PARK LANDSCAPING – MOLLY LESNIKOWSKI
Molly Lesnikowski president of the Beautification Committee was present and handed out copies of drawings of landscape ideas for the new recreation park. She stated these are just ideas and we are trying to get everything organized. We are offering to do amenities and these are speculative ideas. We would like to put in curbing before the gravel is put down. Mayor Knight stated the contractor needs to be completely finished before they can do anything. Molly said that Marty Boyd’s recommendation was to finish tennis courts, then the curbing and gravel and anchor the courts to the front. I don’t think that eliminates any parking. She stated we will pick up cement circular to match the existing one. She said it is 800 feet and a 6 X 6 curb that would match the old school. Ed Hogan said it will separate grass from parking material. They informed the council that the Beautification committee wants to do this and is not asking the City for any money. Mayor Knight stated they all needed to meet with the engineer. Molly stated they would bring back plans before anything is finalized.

He said that the sewer lines and lift stations would be scheduled to be cleaned hopefully before the budget year is over. He informed the council that Carter & Sloop were in the process of preparing drawings for a bar screen for the sewer pond A bar screen eliminates large objects from entering the pond and stopping up the aerators.
