CC Regular Session 4. 3. <br />Meeting Date: 11/26/2013 <br />By: Mark Riverblood, Engineering/Public <br />Works <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Recognize Anoka Women of Today's Volunteer Contributions for Fox Park <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this presentation is to recognize Ramsey resident Brook Beaton's organizational accomplishments <br />on landscape improvements to Fox Park. Earlier this year, Ms. Beaton sought the city's approval to add appropriate <br />plantings in the park following Excel Energy's removal of the Scotch and Red Pine under the power line on the <br />south side of the park. <br />Since Brook met with the Park and Recreation Commission, she and the Anoka Women of Today raised over <br />$1,000 in plant materials with the help and donations from Green Valley Greenhouse, a Ramsey business <br />approximately one mile to the northwest. Following that her group commenced planting in the park, tallying over <br />100 hours of volunteer contributions. <br />If that were not enough, the Anoka Women of Today went on to commit to more community stewardship at Fox <br />Park through the city's Adopt -a -Spot program. Attached are several photos from the planting day, and the Anoka <br />County Union article on the group and their accomplishments. <br />Notification: <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Funding Source: <br />No funding is required, rather this presentation recognizes important donations of labor, shrubs and perennials for <br />Fox Park. <br />Recommendation: <br />Action: <br />No action is required. <br />'Before' and 'after' <br />Adopt -a -Spot <br />Sign planting <br />Group photo <br />Union article <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Grant Riemer Grant Riemer 11/20/2013 12:31 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 11/21/2013 03:35 PM <br />
