PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> PARKS: <br /> * The carpenter doing work at Hillview and Groveland Park buildings found that <br /> the floor joists and exterior siding is rotting because of moisture being trapped <br /> along and underneath the buildings. The floor insulation is wringing wet with <br /> moisture. As a result, preventative measures are being taken to prevent further <br /> decay. The landscaping along the buildings has been removed, with the ground <br /> being sloped away from the buildings. Estimates are being received for putting <br /> poly on the ground of the crawl space and replacing siding at Groveland Park <br /> buildings on two sides that are completely rotted away at the bottom. A <br /> ventilation panel will be installed so that the crawl space can remain ventilated <br /> and hopefully dry during summer months. An additional furnace run will be <br /> installed under the floor in the crawl space to keep the water pipes from <br /> freezing. The carpenter suggested that since eave overhangs are not on the <br /> buildings, rain gutters should be installed to keep water away from the <br /> buildings. <br /> It is lucky that this problem has been identified. We will need to look at the <br /> condition of Woodcrest Park building to make sure that that too is taken care <br /> of in the occasion that the floor joists are rotting away. <br /> So if anyone asks you why the landscaping was removed at Hillview and <br /> Groveland Park buildings, that is the answer. <br /> * The grass is still growing, the crew is still mowing. . . <br /> When in a time pinch the crew has been doing "spot" mowing, giving the <br /> high grass areas, and playing fields priority over open grasslands. <br /> RECREATION: <br /> * In the next two weeks Sharie is teaching four classes of "I'm In Charge" with 2 <br /> classes at Sunnyside and 2 classes at Pinewood School. This is a very popular <br /> class - one that parents obviously see as important for their children. <br /> * We have a new student intern with us for 3 months. Dana Willis is a student at <br /> Brigham Young University, Utah, majoring in Parks and Recreation <br /> Administration. <br />
