Mr. LeBlanc suggested planting trees along the trail easement, while Mr. Sweeney felt <br /> some "clusters" of trees would be appealing — especially at Laurie LaMotte Park, with <br /> additional trees along the traiL <br /> Mr. Navin suggested that Mr. Larson contact a person with a spade by the March 1 s <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 /> Mr. Larson confirmed a date of March 1 s for having contacted someone with a spade, <br /> and also contacting the Soil and Water Conservation District. <br /> Mr. Navin estimated a final completion date of June 2000 for tree installation. <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 /> General Lighting <br /> Mr. Brown was absent from the meeting, so his goal of lighting will be discussed at the <br /> March meeting. <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 /> 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 /> Mr. Sweeney suggested contacting Joe Goetz of Goetz Landscaping. <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 /> Ms. DeVine is looking to have more information at the March meeting, with an <br /> anticipated completion date in June. <br /> 2 <br />
