Two <br />additional shows are scheduled. In addition, the food trucks have been popular. <br /> <br /> 4. Staff Updates – Mr. Paul Palzer <br /> <br /> a. 20-005b Park Maintenance List (trees, equipment, etc.) <br /> <br />Mr Palzer reported that the Public Works crew have completed a majority (about 2/3) of the tasks on this <br />list. Some painting left to finish and tree trimming needs to be completed. The scoreboard at LaMotte <br />Park needs repair/renovation. It has been mentioned that there is intent to have bike racks should be <br />installed in each park. <br /> <br />Eagle Park – there are many pine trees and some need to be removed and remainder need to be trimmed. <br />Also, the park entrance sign could use repainting. Mr. Palzer inquired what the committee's vision would <br />be for this park over next few years i.e. which trees to keep or cut down, develop a picnic area and other <br />enhancements. Condos abut this park and it might be a good idea to obtain feedback from the Condo <br />Association for their ideas. <br />Committee members would like to have the park boundaries surveyed, if needed. Add this item to the <br />September agenda. <br /> <br /> b. 20-009 Pleasure Rink Lighting <br /> <br />The pleasure rink is on the east side of the warming house. There is minimal lighting from a light at the <br />hockey rink and off a light in the parking lot. There is no electrical installed at this location, so there <br />was discussion of possibly using solar lights. Discussed option for installing power and hanging LED <br />lights on posts or an alternate option would be to add LED light strips under the ice (but may require a <br />liner). Mr. Palzer was asked for his recommendations and he suggested to run a light in the SW corner <br />of the rink; he will also investigate options and costs for this project. <br /> <br /> 5.
