Great weather has helped. Honoring All Veterans Memorial-Memorial Day Ceremony: May 30, was very well-attended. Action Items Friends of Wood Lake Board Appointment Thompson moved, seconded by Engeldinger, to appoint Mary Oakland to the Friends of Wood Lake Board for a three-year term. Approved, ayes all. Discussion Items Emerald Ash Borer Response Plan Public Works Superintendent Link presented the City’s approach to treating, removing, and replacing diseased trees on the boulevard, as well as the approach to diagnosing trees on private property and recommending tree contractors. He noted the areas with the highest concentration of ash trees, saying that some removals will be necessary, but none will be treated this year. He said that the approach is to minimize the impact on the overall ash tree stock. Design for Park Monument Signs Topitzhofer presented some design ideas, including large signs like the one at Wood Lake, and smaller signs similar to the ones in place now, but made of composite material. Link said that a third option would be to renovate the existing signs. Thompson and others preferred the simpler design, similar to what is in place. By consensus, the group also wanted to consider the renovation idea. Topitzhofer said that he would bring prices and plan options for renovation or new similar signs. Cintron de Nunez suggested that park ordinances and warnings be displayed prominently on or near the new signs. Committee Reports Transportation Commission: Felgate provided the report. Friends of Wood Lake: Engeldinger provided the report. Arts Commission: Rudolph provided the report. Friendship City Commission: Topitzhofer provided the report.
