,(.r Al <br /> Item #: 9.L'` . 1e <br /> ityof _/ <br /> .lk River MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Park and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Michele McPherso k, irector of Planning <br /> DATE: January 31, 2000 <br /> SUBJECT: 2000 Volunteer Appreciation Event: Gagne <br /> Park Clean-Up <br /> Request <br /> At the January 8, 2000 retreat, the consensus of the Commission was to have a <br /> "project" for a volunteer appreciation event as opposed to a dining event. Gagne Park <br /> was identified as a possible location for such a "project". <br /> Attachments <br /> • Location Map <br /> II • May Calendar <br /> Overview <br /> Gagne Park is located north of and adjacent to the Elk River. The park totals <br /> approximately 48 acres and is currently undeveloped. Access to the park is gained via <br /> Waco Street. Homes border the east and north sides of the park. As with any open <br /> space, the park has been used as a "dumping ground" for neighboring properties. <br /> Issues <br /> The following tasks should be completed prior to any event occurring at Gagne Park: <br /> 1. Identify a date (I assume this will be a Saturday event?) <br /> 2. Locate north and east property lines to avoid trespass. This has not been <br /> done; this would be an eligible activity under the CIP ($10,000 for <br /> improvement in unimproved parks) <br /> 3. Notify homeowners to remove private property from the park or it will be <br /> removed on the date of the event. <br /> 4. Walk the site to identify needed equipment (what size is the trash?) and <br /> possible projects (tree removal) <br /> 0 5. Identify possible groups to invite. <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
