilson, and Council Member Flint,they walked through <br /> the site this spring. He understood that Spring Hill was going to rough-in the trail. As of this date <br /> it has not yet been roughed-in. <br /> STATUS REPORT <br /> (#10) BEDERWOOD <br /> Gappa reported that the O.B.A. will be using the ballfields at Bederwood on Mondays and <br /> Wednesday, and Hackberry on Tuesdays and Thursday. Gappa stated he informed O.B.A. to post <br /> their ball schedule. <br /> (#11) Bike/March for Parks - Ilse <br /> A. Landscaping Update - Ilse <br /> Ilse questioned how to proceed in getting bushes and flowers around the park signs for Hackberry, <br /> Navarre, and Bederwood. <br /> Silber volunteered to help Ilse with selecting shrubs and flowers. Silber recommended some soil <br /> amendments before any planting. She suggested getting on a contractor's schedule for some time <br /> in August. Silber questioned who would be doing the work. Gappa stated that the Public Works <br /> Department could do the labor at the park, but it would be easier to hire it out. <br /> B. Old Crystal Bay, short court basketball update -Erickson/Wilson <br /> McDermott noted Erickson and Wilson were not present to give their report and passed this item on <br /> for discussion at a future meeting. <br /> Isle felt there were not many options for the park. The court would need to go North and South, <br /> north of the post office,to save room for a gazebo. McDermott questioned if there would be a back <br /> stop. Gappa stated that it would be just a short court with two baskets and no backstops. Gappa felt <br /> that he could have Schoening come out and stake the court out to give the neighborhood a chance <br /> to see the location prior to it being put in. McDermott also offered to meet Ilse at the park to stake <br /> it out next week. <br /> 3 <br />
