plan as presented by Roger Mack and made minor adjustments to
the plan presented. Roger Mack noted that the materials
necessary to complete the landscaping will not exceed the
budgeted amount.

file for detail.
Update on community recreation needs survey.
Assistant Administrator O'Neill informed the Parke Commission
that Decision Resources will begin surveying Monticello area
residents on Wednesday, July 29. He noted that Decision
Resources will be adding a few questions to the survey at no
extra cost to the joint group. He noted that the survey will
take a little bit longer to complete because of the number of
people on vacation this time of year. It is expected,
however, that the results of the survey will be available in
five to six weeks.
3. Other matters.
Dick Frie noted that the arboretum developed at East Bridge
Park Is a project that should not go unnoticed. He
recommended that a directional sign be located on Highway 25
and/or on Broadway to make people aware of the location of an
arboretum. Frie noted that many people that travel through
Monticello are interested in local pointe of interest such as
historic sites and arboretums.
Parke Commission discussed the scope of the duties of the
commission. It was the general consensus of the commission
that it should get Involved in beautification efforts such as
development of a shade tree program for the city. It was
suggested that this item be a topic of detailed conversation
at the next meeting of the Parke Commission and that
development of a potential shade tree planting program should
be discussed in the context of budget setting for 1993.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Assistant Administrator
