Meyers stated it is his understanding the materials will be treated <br /> pine. <br /> Edwards indicated it will be pressure treated materials and that it should blend in with the fencing and the <br /> other items at the park. <br /> Meyers noted plastic is very expensive and that using treated wood will reduce the costs. Meyers <br /> • <br /> suggested the agility system be moved further up the hill to avoid all the activity near the gate.

DOCK DISPOSITION AT CARMAN AND FREDERICK STREETS <br /> Edwards stated the City did receive a request from a neighboring resident to have the dock permanently <br /> removed from the access point located at Carman and Frederick Streets. The dock sits on a 30-foot wide <br /> city-owned access. According to the Comprehensive Plan, it is listed as a fishing dock and it is also used <br /> by boaters for temporary access on and off the lake with no overnight storage of items. <br /> Last fall Staff did receive notice from that neighbor stating that no one was using the dock. As an <br /> experiment, Staff did not put the dock out in the spring but the City started receiving calls asking about <br /> the dock. As a result,the Public Works Department did install the dock this year. <br /> Page 2 of 14 <br />
