At the last meeting Mr. William Voght, Nursery Superintendent. told
us that the City was putting in a berm at Crest Lake Park. Mr. Krame
said he walked through and he felt it was accomplishing the purpose of
cutting the noise down from the traffic. Mr. Marek, Nursery Foreman.
noted it is very effective in sight. sound and for a picnic area in the
sout.heast section. The fountain has been removed, and we have a bid
from,a fountain company to put in a new'fountain at Crest Lake Park.
In time. it will be replaced. Mr. Alexander recommended the Beautifica-
tion Committee be given a chance to view one of like design after the
selection has been made, since the design of structure should be excel-
lent because the public expects perfection. Mr. Krame feels the berm
serves another purpose by ~eeping motorists from being distracted from
what is going on in the park as they are dr,iving.

Mr. Krame has been out to Edgewater Drive, and the grass is cut and
the shrubs are trimmed at the north end which looks very nice. At the
,last, meeting there was some discussion that the grass was turning brown.
however. as the Nursery Superintendent said. they were watering and only
time would prove it was coming along fine.
