Commissioner LaMere said he could attend early in the morning as <br />well. <br />Vice Chair Johns advised since some larger projects are being worked on, it may be helpful to <br />share some of the positives with the community. <br />Commissioner LaMere suggested a self -guided display be created. <br />Commissioner Shryock suggested displaying a map of the parks for the new residents, possibly <br />in poster form. <br />Commissioner Rolfe noted there had been some 11"x17" City maps available at one time that <br />residents could pick up, as well as some aerial photos. He questioned if Staff has the time and <br />availability to put a display together. <br />Parks/Utilities Commissioner Boos responded Staff could create something and possibly use <br />something that's been displayed in the past. <br />Commissioner LaMere questioned whether it is a good use of the Commissioners' time to staff a <br />self -guided booth. <br />The consensus was there are not enough available Commissioners to staff the booth. <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos suggested the Commissioners stop by the booth to answer any <br />questions as they attend. <br />Case #7 Compare School District #11's 2002 — 2003 Walker Route to the City's Trail <br />and Sidewalk System <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos explained the purpose of this case is to examine the potential <br />deficiencies in the city's sidewalk and trail system around the Elementary Schools.
