• Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 June 22, 2001 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Mike Hoffman, Parks Supervisor SUBJECT: June Maintenance Update Finally, schools out for the summer. This benefits our department in a number of ways. First, since most of our seasonals are students it means they are now on board forty hours a week. Second, there are no longer physical education. classes on the fields which offers us more flexibility in maintenance scheduling. • Maintenance activities during June have included: ♦ Mowing of parks and athletic fields. I won't say we're caught up yet, but by the end of next week I think we will finally have the grass under control. ♦ Daily ballfi eld preparation: At this time we have game prepped nearly 300 fields. On an average we are game prepping 10 -12 fields per day. We are very pleased with our new tractor and groomer attachment. It does a fine job on our infields. ♦ Weekly garbage pickup: With our seasonals now on board, we should be able to keep up with garbage collection. ♦ Spring Fertilizer Application: Applied fertilizer to approximately 40 acres of irrigated sports fields and park areas. ♦ Irrigation systems energizzed and repaired: Have not completed repairs to all systems, but with the spring we are having who needs irrigation. • ♦ City Hall warming house: Interior of building was painted along with benches and wall murals. (Girl Scout project) ♦ Park and trail sign installation.
