Acting Director Hicks stated he did receive e-mail <br />from Commissioner Quade, but he forgot to bring it. <br />Innsbruck: Axberg. There has been graffiti on the playground (tunnel <br />piece) and missing shingles on the roof. There was soccer practice and <br />kids playing on the playground. Soccer field boundaries were marked. <br />Field is heavily used. <br />Meadow Wood: Eischen. Couple of lights are burned out on the north side <br />next to the trail that enters the park. The park looks great. People are out <br />enjoying it. It gets dark earlier so the lights are important. <br />Silver Oaks/Totem Pole: Justin. Visited both parks yesterday. It was the <br />first time that no one was at either of the parks. It was about 4:30pm. <br />Silver Oaks retaining wall needs to be looked at. The park looks good. <br />Had the Mites soccer goals there. Tennis court is an ongoing issue. As he <br />was leaving someone was coming on to use the basketball court. Fencing <br />should be looked at before the next baseball season. There is a tree <br />growing out of the gutter. Don’t want it to get too big! Te nnis courts are <br />being used more. <br />Sunny Square/Vermont: McEathron. Looked at Vermont. It was quiet as <br />usual. Looks like some brush had been cleared out. It definitely cleaned it <br />up. Sunny Square looked good.

It did make a big improvement <br />on that property. <br />Veterans: No report. <br />D.
