SHOREWOOD OAKS Commissioner Lindstrom went out to Freeman Park to look at the drainage ditch. He went into Shorewood Oaks and followed the ditch from the road.

SHOREWOOD OARS /FREEMAN PARK -TRAIL Commissioner Lindstrom also met with Don Zdrazil in Freeman Park and they went over the designated trail. Zdrazil estimated 1 day or less for use of the dozer. The Commission discussed combining dozing the trail with knocking down the berms but decided against it after discussing the fact that the dirt in the berms would be • too hard, whereas this is the best time to do the trails. Lindstrom moved, Christensen seconded, to recommend to Council that they approve the use of an independent contractor to use a bulldozer to cut walking trails through Freeman Park.
