III: OLD BUSINESS
1. 2009 SPORT Winter Goals:
a. Fishermen access: Don and Nathan continue to meet and Nathan presented a mock up of a possible map. Nathan brought samples of other maps for comparison. Don and Nathan will continue to research the best possible river presentation/map.
2. 2009 Spring Goal:
a. Fish stocking ¡V Water Quality report of NPP is complete. The reports recommends that re-stocking is necessary after a significant fish kill and that did not happen in ¡¥08/¡¦09 so no restocking will happen at this time. While I agree that a SPORT goal should be restocking, it is not accurate to say that restocking did not happen in 08 or 09, because the DOW did restock this pond a couple of times since the fish kill and have reported to me that these fish are growing nicely. The Town needs to supplement this stocking
3. 2009 Summer Goals:
a. Angler Mtn. Ranch connection to Ptarmigan Trail: The trail connection is complete, but there are still minor/miscellaneous issues to take care of. Michael and John will follow up.
4. 2009 Fall Goals:
a. Assist with selection of new playground equipment for Rainbow Park. This is a little premature. We will re-visit this following the decision on the Planning Grant we have applied for and the Master Plan Update.
b. Mini-Project for Make A Difference Day (October 10): Willow Grove Open Space trail around lake and new trailhead ¡V cleanup site and trail within guidelines of the Conservation Easement, consider removal of the fire pit and white landscaping rocks.

Members will plan to walk the Willow Grove and Ponds path prior to the October 10th clean up.
