B. Discuss place for KKB's wildflower placement in Sonora Park. Staff would like the Board
to know as well as the citizens that the area will only be mowed during the summer months
as this is a wildlife area so staff will only mow around the area. Will be at least a 10x10
area to grow over the years. Jeff 'Nevarez asked that we place it around the Disc Golf
between holes one and two. Or another spot would be along the walking trail between
sidewalk and the cattle fence, mostly sunny and there is a bench there as well. Glenn
Shark, Alan Pederson, and Michael Chandler think the bench in that area is a great place
to put these flowers. Jeff Nevarez will motion and Glenn Shark to second to recommend
the spot to KKB, Motion passed unanimously.
