l � build up this park, the play strueture and possibly a shelter will then be centrally loeated. �• Ms. Fairbrother stressed that a shelter isn t m 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 relacated to the Acorn Creek Park Ms. Dorn mentioned some of the trees look like they are dying. �� U�date on Royal Meadows Park lmprovements Public Works has removed the slide at the Royal Meadows Park.

He is making each sign a little different frorn 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 ei�orts. It was determined that Friday night at bingo would be the best time to award both a plaque and a City shirt.
