Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department <br /> 7204 Lake Drive <br /> O F Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br /> N KE (612) 780-1885 Fax (612) 784-7227 <br /> May 26, 1998 <br /> TO: Park Board Members <br /> FROM: Mike Hoffman, Lead Worker—Parks <br /> SUBJECT: May Parks Maintenance Update <br /> Well, I hope everyone survived the storm on Friday, May 15. As you may know some of our <br /> parks were not so fortunate. <br /> Sunrise Park was hardest hit with approximately 50 large trees (mostly Red Oak)being removed, <br /> another 40-50 trees suffered substantial damage requiring radical pruning. Pruning cuts were <br /> painted to prevent Oak Wilt infection to the remaining trees, but, with that amount of damage, <br /> the potential for some infection exists. We will be monitoring the remaining trees closely for <br /> signs of infection. <br /> Additional damage at Sunrise included: <br /> Roof damage to Shelter#2. <br /> Roof damage to warming house. <br /> Fencing damage to Fields#1 (outfield minimal). <br /> Fencing damage to Field#2 approximately 250' of 6' fabric ripped from fence posts from <br /> center field to left field. The entire outfield fence on#2 has been replaced with 8' fabric. <br /> Field#3 backstop and out of play fence damaged. <br /> Many other park areas also sustained damage but I believe Rick will bring you up to date on <br /> those areas. <br /> Maintenance activity during May have included mowing, fertilization, irrigation system repair <br /> and maintenance, tree planting, athletic field maintenance and preparation, garbage pickux, and <br /> playground installation at Sunrise Park which we now hope to have completed by June 5 . <br /> Since the storm, our major push has been storm cleanup both along city streets and within the <br /> city parks, to ensure the safety of park users and city residents. <br /> sw/mike/May Parks Maintenance Update.doc <br />
