Proposal:
The Dimensions will be as follows for what WILL be mowed at roughly 4 inches: Up to 34 feet from the Parland on the North side of the park. Up to 38 feet from Funston on the South side of the park. Up to 20 feet from Milton street on both sides of the street. Up to 160 feet from N New Braunfels Avenue. Up to 270 feet from the fountain on the Broadway end of the park. There will be 2 20 foot wide path mowed through the middle of the East end of the park to enable passage through the park and viewing of wildflowers. In addition the mulched path from Funston to Parland that follows the creek bed will be mowed.
During the next mowing in roughly 2 weeks, the city will mow the fountain area and the top of the hill area as they have. In addition, they will mow the outside edge of the park up to the sidewalk. They will also mow roughly 3-5 feet inside the entire sidewalk. On the South edge along Funston where there is no sidewalk, they will mow 10 feet in from the street. This will be mowed at roughly 4 inches.

Wildflowers in Mahncke Park Update
The city and the board have continued the negotiations for the management of Mahncke Park. When the flowers have gone to seed, the city will begin mowing the entire park on a regular and as needed basis (typically on a 21 day cycle). Prior to mowing the entire park, they will mow the park in accordance with their proposal for next year's wildflower season. This will be left for neighborhood viewing and feedback to the board for a few days. Most likely this will take place in late May/early June. If possible, we will provide a date for this mow at the next neighborhood meeting and/or through the next newsletter.
