Pinewood, Irondale, and <br /> Sunnyside Schools will be closed for repairs . This will put a <br /> limit to the number of programs we will be able to offer this <br /> summer using school facilities . <br /> PARKS MAINTENANCE FACILITY WORKROOMS REMODELING <br /> Steve Dazenski has been remodeling the parks maintenance mezzanine <br /> area of the Facilities Garage . We have also acquired the use of a <br /> small room to store our inventory of handtools and some parks <br /> equipment supplies such as playground parts, irrigation parts, <br /> tennis and volleyball nets, bases, base pegs, park signs, etc . <br /> Shelving has been purchased from the Army Surplus Store and pidgeon <br /> hole bins have been purchased for our inventory of special park <br /> equipment nuts, bolts, S-hooks, etc . Also, Steve and Jeff have <br /> begun the task of plotting utility lines on maps of the city parks . <br /> This job is now on hold until the snow melts and better <br /> measurements can be made. <br /> RANDOM PARKING LOT ENTRY IS MUCKY <br /> We have been receiving complaints from users of Random Park <br /> building regarding the poor condition of the entry. This is a <br /> result of the renovation of Long Lake Road. The drainage culvert <br /> which was located under the entry was removed this past summer, and <br /> the water runoff is making the entry a muddy mess during wet days . <br /> It is not a problem when the ground is frozen or when it dries, but <br /> during melts or rain or snow days it becomes a gooky mess . Steve <br /> has tried to scrape the muck away, and gravel will be laid, <br /> however, it will most likely sink into the muck. Once Long Lake <br /> Road is completed the problem should be taken care of because of <br /> the curb and gutter and asphalt entry. However, we are <br /> experiencing problems now. <br /> The paving of Random Park parking lot is on our parks capital <br /> improvement plan. This can perhaps be completed sooner because of <br /> the heavy use of Random Park, the problems that we are encountering <br /> and the convenience of having it done at the same time as Long Lake <br /> Road is being improved. It ' s something to think about . I will <br /> bring this up to the Parks and Recreation Commission and relay <br /> their ideas . <br />
