AGENDA ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING Buck Thorn Removal Program Comprehensive Park Plan Neighborhood Meetings Trail Review/Set up Teams Day in the Park OTHER ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION • Mr. Moore noted the Committee has reviewed all of the parks but has not looked at trails. He then asked if the Committee wanted to look at certain trail sections. Committee Member Zilmer asked if the Committee could rely on Staff to supply information on the trails. Committee Member Crassweller indicated he would like to discuss the unofficial trails and connections to determine whether they can or should be incorporated into the City's trail system. He then suggested that Committee Members pair up and go look at some of the unofficial trails. Mr. Moore noted that it is helpful when going to Council for funding that the Committee is able to say it looked at each and every park and each and every trail. Chairperson Johnson asked Committee Members for suggestions for the giveaways. It was the consent of the Committee to direct Staff to purchase plastic bags for carrying giveaways and information, mini Frisbees, the neck totes, and the water bottles for giveaways. The Committee also determined by consensus that it wished to have a basketball hoop near its booth for a contest. •
