Hazelnut, Floral, Cummings & Royal Hills all have ball fields. Potential source of funds. <br /> <br /> <br />B. Trail and Parks Projects Update <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson provided an update from Assistant Public Works Director <br />Miller, who is absent. <br />• Floral Park construction has begun. <br />• Tree project is complete. <br />• Hazelnut parking lot negotiations between the City and Trinity Lutheran Church are <br />ongoing. <br />• Safe Routes to School is under construction. <br /> <br />Committee Member Polzer asked that during the September 2023 Open House for the trail from <br />Lake Valentine Road to Highway 96 along Old Highway 10 include detailed imagery or data from <br />PTRC plan (reference document) that includes information on previous and future park projects. <br /> <br />5. NEW BUSINESS <br />A. Unofficial Trails <br />Committee Member Seemannn introduced adding logs to edges of the unofficial trails at <br />Hazelnut to be delineated, not maintained. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued about Unofficial Trails and the potential for making an exception in this <br />case at Hazelnut. <br /> <br />Committee Member Seemannn made a motion that the existing foot paths through the woods <br />at Hazelnut park be treated the same as similar trails at Floral Park. No second was voiced. <br /> <br />Committee Member Polzer offered an amendment to the motion “that the foot trails at <br />Hazelnut Park be considered to be the same as the ones at Floral Park that are not paved, <br />however that be taken into account after restoration has been done at Hazelnut Park”. <br /> <br />Committee Member Kelliher made a motion and was seconded by Committee Member <br />Seemann to propose tabling the motion until after the 2024 Hazelnut Park remediation in <br />order to assess the nature of any modifications to existing unofficial trails. Motion passed 4-1 <br />(Polzer opposed) <br /> <br />C. Outdoor Classroom <br />Committee Member Olson provided information about an area of Hazelnut Park that is suitable <br />location for a “Little Free Library”. <br /> <br />Chair Hinton moved to postponing this topic to the October agenda.
