Nelson Committee:</B> Grans recapped written report that was submitted. Sister City connections should be pursued re: participation in park/art. Boom Island Park and Nelson park should be viewed as one site. Groundwork may be getting intern to assist with exploring options for funding and renovation. No luck so far getting movement on signage. Rainville said Parks Commissioner Dziedzic is open to this; need to get design proposal ready. Temporary signs could be in place for up to two years. Mayslack's fundraiser opportunity if coming up later this month; volunteers will be needed - details to come.
