Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated the City Staff maintains these lawns. Most of the trail is City property. Mayor Harpstead asked if Staff had talked to the residents that live at the ends of the trail to find out what there thoughts are about the entrance signs. Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated that Staff had not talked with them but the Chair does know the person that lives on Glen Paul and Cleveland and the PTRC chair had planned to contact them in the near future. Staff will be communicating with the residents once a design has been established.
