REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 12. <br /> STAFF REPORT Report Number: . <br /> 94—_1193W S <br /> Report Date: 6-2-94 <br /> AGENDA SESSION DATE June 6, 1994 Re P <br /> DISPOSITION <br /> Item Description: Discussion Regarding Request to Schedule Pond Treatment for Silver <br /> View Pond (July Treatment) <br /> Administrator's Review/Recommendation: <br /> - No comments to supplement this report <br /> - Comments attached. <br /> Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) <br /> SUMMARY; <br /> Silver View Park pond is an attractive amenity of Silver View Park. <br /> However, during the last part of July the pond has traditionally become <br /> rank and odorous due to weed and algae growth. This growth is easily <br /> taken care of with chemical treatment. The cost is approximately <br /> $1, 800/treatment and permits. One treatment has been given for the past <br /> two years at the request of a petition presented by persons living on <br /> the pond. The cost of pond treatment has been stricken from the budget <br /> with the idea that contingency funds can be requested if necessary. It <br /> is therequest of the Parks and Recreation Commission that the City <br /> become proactive to the problem of the pond algae and request <br /> contingency funding for the treatment of the pond before it becomes so <br /> terribly foul in appearance and odor. <br /> Therefore, at the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation, I <br /> request the City Council to consider funding the 1994 treatment of <br /> Silver View Park pond in July at a cost of approximately $1, 800 for the <br /> removal of algae and other weeds that are permitted by the DNR. <br /> Mary Saarion, Directo o Recreation and Forestry <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br />
