New Business:

  1. Will Lambert distributed pictures of benches which have been donated, tentatively, for use at the Dog Park. Both need refinishing and some degree of repair. Consensus of the group was that they could be used outside the dog park fence. Will shall take to City Council for approval. Scot will also check to see if any of the K-M Lions might be interested in helping with the restoration.

Old Business:

  1. EAB in Dodge County- Ann Tuma reviewed information shared at the EAB informational meeting. The best treatment is to burn infected wood immediately. On discussion, we wil consider treating some of the Ash Trees at Dennison Park while continuing to remove and replace ash trees in Riverside Park.

  1. Mantor Field playground Update – Board members, City Crew, Mayor Bradford and community volunteers installed the playground equipment at Mantor Field Park on Sat. 10/15. Timbering was installed on the back and sides. Scot and Joe will obtain additional timbers, pea rock and drain tubing (for the back and sides). We decided to extend the west boundary of the play area by 4’ to insure safe clearance should a child jump from a swing. Scot and Joe will install and staple the fabric barrier and have mulch delivered as time permits (may need to have another work day if their schedule gets tight).
  1. ZWP/LCCMR Riverside Park Project update– Ann will resend plaque content and suggested input be sent directly to Kevin Strauss to facilitate timely consideration.
  1. Mantor Field Dugouts– Paulson builders placed posts and cement bases for $2,500. Paulson quoted (to Scot) a price of $1,700 each for labor to build the complete dugouts. Scot reported we already have most of the materials needed, except for some shingles and siding. Scot will put together a more detailed budget and forward to Chair Ann Tuma.

Reports
Financial - Chair Tuma reported that sufficient funds for completion of the

Mantor Field Playground should be within the carryover budget.

Adjournment – 8:10 PM per motion by Lambert, 2nd Oolman.
