Staff Reports a) Park Improvements and Updates Linda Moore, Recreation Manager, shared Chuck Smith, Parks & Facilities Superintendent, and Parks crew member Jeff Napier did a fantastic job completing a screening project around the back kiln room at the Art House. They designed and built the screening to be unobtrusive and slightly mirror the outside cladding on the new Arts Center. The result is amazing and a great upgrade to the aesthetic look of Lake Concord Park at a substantial cost savings to the City. Additionally, she shared that annuals were planted and new mulch was installed at the Promenade at Lake Concord Park. Also, a new non -motorized boat launch will be installed to provide public access to Secret Lake and another boat launch will be installed at Sunset Park to access Lake Concord but it will be for City use only. b) Recreation Events and Arts Updates Linda Moore shared upcoming events.
