AGENDA ITEM <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE:October 15, 2013 <br />TO:Parks Trails and Recreation Committee <br />FROM:Michelle Olson, Parks and Recreation Manager <br />th <br />SUBJECT:Community Project Day –October 26 <br />Requested Action <br />Staff is looking for direction on if the committee would like to proceed with a garden clean up <br />th <br />day for the community project this year on October 26or cancel the event. <br />Background <br />At the September meeting, the committee decided NOT to hold the traditional buckthorn <br />th <br />removal day.However, the committee agreed to work on October 26to paint the outside of <br />the hockey boards at Freeway Park. Staff was also asked to contact Bethel University to see if <br />they could provide volunteers. A group of Recreation students volunteeredto paint the boards <br />but wanted to work on it while the weather was warm. Therefore, the rink was painted this past <br />week. Staff looked at other potential projects to be done on that day and garden clean up would <br />be a good project. Staff sent out an email to the committee asking for availability for October <br />th <br />26from 9:00-1:00 p.m. It appears we would have at least 6 to work that day. The committee <br />has done this project before and it worked very efficiently. Staff would have two groups, each <br />with a public works staff member. The staff member will trim the plants and the committee <br />volunteer’srake and put the plants/debris into the trucks. <br />
