6 <br /> <br />There is a bench on the Pike Lake trail that is new and very nice. It was <br />another Scout Project. <br />Hansen: Fields. No Report. <br />Hidden Oaks: Quade. Park looks great. Have good memories from the <br />park as a child. <br />Innsbruck: Axberg. Did not get a chance to check it out. She will send a <br />note if there is anything to be concerned about. Her daughter commented <br />there were kids smoking at Freedom this morning. Public Safety was <br />involved. <br />Meadow Wood: Eischen. It really looks good. All the grooming done, <br />looks really nice. Basketball court and gazebo are being used. It is nice to <br />see people enjoying the park. <br />Silver Oaks/Totem Pole: Justin. Have not been to Silver Oaks in a few <br />weeks. Previously the park was rarely used. Now it is used more and <br />more. Retaining wall needs to be updated, leaning. Totem Pole, basketball <br />court always used. Tennis court used much more. Fencing (north) around <br />the ballfield in need of repair. Heavily used park. <br />Sunny Square/Vermont: McEathron. No Report. <br /> Veterans: Stenglein. No Report. <br /> <br />D. Department Happenings / upcoming events <br /> Acting Director Hicks commented that there have been improvements <br />on the medians with the placement of new mulch. It looks very nice. <br />The project took place with staff from all departments. <br /> Lions Park playground was approved and will be installed in late <br />August or early September. It will be a community build. <br /> August 8th is the 2nd of two ice cream socials that are taking place with <br />our youth sports programs. <br /> Coming up is the Labor Day closure week at the NBCC, this includes <br />the demolition of the old Eagles Nest playground. The new Eagles <br />Nest should be ready for play sometime in November. <br />Commissioner Justin gave a shout out to the Eagle Scout projects right here at <br />Veterans Park. The two roofs over the dugout area were added. Would like to <br />thank staff member Mike Schute who came with his family on a weekend to help <br />at the park. Another Eagle Scout project was work around the pond, including <br />tree planting, at Veterans. There has been much done in the parks by the <br />Scouts. Agree with the comment earlier to have the scouts come forward and <br />explain their project to the commissioners. <br /> <br />VIII.
