Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 3 March 13, 2019 ----------------------------- numbers are high and in his experience conducting a deer population count when they believe numbers are low which help confirm to not hunting. Chair Anderson stated he’d love to have the data and we have the people out there hunting who corroborate the numbers and have a hard time spending the money. Commissioner Niziolek thinks it’s imperative to have a starting number and to do justice to the deer population. Chair Anderson asked to bring this item up next year as a discussion during the park improvement budget cycle. 9.3 Woodland Trails Regional Park Nature Playground Mr. Hecker shared his staff report. Chair Anderson would like to invite other commissioners and public to the next Woodland Trails Regional Park Grant Committee meeting. Council member Wagner asked where the money will come from for the well and trails and reminded that those budgets will be brought to council and trails should be part of the overall cost and currently not listed in budget. Chair Anderson said at this stage to define all the costs and build in 2020. We have a half a plan, move construction and give us time to complete design process and create the budget and get local volunteers in community to donate items for the building before park is built. This is a rallying point for the community to come together. 10.
