Chair Report: The accessible parking space in Northland is formed up and we are just
awaiting the concrete. The bid from Kurt Schneider had come in at about half

Memorial Park skating park hours 8:00 am - 9:00 pm and create a sign stating
these hours (Muske, Lesnick). Motion approved unanimously. Kyle will order
the sign. Marge will talk with Mike about the light timer.

parks before winter.

story. Marge will invite the skateboarders with whom she has been working.
*Note: if we order srnaller pieces in the future, we need to specify that the
