<br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />Meeting Minutes June 7, 2006 <br /> <br />is just the perennials that were planted last year. Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park jlower bed <br />looks terrible and needs to be completely redone. <br /> <br />Wood Duck Houses <br /> <br />Residents who have adopted the wood duck houses have reported they are unable to get into the <br />houses to clean them. Chairperson Peterson contacted Mr. Drew Johnson who said they had <br />difficulty with the design having a side door that opened, so they made the top removable with <br />the loosening of one screw. Mr. Johnson sent letters to all residents who adopted a wood duck <br />house informing them of the procedure. Included in the packet is the information Mr. Drew <br />Johnson sent to residents who adopted a wood duck house. <br /> <br />Updates per memo from City Administrator Larson: <br /> <br />CSAH 14 <br /> <br />P&Z will hold a public hearing on June 6, 2006 to consider a conditional use permit for work in <br />the jloodway to accomplish the relocation of part of Clearwater Creek. Their recommendation <br />will be on the next Council agenda. <br /> <br />We are still waiting on the cost estimate based upon 60% plan completion. We will have a better <br />estimate of the City's costs when that is received. We still don't have a definite answer of <br />whether the bikelpedestrian under crossing at Clearwater Creek is feasible. John Meyer, Finance <br />Director, attended a grant workshop June 5, 2006, to learn more about the Safe Routes to <br />Schools Program. <br /> <br />Old Water Tower <br /> <br />The old water tower was removed on May 24, 2006. We did allow the contractor to mobilize and <br />begin earlier than we should have, but we didn't expect the noise that resulted. Several noise <br />complaints were received, but concerns were mitigated by the fact that removal was completed in <br />one day. Remaining is the removal of a gate valve and capping the line that went to the tower. <br />Mr. Paul Palzer has a contractor lined up to complete this. <br /> <br />The Parks & Recreation Committee will begin planning as to what will be done with this park <br />next spring. <br /> <br />X.
