Notes to: Jon and the Committee 1. City Gardens: As Kim did a lot of the work to plant and maintain the City’s garden, I think that we need to be concerned as to how this is going to be done in 2012. This is a maintenance item and as such it is a Public Works responsibility. However, the did not do this work last year, and they have also lost one full time person. So, it is unlikely that they will be able to do more work on the gardens this summer. I think that the committee should take on the responsibility of overseeing the gardens. Not doing the work but ensuring the work is done and becomes a source of city pride. To accomplish this role, we need a plan that outlines who is going to do the work and what they will do. Paul has some good ideas along this line. For example Public Works already has the mulch that is needed. Last month we talked about organizing volunteers to take care of the gardens. I think that is the only workable answer. I had an occasion to talk with Nancy A. Then she completes her Master Gardener training, she can provide us guidance and the volunteers guidance on what needs to be done. Please discuss this item and expand on the plan. February skating party 2. Paul has some interesting ideas on doing the on the lake. Sounds like great fun to me.Please give this consideration. Think safety first. Yoga-in-the-Park 3. Thia Cassanova has offered to do again. She did this last year as part of Fete des Lacs at Hidden Spring Park late in the afternoon after the runs and parade. She ask that we include her event in our advertising. I agree to do that. Please approve this event with the understanding that it is a free event open to all who want to participate.
