CIP/Project/Facility Updates
 

• Birdloop – big planting, first Saturday in December
   
• Community Garden – Would like to get owl boxes for the garden.  Michael suggested Laura contact Eastside Audubon directly.  In 2018, MCGA has donated 7000 pounds of food to HopeLink!
   
• Sound Transit - Parks and Sound Transit have been working together on an ongoing basis on Tree Replacement, Wetland Mitigation, Osprey nest relocation.   Nothing is different  The wetland mitigation is likely to be done in the field area a bit south of the Rowing Club access road.  Norah’s belief was that access to the mitigation site would be explicitly disallowed.  Greg believed it should be possible.  Norah will try to find out the rules.
  
  Norah is working with Sound Transit on just how many trees will need to be replaced.  Norah is prioritizing (1) additional trees screening the rail right-of-way, and (2) [hopefully large] trees around the mansion.  Norah would also like planting to start soon, even before trees are cut.
   
• Cut-through Traffic – Until a longer-term solution is determined, increased enforcement of existing rules will be conducted.  Greg requested that additional data gathering on cut-through traffic be part of the increased enforcement effort.
   
• Dudley Carter Sculptures –  In Place!  one more linseed oil treatment for each.  Norah wished for input on signage; she was suggesting a minimalist:  Piece title, year (if known), artist.  Greg suggested information going on the website.  Laura suggested an informational sign on the kiosk in the Pet Memorial Garden.
