East Park Master Park Plan: Enclosed is the final document for the East Park plan. The Park Board held
an open house on Sept. 24,2018. One resident attended and suggested adding a bike rack at the park.
Staff can add a bike rack when the parkway and canoe area are constructed. The document is intended to
be an addendum to the 2008 Master Park Systems Plan. The Park Board recommends final adoption by
council.
East Park Reforestation/Prairie Development: The Park Board reviewed two proposals to begin the
reforestation and prairie development in East Park. There was a large difference in the quotes. The lower
quote is a local company that helped the city reconstruct the Klinefelter ponds. Staff compared the quotes
and the suggested processes. Staff and the Park Board recommend acceptance of the low quote from
PrairieScapes for a three year in the amount of$23,200. Funds will come from the park dedication funds
paid by Arcon when Country Manor began construction.

Subject: Buckthorn removal quote
Terry-
Attached are three separate maps outlining the approximate locations where the buckthorn/honeysuckle removal will
take place.The buckthorn/honeysuckle will be mowed where accessible and hand cut around reserve trees and
inaccessible areas.Cut stems will be treated with herbicide to prevent re-sprouting. In a few select areas,where the
bank is very steep the buckthorn will be treated with herbicide at the base of the stem and left in place.
Siberian elms will be removed within the shelterbelt tree rows,these areas are not shown on the maps but is included in
the below quote.The Siberian elms will be cut and burned onsite this winter when adequate snow cover is present.
Quote for Siberian elm removal/burning and buckthorn mowing/cutting and stump treatment:
$24,853
Follow-up foliar treatment of buckthorn seedlings to be completed fall of 2019:
$5,000
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.
