Boating Improvement Grant- the Parks &Rec Dept. has received a Boating Improvement Grant to construct an additional geotube in Middle to North Lake Triplet canal this year (tentatively by February 2010). The initial geotube project was constructed in 2008. The City is also preparing an application (to submit this month) for the next grant cycle.
