Head of city Park and Rec set to retire

The longtime director of Mitchell’s Park and Recreation Department is retiring. Randy Ahrendt, 58, is leaving the position after 20 years. His last day will be Arbor Day, April 30, which will be a fitting day to end the career of a man whose duties include the care of more than 12,000 trees in the city.
