Hamilton Greenbelt Bird Blind
Steve Vigus and Katie Vigus put up the game camera and Bill Freas and Tom Sidwa added branches to the bird blind berm.
They were joined by Kathleen Christensen and Carl Christensen putting the cedar logs up around the water tank.
We used bungie cords to help hold the logs in place. We did a clean-up of the area and hauled the debris out with
the Kubota supplied by the City of Lakeway.

City Park Wildflower Meadow
Carol Linn and Bernie Reding removed a dead Agave and vines around rocks near the pipe gate on Hurst Creek Road.
They then moved to the south end of the park where they raised the canopy of trees adjacent to the Wildflower
Meadow and beyond so City workers can mow closer to trees. All trimmings were unloaded at an existing brush pile
where they will be picked up by the City or Friends of the Parks. Mike Light, using a walk-behind string trimmer,
mowed brush in the south end of the park then joined another crew installing an irrigation pipe line.

City Park Barnes Garden
Dan Moyer lead a crew to install 5 sections of 1" PVC pipe from the sidewalk to the distribution point
for the Barnes Garden. Using picks, matlocks and sharpshooter shovels the trench was dug and the 5 sections
were glued together and buried in the trench.
