RICK MEYERS <br /> <br />Rick Meyers, Chair of the Park Commission and member of the Navarre Community Initiative, stated he <br />would like to speak about a donation Mrs. Englund has offered to make in honor of her late husband at <br />the Navarre Park. Meyers indicated Mrs. Englund was part of the original Navarre Community Initiative, <br />which is a group of concerned citizens who want to improve Navarre. <br /> <br />Meyers stated he got together with the Navarre Community Initiative prior to going on the Park <br />Commission and also attended some meetings. Meyers stated during one of the meetings he spoke with <br />Mrs. Englund about the donation and that they discussed several different options. The option decided <br />upon was to erect a living memorial, which would consist of a wall of lilacs in back of the playground <br />area on the north side of the park. <br /> <br />Meyers reported this past Saturday a group of people from the Navarre Community Initiative removed all <br />of the buckthorn and shrub brush, and generally cleaned up the entire northern part of the park for <br />possible future plantings. Mrs. Englund has agreed to contract with Norling’s Landscaping to plant lilac <br />bushes. <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 05/12/2014 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 04/28/2014 <br />[Page 1 of 13]
