Titterud Park Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood explained they pulled all the posts in the upper parking lot because they were not effective anymore and they cleaned up the area, reducing costs. Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood noted they had a fire to a portable toilet which caused damage to the court. Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood thought they should discuss the Playground replacement at another meeting on what should be done. He would like to see something unique. The Commission agreed. Chairperson Johns stated they would discuss this in October. Commissioner Lehman asked if there was any trail connecting this. Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood stated there is one currently connecting it and there will be another trail. They should eventually have a trail north and south along 156th Traprock Park Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood stated they ended up with a neighborhood project and all of the blight is gone now. Trott Brook Trail Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood noted they do not have a lot of Trott Brook Trail but they do have a lot of land for the trail. They just received appraisals regarding adjoining landowners for the easement. Chairperson Johns asked if they had a lot interest regarding this. Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood stated he did not get as much interest as the Commission would have liked. He had six inquiries and a couple that were seriously interested. He thought there was a lot of awareness though. Woodland Green Park Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood explained they previously discussed this with Bear Park which provided irrigation and parking for the park. The next step is getting trees along the boulevard. The balance will be applied to Bear Park. COMMISSION/STAFF INPUT Commissioner Ostrum wondered how the signs are going regarding the dog signs.
