Park Report November 09
Crews have been busy mulching leaves, winterizing and
storing equipment, bringing in picnic tables, applying the fall
fertilizer to the turf and, of course, daily maintenance routines
like dog stations and restrooms. (The Pond, The East, Bogert,
South Side and Beall are year-a-round restrooms.)
The perception typically is “ this is the slow time of year for the
Parks Division” –yet- in reality, it is very busy time trying to
take advantage of the good weather and on the flip
side……..dealing with mother nature in regards to snow
storms and plowing.
A couple examples of taking advantage of good weather: is
getting the Snowfill and cemetery land mowed down for BSF
and the completion of the Kirk restrooms!!
The Kirk restroom had been charged up to see in if everything
is working properly and will be winterize tomorrow and is
ready to go for next spring. It is very nice! Much thanks to
Mark Meissner and PC Development in pulling off such a great
project.
On the October 22 tennis court meeting…………it was
nd
unanimous- the Versacourt snap in tile system was the
overwhelming favorite and that is how we are proceeding. My
only challenge is trying to follow the purchasing policy in
getting the product ordered and the labor bidded. Etc….. and
do it in a timely manner.
User groups have all completed their seasons.
We had some vandalism on the Linear trail- somebody drove
their truck down the trail and ultimately, off the bridge, into
the creek just north of Garfield St. A wrecker had to pluck out
the truck and the hazmat team mitigated the oil and gas that
seeped into creek.
