Muskego Rotary Club Service Project – Denoon Bridge

very wet or has standing water. He said the proposed bridge is a combination project with the

is raising funds to build the bridge itself. Dr. Thompson stated they would be replicating Disc

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Recreation Manager’s Report
Conservation Coordinator’s Report
Mr. Peardon asked about the current vandalism in the City Parks. Director Kroeger stated the
Parks have been vandalized numerous times this last year. He said all six cameras are up
and running at Idle Isle. The City will be installing cameras at Park Arthur next. He also stated
the City has installed trail cams in a number of additional Park areas for temporary use until we
install more cameras. The cameras were able to catch the same thieves three times at Idle
Isle. The City hopes as word gets out about the cameras being in place, the amount of theft
and vandalism will decrease.
