CITIZEN'S REQUEST Marguerite Sauer Masson would like to donate $10,000 to the parks with a commemorative plaque to her parents. It was suggested that the arbor at Milton Street Park be designated for this bequest. The JMH replica birdhouse was presented to the owners of JMH. Photos are forthcoming. Children have requested more hills in the parks. Park Lover's Ball Auction Chair needs volunteers to solicit donor items from a random list. MILTON STREET PARK Dave Stanger presented drawings for second phase construction of Milton Street Park. Trees under the power lines will be moved and replaced by crepe myrtles. Arbor will have game tables. Concept: Tot play area with up to 5 creative playscapes, ocean theme and a quiet park. Modifications to irrigation system will be minor. Suggestions: replace flagstone with concrete and blank pavers (reduce cost). extend walkway around (tricycle path). fence the park (safety). Timeline: preliminary cost plans - 2-3 weeks. P&R Board Plan approval - Dec 7 for presentation to City Council on Dec 12. Cindy Sparkman will keep Stan McCanless and Tom Rushing informed. Ross Frazer noted it would impress the citizens of West University to have Milton Street done prior to the Park Lovers Ball, since 85%-90$ of our fundraising is generated from local sources and showing our accomplishments will help raise money.
