1. Roll Call and Introductions:
At 7:00 p.m. the meeting was called to order by Vice Chair Swanson
2. Comments from the audience:
Mr. Frewing addressed the Board about two issues. First he asked the Board to advocate
against a Fanno Creek Trail crossing on Hall Blvd with a short trail and bridge on Fanno
Creek Park north of the Library. He felt that there could be another route from the Senior
Center, south of the creek along the recently purchased property by the City (Shaltz
property) and then south along Hall Blvd.
Secondly, Mr. Frewing suggested that the Fanno Creek Trail segment from Bonita Road
along 74ffi Street to Durham Road should run along the railroad tracks, and if that is not
possible then the City should look into negotiating with property owners to obtain wetlands
where the trail could meander to Durham Road. The Board told Mr. Frewing that his ideas
would probably be explored in the upcoming Park System Master Plan process.

design.
8. New Ethics Law and how it affects the PRAB:
Mr. Martin informed the Board of the new Ethics Law. Although it will not, more than

more that $50.00 per year in any form, e.g. lunches, gifts, trips, etc. from any company or
person who may be dealing with City.
