Commissioner Vassar arrived later at Manor Park. 1. MANOR PARK Seventeen residents were in attendance to discuss the condition of the pond and what could be done to clean it up. It was mentioned that after the Parkview Crossing subdivision was built the pond in that subdivision seemed to have an affect on the pond at Manor Park. The residents are wondering what can be done to clean up the pond and what long term options can be done. The pond is smelly, gurgling and it is the worst it has been in 13 years. One resident suggested checking into an organic company that would infuse bales of hay. Public Works Director Brown explained that it is very expensive to dredge the pond. When asked how to get this on the list to look at he explained that the City Council would have to give staff direction and come back to the council with solutions and options of improving the quality of the pond and its long-term solutions. It was explained the residents can attend a park meeting or city council meeting any time. They would be able to voice their opinion during the agenda section called “Matters from the Floor.” Several residents complimented Public Works on the maintenance of the park and how nice it looks. Public Works Director Brown also gave thanks to the Babcocks as they have spruced up items within the park and provide on-going care of all the plants. Other suggestions the residents had are:  Take down obsolete flyers in bulletin board  Add a perimeter walking path around the park.  New mulch or gravel around the building  Couple elm trees are dying near the pond  Spiff up the restrooms  Lights on the shelter are flickering – can this be fixed  Stripping the parking lot – this will be done this year  Cleaning up the 5 corners – groom up to the asphalt Continuing the tour of Manor:  Trim brush by back fence of tennis court  Check on converting the court for two pickleball courts instead of a joint pickle ball/tennis court. 2.
