G. <br /> C I T*LP <br /> O F <br /> � INE <br /> January 27, 1998 <br /> TO: Park Board Members <br /> FROM: Mike Hoffman <br /> SUBJECT: Park Maintenance Update <br /> Snowplowing of streets and trails and rink maintenance has kept <br /> the Parks Maintenance staff busy during the month of January. <br /> The snow blower attachment for our Case Skid Loader has been <br /> purchased and we are extremely impressed with its performance. <br /> Case in point - after a recent 5"-7" snowfall we tried the new <br /> blower for the first time. We were able to clean each full size <br /> hockey rink in approximately 30 minutes . In the past, it has <br /> taken between 1-2 hours for 2 people in 2 pieces of equipment (1 <br /> ton truck with 9' plow, Grounds Master and blower) to accomplish <br /> this task. <br /> The blower will also be used on the trails after excessive <br /> snowfalls, as well as for widening and opening drifted areas <br /> that a plow can not get through. <br /> 10-11, <br /> PARK, RECREATION, FORESTRY, & RECYCLING DEPARTMENTS <br /> 7204 Lake Drive • Lino Lakes, Minnesota • 55014 <br /> Phone: 617-780-1885 • Fax: 612-784-7227 <br />
