Progress has been great in Morningside Park. The dead trees have been
cut down, other trees have been trimmed up, grass has been mowed, it looks
great. We are sending a thank you note to the Maintenance workers regarding
their work in Morningside Park.
Vandalizing of the archery area -everything has been taken from archery
area -maybe it was in need of repair.
House on Millstream property: A recommendation was made to demolish/fire
department fire exercise to have the house removed. Bob Loso will check
to see if it is a log house, but the Historical Society is not interested
in it as they have a log house. If the house is removed, the park board
is making a suggestion of a possibility to expand the parking lot in that
area.
