C. KidFish May 17, 2014 will begin at 8:00am- 12:00pm. Will send handout as soon as we
receive it to the schools to promote KidFish.
D. Splash Pad @ Sonora park has been cleaned and opened with no issues on May 1, 2014.
We've had issues with staining of water, with the ammonia in it, on the equipment that has
turned everything white. This will be a continuing effort to keep the Splash Pad looking
great and functioning properly.
E. Cub Scouts Sonora Park sleepover will be held June 9 -13, 2014 as usual. Still wanted to
let residents know that we must share the park and Splash Pad with the Cub Scouts. Cub
Scout leaders have a hard time expressing to the residents the safety issue in the Cub
Scouts being there.
F. Disk Golf Email proposal sent to Larry Hoover to expand the 9 hole Disc Golf to 18 hole
Disc Golf course. Stephen Brim requests that it not be anywhere near a right of way that is
not designated to the park. David Deaver mentioned it looks like it is right up against the
road. At this time Park Board will not approve the Disc Golf 18 hole expansion. We will
have a discussion with the Disc Golf Association to have a time /day blocked off to reserve
the park and /or advertise & bring portable baskets to make this an 18 hole course at that
event.
