This is planned to be completed sometime in August. Motion by Commissioner Mayotte, second by Trustee Alexander, to approve the Consent Agenda. Motion carried. Miscellaneous Business 1. Lake Bluff Walking Trails –Equitz updated the committee on the trail by reporting that when mowing a path they found that there was some areas of brush that needs to be taken down. The tentative plan is for it to be completed in August. 2. Dog Park – The dog park is open and seems to be getting used daily. The key club is still working on getting donations for more benches. 3. Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan – The committee feels that we need to work on some of these ideas: A) Update Inventory B) Put in Pictures of our Parks C) On page 3 of the survey, we should delete purchase land portion.  D) Do a NEW survey with getting some professional assistance/recommendations. Ideas on how to get a larger response to the survey than we did the last time were discussed. Commissioner Van Buren asked if we could offer an incentive by offering a discount of classes if they returned the survey. Muszynski will check into this with Eileen Suhm. Adjourn – Motion by Commissioner Holm, second by Commissioner Mayotte, to adjourn the meeting at 7:22 pm. Motion carried.
