The two elliptical machines were installed adjacent to the playground at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park to encourage visitors to exercise. This is an easy way for parents to exercise and still be able to watch their children. Setting a good example of activity for your children is a great way to create and keep healthy habits from youth through adulthood. There are plans for additional outdoor exercise equipment to be installed in other parks in the near future. If you are interested in learning more about the "I" CANN initiative, please visit www.valleymed.org/icann. Diane Dobson (Renton) expressed concern about the increase in criminal activity among the homeless population residing along the only residential neighborhood (N. Riverside Dr.) adjacent to the Cedar River Trail. She remarked that she has consistently reported this activity to the police department to no avail. She requested that Council urge bicycle patrol officers to patrol this stretch of the trail more frequently and to cite and arrest anyone committing crimes. Ms. Dobson also stated that she finds it ironic that the City recently accepted responsibility for a parcel of land to be named the Kenyon- Dobson Park, yet cannot maintain the half mile stretch of trail near her home. Mayor Law stated that he will be meeting with the Police and Community Services departments to review this issue. He added that the City will provide a response to her concerns. Audrey Adams (Renton) suggested that the City could spend the $80,000 it costs to annually fluoridate the water supply more efficiently by purchasing and providing fluoride tablets and other dental products to people who request them. She added that some of the money could also be spent to educate children about the benefits of dental hygiene. Items listed on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing.
