1. MEMORIAL TRAIL: The trail has been completed from the Memorial Pool Parking lot through the southern end of Buxton Park. IMU has completed their electrical conversion from the power poles that in conflict with the trail however, we anticipate delays because Qwest and Mediacom have not removed their equipment from electrical poles east of Buxton Park.
2. AG DEFERMENT: We received an ag deferment request for the North “Y” Street paving project (packet) on Monday. The property owner was not aware that they had to request an exemption until they received the final assessment. This will be placed on the May 17th council agenda. Staff will recommend approval of the request.
3. AMPHITHEATER: Grading has started and is approximately 75% complete. Due to rain, the project is 2-3 days behind schedule. Storm water piping, wall footings and retaining walls are to be completed by May 12.
The Parks & Recreation Commission will have a groundbreaking ceremony on Saturday, May 15, 10:00 a.m. so please save this date. Invitations and publicity will be going out on May 3.
