HAMMITT Bob <br /> From: ETTER John F <br /> To: SWANSON GRIBSKOV Laurie <br /> Cc: HAMMITT Bob; MEDLIN Johnny R; PLAMONDON Scott F <br /> Subject: RE: Washburn Park <br /> Date: Thursday, February 01, 1996 1:48PM <br /> Sorry to have not responded to this request earlier. I haven't contacted Mylie Carter because I lack an <br /> address and phone number for her. Can you supply that information so I can make contact? <br /> The status on this park, FYI, is that yesterday I started some irrigation system planning. It is our plan to <br /> have a design done in time to bid and become operational by the end of June, which we believe is the <br /> earliest that lack of water would contribute to further decline of existing trees. The planning for tree <br /> replacements can happen almost anytime, but the actual planting we would like to do in the late fall when <br /> the best selection, best prices, and best chances for survival prevail. The Urban Forester and I invite input <br /> from any "stakeholders" in the park concerning varieties of trees that are desired. <br /> --John <br /> From: SWANSON GRIBSKOV Laurie <br /> To: JENNINGS Carrie A <br /> Cc: ETTER John F <br /> Subject: RE: Washburn Park <br /> Date: Wednesday, January 17, 1996 11:40AM <br /> Hi Bob, <br /> Thanks for the update. Yes, I think it would be a good idea <br /> for John to contact Mylie and introduce himself. As a <br /> thought, he might also want to do it in writing and cc me so <br /> that Mylie is reminded that the City has been responsive and <br /> who to call, etc. That way if the Fairmount Neighbors say <br /> things are not happening, someone can send folks the copy of <br /> the correspondence and "game plan". <br /> Good Luck to John - and please keep me posted. <br /> Laurie <br /> From: JENNINGS Carrie A <br /> To: SWANSON GRIBSKOV Laurie <br /> Cc: ETTER John F <br /> Subject: RE: Washburn Park <br /> Date: Tuesday, January 09, 1996 8:59AM <br /> FROM: Bob Hammitt <br /> Mylie expressed the same concern to me when I spoke with her <br /> about getting the irrigation system replaced. I told her we <br /> would likely look at tree replacement as part of the design <br /> project. Our initial focus will be to simply get the <br /> irrigation replaced so we do not lose any more trees. It is <br /> likely that tree replacement would not be done until next <br /> fall, as that is the best time for planting with a good chance <br /> of survival. I explained to Mylie that there are a number of <br /> factors to consider; such as, which trees might best survive <br /> in those soil conditions, and whether or not we replace some <br /> of the dead trees as they were already overcrowded. I also <br /> told her that once we completed a draft design and began to <br /> think about some decisions regarding trees, we would contact <br /> her for some specific feedback.
