Maintenance activity during a busy June has included: • Mowing of all park areas — we have been trying to cut our irrigated turf areas twice a week but the wet weather has not allowed us to get to everything. As a result, we are leaving excess clippings in some areas. • Weekly garbage collection at all parks and park shelters. • Daily athletic field preparation — we are averaging over 10 ball field game preps per day Monday thru Thursday. Also weekly line cut -ins and painting. • Completed playground inspections and repairs. Vandalized playgrounds that were repaired included: o Highland Meadows Park — repaired floating balance beam. o Lino Park — replaced damaged crawl tube section and repaired tire swing. o Birchwood Acres, Behms and Birch Park — removed graffiti. • Repaired damaged picnic tables. • Repaired stage at Sunrise Park. • Poured concrete pads and installed bike racks at Lino Park and Town Center. • Equipment maintenance and repair as needed. • Sherman Lake Road Trail — installed 72' of retaining wall (48' on west side, 24' on east side) where culverts cross trail to prevent washout of trail. Removed Buckthorn from trail edges to improve visibility. • Repaired boardwalk behind homes on Stagecoach Trail 20' of railing had been vandalized. • Party wagon deliveries and pickups. • Broadleaf week control to soccer fields at CMS and RLE. • Aerified soccer fields at CMS and RLE.
