HomeMy WebLinkAboutCCDATE=SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 (7) Carl Missele noted that one burn is included in 2009 and that to be successful in getting rid
of invasive species five years of burns would be needed from what has been communicated
to him. He also noted that the parking is important for use of the Nature Center. There
currently are only about 5 paved parking spaces.
Paul noted that experts say a minimum of three years of burns is required to be successful.
Each year the cost would decrease.
It was noted to add burns to the five-year plan for 2010 and 2011.
Scott Palmer asked what the cost difference is between use of eco pavers and asphalt. Paul
noted the recent increase in cost of asphalt. Eco pavers are still a little more costly but allow
water to seep down into the ground.
Karen Sauter suggested that it is better to install a `bubble up' aerator to oxygenate the pond.
Randy noted that is the type of aerator being looked at.
Paul noted that an entryway sign off Randall Road needs to be included in the plan for 2009
at cost of approximately $10,000. He also communicated that the permit application should
be moved up a year due to the length of time required to get through the permitting process.
