Council Chamber
II. OPEN FORUM
Mr. Jeff Strate addressed Council on Edenvale Park and Forest Hills Park concept plans.
Strate said he is concerned that senior citizen, low income, and immigrant park users may
not have been considered when developing the plans for Edenvale Park. He asked
Council to ensure that proper consideration is given to these users before approving the
final plans. Strate also suggested that the City consider removing buckthorn from the
western edge of Forest Hills Park as part of the renovation project.
Mr. Basil Wissner said as a citizen he feels obligated to help the City rid itself of the
problem deer and geese populations. He asked what he as an individual can do to help.
