CHAIRMAN’S REPORT – BRIAN ROATH <br />Roath reported they had a great workshop meeting in October and he hopes everyone has a good focus on <br />projects coming into 2021. He noted Klaahsen was not at the October work session and they would <br />update her. Regarding Summit Beach, Roath noted he, Berg, Klaahsen and Edwards went to the beach a <br />month ago and came together with a vision as to what that park would look like – with or without a <br />rowing club presence. Specifically, the interest is to put a playground at the beach. With Staff help, they <br />will put together some commentary and pass it on to the City Council. Roath noted at the last workshop <br />meeting there was great commentary around Hackberry and Crystal Bay Park and said there is a lot of <br />work to do but they are running with it. There was also good discussion about Big Island and Roath <br />stated it is also on the agenda tonight. <br />2. PUBLIC WORKS UPDATE – ADAM EDWARDS <br />Edwards stated they are transitioning from summer activities to winter activities so the docks have been <br />pulled, they have blown out irrigation systems, put down the last batch of fungicide on turfs, and <br />transitioned some of the lake access points. Jason Goehring and Barry Rathburn took on a mini project to <br />expand and restore the beach at Lydiard, particularly the sand. <br />The Commissioners thanked them and said the beach looks great.
