OLD BUSINESS
5-a. Discussion -- Facility Landscaping/Kenai Police Department
The Committee spoke briefly regarding the Kenai Police Department landscaping
project. After a discussion concerning soil conditions and potentials of watering
schedules and sunlight, the Committee agreed a hearty shrub-type plant would be
best suited for the area in mind. The Committee unanimously agreed for Director
Frates to make the final decision on the type of shrub to be planted, but a cotoneaster
or similar shrub was encouraged°
5-b. Discussion- Banners
Director Frates reported no new developments had been made regarding the banner
project. The Committee spoke briefly of the high expense of new banners and
considered the possibility of obtaining 'business sponsors' for new banners. Member
Tunseth stated she would bring this idea to the attention of the Chamber of
Commerce. Additionally, Members Nelson and Hett offered their help in researching
new contractors to make banners.

7-a. Committee Chair -- Chairman Dimmick stated her concern regarding
the new projects and additional responsibilities the Committee was acquiring. The
Committee briefly discussed the added areas and the impact these additions will have
on weeding and watering schedules.
7-b. Parks/h Recreation Director-- Frates reported on the following:
· The policies and procedures manual for the Leif Hansen Memorial Park
had recently been reviewed and suggested modifications made. Frates briefly reviewed
the suggested changes and additions. Dimmick suggested adding wording to
Procedure No. 7, "as was originally intended" to avoid the idea the policy is a new
policy.
· Eleven new Christmas (pole) decorations were ordered and fourteen old
decorations are scheduled for refurbishing prior to use.
