Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />(651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 <br />• <br />• <br />December 20, 1999 <br />TO: Park Board Members <br />FROM: Mike Hoffman, Parks Supervisor <br />SUBJECT: December Park Maintenance Update <br />Well here it is, the last maintenance update of the 20th Century. I'll make it short and sweet. <br />• Flooding of skating rinks - As you might expect skating rinks are way behind schedule. This <br />of course is due primarily to the unseasonably warm temps we have been experiencing. <br />Also, adding to the problem is that our tanker truck is currently in the shop getting the tank <br />patched. This has limited us to hose flooding at those rinks that have a water source. We are <br />hoping to get our tanker back very soon, but until then, we are limited to hoses. Thankfully <br />with the recent cold weather we have been able to flood 2 -3 times daily. (Sunrise, Birch, <br />City Hall, Marshan, Lino and Behm's Parks.) <br />If the weather cooperates and we get our tanker back, we are hoping to have our rinks with <br />shelters open on Thursday, December 23. <br />Other activities during December included: <br />• Removal of soccer nets from goals. <br />• Inventory of ballfields — (condition of bases, home plate, pitching rubber, and base pegs.) <br />Order replacements for 2000. <br />• Repair of hockey nets and goals <br />• Clean and prep. warming houses. <br />• Organized and cleaned up yard at maintenance facility. <br />• Prep winter equipment. (blowers, brooms, tractors.) <br />• Playground inspection and repairs. <br />• Measured all irrigated athletic fields to determine acreage for fertilizer and weed control <br />needs. <br />• Removed diseased trees at Sunrise Park <br />• Assembled bleachers. <br />Those are the highlights for December. I hope you all have a safe and joyous holiday season. <br />sw /parkbrd/Mike Hoffman Maintenance Updates /December 99.doc <br />
