In addition it is necessary to purchase a display case type of information kiosk to be located at City Hall, near the Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department to publicize the many resources, programs and activities that the Department offers the community. The estimated cost is $2,000. The department mimeo machine is beyond its longevity and plans must be made for replacement in 1995 with an upgraded digital copy mimeo machine. CITY HALL VOLLEYBALL COURT LIGHTING: Another long-term goal is to provide lighting for City Hall volleyball courts. The courts are used extensively by players during daylight. The use of lights would extend the hours available for volleyball play. The City will look into new lighting as well as make-shift - lighting using remnants from other park lighted areas. PARKS PARKS MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT: A double axle trailer is needed for the transportation of the mowers and skid loader (when it has the tracks on). The use of the trailer would provide time saving benefits when doing park projects, while saving the machines from wear and tear of traveling to and from project sites. Use of a truck and trailer would also enable seasonal parks employees to have other necessary equipment such as weed trimmers, rakes and shovels to do immediate maintenance of parks as detected. The cost of a trailer is approximately $3,600. Finally, the Department will share the cost of a tractor mounted concrete mixer (1/3 shared cost or $1,500) which will save money in time and cost of the many concrete projects associated with park facility installation. Also, the Department will share the cost of a drill press with a contribution of $1,100 to the total cost. During the next couple of years a number of park equipment and vehicles will need to be replaced as per the vehicle and equipment replacement plan. The mowers, cushman and trucks are all up for replacement within the next five years. . - '• .
