All rinks are finally in pretty good shape. The weatherman is calling for <br />below normal temps for the next week or so, so we should be able to build some base and <br />hopefully keep them looking good well into February. <br />➢ Hockey goal maintenance — Repaired goals and nets as needed. <br />➢ Building maintenance <br />- Cleaned warming houses as needed. <br />Fabricated, painted and installed window guards at City Hall warming house. <br />- Purchased and installed rubber flooring for City Hall shelter. <br />➢ Picked up and stored football equipment. <br />➢ Plowed streets, trails and parking lots as needed. <br />➢ Attended Green Expo (educational seminar and trade show). <br />➢ Cleaned, repaired and prepped wood duck houses for spring 2007 use. <br />➢ Chipped Christmas trees at Sunrise and Birch Park sites (approx. 150 total). <br />➢ Brandywood Park <br />- Cut, chipped and stump treated Buckthorn (approximately 45 cubic yards of <br />chipped materials). Also removed numerous dead and hazardous trees. <br />➢ Country Lakes Park <br />- Cut, chipped and stump treated Buckthorn (removed approximately 40 cubic <br />yards of chipped materials). <br />➢ Tree and shrub pruning at Sunrise Park. <br />➢ Shenandoah Park <br />- Removed approximately 20 trees (15 Cottonwood, 5 Box Elder) from front <br />boulevard. Our plan is to stump grind all stumps, construct a low berm (12" — <br />18") and replant area using 4 existing Hackberry, tree spaded to new locations and <br />also some bare root Red Oaks, as well as a maintained turf boulevard. <br />Removed 5 hazardous trees from wooded areas near picnic table and playground. <br />- Trimmed branches to allow for mower clearance. <br />Those are the major highlights from December and January - more to come in February. <br />sw /parkbrd /Mike /December 2006 and January 2007 Park Maintenance Update.doc <br />
