Chairperson Shryock commented that GoAnokaCounty is a good resource for the public and asked if we could have a computer and screen available for that and to have parks and trail maps available as we usually do. Chairperson Shryock also commented about a couple new resources we have available such as The Tributary and asked if we have any drawings and maps of the North Commons area that we could show people. Chairperson Shryock also stated the CIP booklet is always a good reference to have on hand. Parks Supervisor Riverblood stated he is going to organize some of those things as a PowerPoint if the Commission is agreeable to that. Park and Recreation Commission/April 12, 2012 Page 3 of 5
