Currently, we mow 17 parks, the Police and Fire buildings, City Hall, city water towers and well houses (4), and a number of boulevard and trail segments. This amounts to approximately 100- 125 acres of mowing which we try to complete weekly. No easy task especially if we get rained out for a day or two. Softball and Little League is in full gear and with it comes athletic field preparation on a daily basis. Currently we are averaging six ballfields that must be fully prepped on a daily basis. This consists of repairing dig outs in batters boxes, pitching rubbers, and base areas, dragging infields, chalking base lines and batters boxes, dropping off game balls and picking up garbage around players benches and bleachers. In addition there are six other fields that we try to drag daily or every other day. Additional projects for June included completion of the playground at Sunrise Park, (the surrounding area will be seeded in mid to late August), storm cleanup, planting trees around new playgrounds to replace trees that were lost in the storm, removal of damaged roof to shelter#2 at Sunrise Park, obtaining estimates for roof repair to Sunrise warming house, and fertilizing all our irrigated turf areas. Sunset Oaks Park was vandalized over the June 20t'-21"weekend. Graffiti was placed on the play structure, picnic table and outhouse. This equipment has been cleaned and is back to its original condition. �� sw/parkbrd/June Maintenance Update.doc
