Item #9.A.1. <br /> ity of <br /> 1k River <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Park and Recreatio Commission <br /> FROM: Michele McPherso irector of Planning <br /> DATE: June 14, 2000 <br /> SUBJECT: Leukemia Race - Post Race Review <br /> Commissioner Dave Anderson requested that the Commission discuss the <br /> Leukemia Race which was held in early May. It appears that the race organizer, <br /> instead of posting signs along the trail edges, chose to paint arrows and numbers <br /> on the trail surface itself. This was done contrary to the direction given to the <br /> organizer by staff as well as Commissioner Dave Anderson. The numbers and <br /> letters have since been covered with blacktop sealer, however, this will more <br /> than likely wear off eventually, revealing the white paint underneath. <br /> • Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends that the Commission discuss this issue and if it feels <br /> appropriate, direct staff to send a letter to the race organizer indicating that city <br /> parks would not be available to him in future years. The Commission could <br /> identify a length of time that this race could not be held in Woodland Trails Park. <br /> • <br /> S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PARKNREC\LEUKEMIA.DOC <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
