Commissioner Sis inquired whetherthe City has resources for an email campaign or text <br />messaging. <br /> <br />Recreation Specialist Mohr noted there is a City calendar on the website. Residents can <br />subscribe to the calendar, and an email notification can be sent out. A new registration system <br />has also been established this year so that all emails are now being collected into the system, and <br />a master list could be created. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bayer suggested looking into advertising to folks who do not go on the City <br />website or are not on Facebook, such as distributing flyers at National Night Out. <br /> <br />Commissioner Barnes asked about the Commissioparticipation in Happy Days. <br /> <br />Chair Bennett noted he typically spends a couple of hours in the booth at some point during the <br />day. <br /> <br />Commissioner Barnes stated she is available to serve on that day. <br /> <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood noted he will send out a reminder to <br />the Commission, so that Commissioners can respond with availability to staff the city booth. <br /> <br />Resident Carlyn Erion stated she has been looking at the bluebird houses around the city, and <br />they are in terrible condition. She has had an ongoing email chat with Parks & Assistant Public <br />Works Superintendent Riverblood about the state of the houses. She is interested in spear- <br />heading a re-establishment of that habitat and giving some feedback or input on what can be <br />done. <br /> <br />Chair Bennett asked about the history of the bluebird houses. <br /> <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood indicated there is no documented <br />history, as so many folks have been involved over the years, from Eagle Scouts to various local <br />residents. He suggested inviting volunteer participation. <br /> <br />Chair Bennett concurred, and suggested creating an event where volunteers can build the houses. <br /> <br />Ms. Erion stated part of the bluebird recovery project includes doing egg checks, recording who <br />is in the nest, along with all other sorts of educational opportunities. <br /> <br />Commissioner Barnes suggested distributing some information at Happy Days about the bluebird <br />house project. <br /> <br />Chair Bennett commented that may be a tight timeline, but certainly the Commission will look <br />initiating the project, possibly at the October meeting. <br /> <br />6.
