ARDEN HILLS PARKS, TRAILS & RECREATION COMMITTEE 5 <br /> Committee Member Thompson commented on the need for repeat treatments in the <br /> following years to assure there is not a resurgence of buck thorn. <br /> Committee Member Tix asked if someone would have to be hired to use chain saws to <br /> clear the larger sized buck thorn. Mr. Moore stated the City has a chainsaw and chipper <br /> and uses a contract chipper as well. <br /> Committee Member Crassweller suggested the coordination of a program that involves <br /> City staff and volunteers over one or several weekends. He agreed that Crepeau Park <br /> would be a very good place to start and once successfully completed, it will be easier to <br /> create additional programs for other parks and areas. <br /> Committee Member Tix asked if Bethel College will also be included in the program. <br /> Mr. Fabel stated he will stay in contact with Bethel College. <br /> Committee Member Tix stated another problem area is by the Mounds View High <br /> School. Committee Member Crassweller agreed and commented that may be the next <br /> area to consider. <br /> The motion carried unanimously. <br /> • PARK COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE <br /> A. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING SCHEDULES/COMMITTEE <br /> PARTICIPATION <br /> Mr. Moore noted the letter that will be sent to residents advising of the meeting dates <br /> scheduled for the community. He explained that some of the signage used for the 50th <br /> Celebration will be reused to advertise these meetings in individual neighborhoods, if <br /> deemed important. <br /> Mr. Moore asked the Committee to establish a schedule of who will attend to represent <br /> the Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee at each of these four meetings. <br /> Mr. Fabel suggested that the issue of buck thorn also be mentioned at each of these <br /> meetings. <br /> Council Liaison stated his agreement with this suggestion and asked staff to create a <br /> small display that could be shown at the meetings. <br /> TRAIL TEAMS <br /> Mr. Moore stated it was determined at the last meeting that the Committee would be split <br /> into "teams"to inspect sections of trails and then report back to the Committee on their <br /> findings. <br />
