bag containers. It was decided to wait until spring on this
matter.
The board decided to have the parks sprayed for weeds
around March. Bob Gieseke is to be contacted in advance for his
convienence.

clearer if the board had a maP of the park to work off of. Gary

survey and is to include the approximate location of trees,
creeks, the monument, e.t.c..

Homestead Road park, Saturday, October 17, at 1:00, to record
any equipment needing repairs, possible new tree locations and
to clear out some of the plantings on the northwest corner of
the park.

Gary Brenner said the drainage ditch along Homestead Road
at the park needed to be graded again as it had been in the
past. Seasonal rains have washed out part of the southern end of
the ditch near the creek making it impossible to mow. The board
thought this could possibly wait uniil spring.
Bob Scudder suggested the board install four trees along
Homestead Road for shade and to replace the tree recently
removed where the park benches are at the Homestead Park. Types
of trees and sizes were discussed. Gary Brenner said he would
inquire with area nurserys on coats and installation and the
best time for planting- The board decided if the trees could be
obtained for $50-$60 each to go ahead and have it done.
