meeting with Wayne Biessel tomorrow morning to wrap it up.

trail counters. They will count how many people use the trails with a time/day

accurate body count.
NEW BUSINESS
COMMUNICATIONS
A. Letter and proposal request from the National Park Foundation regarding the
Unilever Recycling at Work Sustainable Grants Program.
Ogle explained that they can purchase products made by Unilever and their
products are made from plastic that looks like wood. It might work out well using
their picnic tables and benches in some of the parks that have an arson problem.
B. Email regarding the Fort Abercrombie Master Plan.
Biessel stated the State Parks will be having a public scoping workshop on
December 6th at 7:00 p.m. at the Bayside Fire Station for anyone who has
concerns, interests, or looking into the future for Fort Abercrombie for what
should be done there for the next 15 br20 years. He also said they're probably
looking at a day use fee for the future. Another issue is parking and traffic flow
problems at Miller Point, and commercial use in the park. He encouraged
everyone to attend.
