�j <br /> Elk of <br /> Memorandum <br /> River <br /> To: Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> From: Michael Hecker,Parks and Recreation Director <br /> Date: April 2,2014 <br /> Subject: Director's Report <br /> This report is a monthly highlight of our Department's activities informing the Commission <br /> on items related to collaborations, strategic planning, staff changes/ development, and park <br /> operations. <br /> Parks Maintenance Position <br /> Staff continues to review the 207 applications that were received and has narrowed the list to <br /> a workable number of first round interviews. We hope to start initial interviews in April. <br /> Houlton Property <br /> No changes on the Houlton Property update. <br /> We continue to work with the Conservation Fund to look for other sources of grant money <br /> for the Houlton property. The Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Conservation Fund does <br /> have a May 14`h 2014 deadline. We are currently holding off on renewing the LOI until we <br /> have a better sense of possible funding. <br /> Pinewood Golf Course <br /> Pinewood Golf Course will be closed for the 2014 season. The City is in litigation with the <br /> former owners of Pinewood Golf Course regarding the golf course purchase.Unfortunately, <br /> meditation has failed to resolve the matter and the case will be heard in court in September. <br /> At the advice of our legal counsel,the City Council has agreed to discontinue golf course <br /> operations pending the formal legal decision. We plan to maintain the course in a respectful <br /> state to ensure there is no long-term damage to greens or fairways so that it is relatively easy <br /> to return to a playable condition. <br /> 11111EBE0 11 <br /> N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2014\01-02-14 PRC Packet\Director's Report 4-2-14.docx NATURE <br />
