On May 3, 2016, Mr. Touchette reported that there are new ruts and new graffiti 
on restrooms at St. Ellen. 
 
?     St. Clair County Parks Grant Commission: 
The usual completion of projects, requests for extensions and payment of invoices 
for Cycles 22 have been processed during the last month.  The St. Clair County 
Parks Grant Commission met on May 18, 2016 and voted to fund Cycle 23.  Cycle 
23 will be for “General” purposes with a $30,000.00 cap for each grant.  Notice of 
the Cycle 23 grant and grant applications will be sent out on June 1, 2016 with a 
return date of July 15, 2016. 
 
Mrs. Chartrand encourages each member to contact all parks that are in the County 
Board District and encourage them to fill out the SCC Parks Grant application for Cycle 
23.  On another matter we voted that we would send pizza out to Trinity Services.  I 
think it is a nice time now to do that again. 
 
Question asked we have talked about surveillance cameras for some of the parks would 
that be available?  Mrs. Chartrand said that we are still working on that right now.  There 
a r e  a  l o t  o f  t h i n g s  t h a t  w e  h a v e  t o  l o o k  into the location and going by the Sheriff’s 
Department recommendations.  Mrs. Wren said that the security cameras will be eligible 
for the new grant application coming out. 
 
Mr. Pruett reported with an update on the Dog Park.  We are scheduled to plant trees.  
He did get an email copy of the permit today.so we have a permit and that’s for the 
water to be used on the trees.  A water line will be extended across the street to water 
the trees and for the dogs.  Chairman Kern is going to put in a temporary water tank.  It 
will be set up off the highway temporarily.  The fence will probably not be put up for a 
while.  Let the trees get a start and then we will put a fence in maybe around July.  The 
grass looks pretty impressive. 
 
A motion was made by Mr. Mosley and seconded by Mrs. Grossmann Roewe to approve 
the Reports from Mrs. Wren and Mr. Pruett.  Motion passed unanimously. 
 
A motion was made by Mr.West and seconded by Mr. Sharkeyto adjourn.  Motion passed 
unanimously. 
 
Respectfully submitted,
