<br />Chairperson Johns advised that Commissioner Hansen could go in with the later group and if <br />something were to conflict with his schedule, someone could stay from the early shift to help out. <br />She stated that herself and Commissioners LaMere and Shryock would take the early shift and <br />Commissioners Backous, Hansen, Barr, and Erickson would take the second shift. She advised <br />that those of them that take the early shift usually end up staying later anyway. She stated that it <br />seemed to be smaller and more condensed than prior years. She advised that she would send an <br />email to Commissioner Erickson to advise her of the schedule and asked that Civil Engineer <br />Linton do the same. She reminded everyone that the expo would be at the Municipal Center <br />from 8-1 and would include a tree sale and presentations. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer Linton advised that there would be two working watershed models along with a <br />tree house of horrors. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock stated that there would also be a drawing and advised that if you attend <br />one ofthe four presentations on rain gardens or landscaping you would be entered in a drawing to <br />win a tree.

She stated that when they have a street route that they want people to <br />use that they should mark that as a bike route so that until there is a full map, people would be <br />able to follow a bike route to connect with another trail. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood stated that they have done a little research at the staff level and the <br />concern was with no liability concerns with on street connections to trails. He advised that none <br />had been found. He advised that they could take Commissioner Shryock's concept and map it so <br />that people would be able to look for trails before they went out. He stated that it would be low <br />cost. He stated that they could divide the City into overlapping squares and map with that. He <br />advised that even with a map in hand you could still have trouble navigating when you get lost. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns stated that one thing that would have been easier for her is to know where the <br />business developments were and what the areas are zoned for. She thought it would be nice to <br />incorporate what they did at Cottonwood Park. She stated that if they knew that an area was <br />zoned for business it would be nice to incorporate that. so that they were able to get the <br />experience.

He thought that <br />the more they added to the map, the harder it would be to read. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns advised that she was just talking adding those things for planning purposes. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood stated that they City and the Park and Recreation Board would <br />continue to update as things go into the ground and then annually.
