Parks&Recreation Committee <br /> Meeting Minutes 08-05-09 <br /> committee would like more information concerning this issue and the warranty. Ms. Stephan will <br /> pass that request onto Mr. Palzer. <br /> Motion was made by Chairperson Seeley, seconded by Committee Member Branch to <br /> recommend City Council consider the installation of an irrigation system by Albrecht <br /> Irrigation in the amount of$6,884.00 to be installed at Hidden Spring Park in 2009 funded by <br /> Parks& Recreation funds. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Bids to Treat Ash Trees at Hidden Spring and City Hall for Emerald Ash Borer <br /> Mr. Paul Palzer, Public Works Director, supplied the committee with two (2) bids to treat the Ash <br /> Trees at Hidden Spring Park and behind City Hall for Emerald Ash Borer. The committee <br /> reviewed the information and has the opinion that while they would not like to lose any of the <br /> mature trees, there is not enough information available that the treatment is even effective and feel <br /> this is a maintenance issue that should decided by the Public Works Director and City Council. <br /> VI. UPDATES <br /> Fete des Lacs 8K Run <br /> An email update from Committee Member Branch: <br /> 1. We are now a fully sponsored event. OSI Physical Therapy has joined the team of <br /> sponsors. OSI will fill in the last of our known needs by providing sports drinks and a <br /> snack at the finish line. They will also provide and man a canopy at the finish line. <br /> 2. Kevin Amundsen and I have been passing out flyers where we hope it will have the <br /> greatest impact. We now have about 75 pre-registered runners and can expect some to <br /> walk-in on race day. <br /> 3. Our course is now certified. The start line, mile markers and finish line are as we had <br /> planned. <br /> 4. Tom Lee is still working the volunteers. We are counting on all of you. <br /> Conclusion: I am finally optimistic that we are going to achieve our goal of hosting a first class 8K <br /> running and walking event associated with Fete des Lacs. <br /> An email update from Barb Leininger who certified the course: <br /> Everything went well. Your start and finish are pretty much where you wanted them. They are <br /> marked in white paint along the route, as are the miles 1, 2, 3 and 4. I have attached the official <br /> course map. I am mailing in the certificate application today and will forward the certificate to <br /> you as soon as 1 get it. Let me know if you have any questions. <br /> Included in your packet is a copy of the course map and the certificate. <br /> 4 of 6 <br />
