He <br />invited City Council members to join the Park Commission on its upcoming park tour tentatively <br />scheduled for July 6, 2004. Rice asked staff when the vacant Park Commission seat would be <br />advertised. <br />Moorse stated that the vacancy would be advertised the following weekend. <br />Murphy suggested that the Park Commission consider monitoring the Excel Energy and DNR tree <br />trimming efforts along the Luce Line trail. He indicated that it was the opinion of many that the <br />trimming had become more of a nondiscriminatory mass cutting, in an effort to rid the trail of <br />exotics, such as buckthorn. While discussions with the DNR and Excel are ongoing, Murphy <br />stated that no progress has been made. <br />• McMillan suggested that the Park Tour include a visit to Saga Hill to view the recent land swap. <br />Page 1 of 8 <br />
