Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> Meeting Minutes 08-05-09 <br /> <br />committee would like more information concerning this issue and the warranty. Ms. Stephan will <br />pass that request onto Mr. Palzer. <br /> <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 /> <br />Bids to Treat Ash Trees at Hidden Spring and City Hall for Emerald Ash Borer <br /> <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 /> <br />VI. UPDATES <br /> <br />Fete des Lacs 8K Run <br /> <br />An email update from Committee Member Branch: <br /> <br /> <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 /> <br /> <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 /> <br /> <br />3.Our course is now certified. The start line, mile markers and finish line are as we had <br />planned. <br /> <br /> <br />4.Tom Lee is still working the volunteers. We are counting on all of you. <br /> <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 /> <br />An email update from Barb Leininger who certified the course: <br /> <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 I get it. Let me know if you have any questions. <br /> <br />Included in your packet is a copy of the course map and the certificate. <br />4 of 6 <br /> <br />
