PARK UPDATE <br />• BRW is doing estimates at Perry Park to move the road over, adding a picnic shelter <br />with electricity and water, fix the bridge, and remove the berms on the field. Staff <br />feels the bridge will be very expensive. <br />• BRW is also looking at the Hazelnut Park Warming house, which is already in the <br />CIP. <br />• Paved trails will be cleaned this week. <br />• We had some trees come down.

The committee <br />agreed and voiced concerns that public time should not be taken away by broomball <br />teams. Staff reported that next year we would like to attend the Bethel Broomball <br />meeting to go over the policies of the City with our rink attendants and their team <br />managers. Pat Krenn also wondered why we closed at 7:00 p.m. on weekends. Staff <br />responded that the number one reason was staffing issues, the number two, budget. <br />Hazelnut Park was most utilized followed by Freeway Park, Perry Park and <br />• Cummings Park. The general rink at Cummings Park is located on the lowest lever, <br />which causes problems. Pat Krenn stated that the trail used to not be plowed in that <br />0 <br />
