CASCO POINT PARK PLANTING PROPOSED UPDATE—JULIE RUEGEMER <br /> Ruegemer reported Casco Point residents John and Amy Miller had approached her regarding the <br /> possibility of them planting various native plants at the Casco Point Park. Ruegemer stated she and Chair <br /> Meyers met with them at the park a couple of months ago and since that time the Millers have developed <br /> and submitted a planting plan for the park. Ruegemer stated they also requested that some type of path be <br /> mowed through the grass and that the plan is to keep the area as natural as possible, with some plantings <br /> along the path. <br /> Meyers stated there should be minimal maintenance required of the planting areas. <br /> Bryce Johnson asked whether the Millers said anything about needing to prepare the soil. <br /> Meyers indicated there will be minimal disruption to the area and that they are looking at digging out a <br /> few areas along the path. <br /> Meyers asked whether the Millers will be purchasing all the plants. <br /> Ruegemer indicated they will be. <br /> Meyers stated that perhaps the City could supply some bags of soil that could be used. <br /> Edwards noted the City also has a supply of compost and that the Public Works Department could deliver <br /> a load of compost down to the park. <br /> Meyers suggested the Millers be told that. <br /> Page 1 of 6 <br />
