“Creating Community Through People, Parks, and Programs”
Date: 1/14/09
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Barry Bernstein, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Wetland Health Evaluation Program
I have enclosed a formal document for your review and if authorized, the Mayor’s signature.
This agreement for the Wetland Health Evaluation with Dakota County is a project that the
City of Hastings has been involved with for several years, but until recently, this
arrangement did not have any formal agreement for this program.
The program consists of volunteers that monitor City of Hastings wetland areas to assess
their health. The healthier the wetland area, the healthier the groundwater is and
therefore, it is felt that it is important to continue this work. To investigate further on the
outstanding work these volunteers have done, please refer to the 2007 Parks and
Recreation Annual Report under the Parks Section to see the 2007 results.
I am recommending to the City Council that we enter into this agreement once again in
2009.
Thank you!
