He stated the parks look <br />great. He walked a lot of the infields and outfields in Central Park. He wanted to commend the <br />staff and ground crews for all-of their work. He stated it really surprised him that some of the <br />kids in the parks were from other cities. He thought their parks were the best in the area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds noticed on County Road 5, north of City Hail, they are starting to put in <br />trails. He wondered how the trail would be addressed by the culvert. He wondered if there <br />would be an easement put in. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton stated he was not sure at this point how they will address that. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ostrum asked what the impact will be on bituminous with the fuel costs going up. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood stated the bids coming in have been higher and he did not <br />know if this was because of fuel costs going up or not.' <br /> <br />Cormnissioner Shryock stated she has noticed there has been a lot of tree removal with <br />development of trails. She wondered how this affected things. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer ~[ Linton thought most of the trails were in the right-of-way so usually the County <br />wants this to be a clear zone. They are not just clear cutting trees. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock thought they needed to have the trail open by the school but she <br />wondered if they had more leeway elsewhere where they could keep some of the trees and move <br />the trail over or around the ta'ees. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/April 14, 2005 <br /> Page 8 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
