<br />Mr. LeBlanc suggested planting trees along the trail easement, while Mr. Sweeney felt <br />some "clusters" oftrees would be appealing - especially at Laurie LaMotte Park, with <br />additional trees along the trail <br /> <br />Mr. Navin suggested that Mr. Larson contact a person with a spade by the March 1 st <br />meeting. Mr. Navin also felt that contacting the Soil and Water Conservation District <br />would be important. The Soil and Water Conservation District would take a look at how <br />the trees will match up with wind erosion, esthetic appearance, noise, wind protection, <br />etc. The Soil and Water Conservation District may have some funds available to <br />contribute. The budget for trees in the year 2000 is $7500. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson confirmed a date of March 1 st for having contacted someone with a spade, <br />and also contacting the Soil and Water Conservation District. <br /> <br />Mr. Navin estimated a :final completion date of June 1 st, 2000 for tree installation. <br /> <br />Benches/Trash Receptacles <br />Mr. Porter explained that he was absent from the last meeting, and wasn't quite sure of <br />what the committee was looking for. Mr. Porter will draw up a formal proposal and <br />submit it at the meeting in March. <br /> <br />General Lighting <br />Mr. Brown was absent from the meeting, so his goal of lighting will be discussed at the <br />March meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson questioned if Mr. Navin had an opportunity to speak with Mr. DeFoe on the <br />lights at Waterworks. Mr. Navin hasn't had an opportunity yet, but will before the March <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Landscaping <br />Ms. DeVine explained that she is waiting on a call from Jim Elling. Mr. Elling suggested <br />using edging instead of garden blocks. Since there is a limited budget of $5000, he felt <br />garden blocks would be very expensive. Ms. DeVine asked Mr. Elling to make some <br />suggestions, for which she is still awaiting his call. Ms. DeVine mentioned that the two <br />(2) memorial parks have bushes around the signs already, but need "cleaning up", and <br />possibly a few more flowers. The other parks have nothing under their signs. <br /> <br />Mr. Sweeney suggested contacting Joe Goetz of Goetz Landscaping. <br /> <br />Mr. Porter mentioned that Betsy Schilling offered her "Garden Club" to maintain the <br />landscaping around the park signs, adding this would be a great opportunity to get citizen <br />involvement. <br /> <br />Ms. DeVine is looking to have more information at the March meeting, with an <br />anticipated completion date in June. <br /> <br />2 <br />
