Its really sad to see it in such disrepair. Its our citys diamond and i hatecthat its left to get so rough. Thank you. You have my permission to read my comment at the meeting. Thank you, Jill Pankow Submitter Pankow, Jill C 2620 Marquette Place Dubuque, IA 52001 563-580-2489 poohjcp@gmail.com Dubuque, IA 1 My name is Jordan Lattner. I currently live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa but I grew up in Dubuque and worked for the park department. I am here to thank those in a thankless job. What the park department does with what they have is admirable. Here in Cedar Rapids we do not have a city greenhouse and you can tell. The flowers and plants around the city are beautiful. Have they changed over the years? Yeah. And that is a good thing. I am happy to see Eagle Point Park returning to "its roots" of an oak Prairie and native plants. It concerns me when I see on Facebook, people without the knowledge of the park staff pulling flowers out of beds and pruning trees without city or park approval or education. We need to understand that not every park needs marigolds and petunias. Thank you for your service and listening. 0i Field of Dreams Movie Site fieldofdreamsmoviesite.com Dyersville, Iowa Where cinematic history and the spirit of baseball meet in the heart of Iowa.
