build up this park, the play structure and possibly a shelter will then be centrally located. Ms. Fairbrother stressed that a shelter isn't in the plans, and that if some day a shelter is built in the park, it could be placed on the other end. The CNN does not want a shelter. Mr. Larson questioned why the CNN is so against a shelter. Ms. Dorn explained that if the play structure is in the middle of the park, then all of the parents can see their children playing at the park. Also, the CNN was under the impression that the adults wanted to be away from the play structure. Mr. Navin felt it wouldn't hurt to give the public one more chance to voice their opinions. If no one voices an opinion, then the City will continue working with the CNN ideas. Mr. Porter questioned if the trees were relocated from Eagle Pass to Acorn Creek Park. Mr. March explained that 20 trees have been relocated to the Acorn Creek Park. Ms. Dom mentioned some of the trees look like they are dying. Update on Royal Meadows Park Improvements Public Works has removed the slide at the Royal Meadows Park. They haven't had time to repair the swing set yet, but hopefully when the street sealcoating is complete, they can get back to Royal Meadows to repair the swing. Mr. Porter mentioned the basketball hoop pole is really looking shabby. He asked if anyone would object to him going over to the park and painting the pole for the basketball hoop. Everyone felt it was a great idea, and commended Mr. Porter for his contribution to the park and city. Update on Signs at Royal Meadows, Acorn Creek and Eagle Parks Mr. March explained that the materials have been ordered. Mr. Houle has spent a lot of time just getting the right materials. He is making each sign a little different from the other, and it involves a lot of Mr. Houle's time. Mr. March would like to see some type of public recognition for Mr. Houle. Mr. March also brought up Mr. Blom for recognition. Mr. Blom drilled some 60 holes for the hockey rink boards. It was determined that a plaque would be a very nice symbol of recognition. Mr. Navin also suggested a City shirt. Mr. March felt the Fete des Lacs (City Celebration) would be a perfect opportunity to recognize Mr. Houle and Mr. Blom for their efforts. It was determined that Friday night at bingo would be the best time to award both a plaque and a City shirt.
