They discussed what they would like to see in the Park and what they do not want to see in the Park. The next meeting is scheduled for March 21 in the Patrick Maher room. Chair Belvin asked what projects on the list would be done on Parks Appreciation Day. Mr. Gerwen said that they would work on the bull rail fencing, spreading woodchips and bark; there will be plenty of projects for the volunteers. He is anticipating 150 volunteers at that site. There is not funding allocated to this specific project. Funding will come out of the Parks Operations Budget. Some of the items on the list will need to wait until more funding is available. g:\parks comm mtg notes\2019\03-07-2019 minutes.doc Parks and Recreation Commission March 7 2019 Page 2 Parks Appreciation Day Update Parks Appreciation Day is scheduled for April 27 9:00am-12:00PM.
