eight and five applicants for the Wednesday classes. Jane Kawasaki told of the two
new ponies (Norwegian Fjord) acquired for the program. Val Metcalfe and Jane Kawaski
have arranged for the two' slots in Byrne Preserve for our use. Jimmy showed a drawing
of the 'TUFF SHED' he will purchase for our use. The shed is a wooden structure in the
design of a duplex to be shared by Westwind Barn and Parks & Recreation. There is a
partition with totally separate locks so that we will not commingle the space...its cost was
$1700. Registration for YRRP is slow, but Jimmy will work with the Barn personnel to
firm the program.
BULLIS FIELDS renovation will be done by COLONY for the initial amount of $4000
per field and monthly irrigation cost of $190-$250 thereafter. Council's decision was to
send a representative from P & R and Town staff along with Mayor Emily Cheng to meet
with the school district in regard to our proposal for the Bullis Fields.
Jimmy announced that applications for all our programs are now available on the town
site under P & R.
PATHWAYS RUN is happening May 8. Rebecca volunteered to be a spotter at the run.
