',THIS IS IT" <br /> WEEK OF FEBRUARY 1 - 5, 1993 <br /> PARKS MAINTENANCE UPDATE: <br /> ICE RINK UPDATE: <br /> * This week has been unseasonably warm, nice for those waiting <br /> for Spring, but too warm to flood the ice rinks. Tomorrow <br /> (Friday) we will flood early in the morning because the <br /> prediction is for a little cooler temperatures. Also, the <br /> fog helps. We still have two weeks of skating lessons and <br /> boot hockey. Pinewood School has planned a skating activity <br /> at Lambert February 12 . We hope that cooler weather comes <br /> for another two weeks. The days are getting longer and the <br /> suns rays are becoming more direct. It can really be <br /> noticed during rink maintenance. <br /> HOSTING PARKS MAINTENANCE MEETING: <br /> * Department staff will be hosting a state wide parks <br /> maintenance meeting to discuss winter ice rink establishment <br /> and maintenance and other issues, also to discuss Spring <br /> issues such as seeding, fertilizing, etc. This meeting will <br /> be held on Thursday, February 18, 1993 in the morning in the <br /> Chambers. Already a great number of people from many cities <br /> have acknowledged that they are attending. <br /> Staff hopes to establish a directory of parks maintenance <br /> workers so that all will have a networking opportunity to <br /> exchange equipment, expertise and experiences. <br /> OTHER PARKS MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES: <br /> * The weather has provided an opportunity for alternate <br /> activities to be worked on since flooding has not been <br /> feasible. Other activities are listed in our activities for <br /> goals and include the establishment of an inventory of <br /> utilities in the parks, to be placed on park drawings. <br /> Steve has been working on this project. <br /> Jeff has been working on shelving projects at <br /> Greenfield Park storage building, Silver View Park <br /> shelter storage area and Public Works garage storage <br /> area now designated for Parks, Recreation & Forestry <br /> and Administration storage. <br /> * Staff will be meeting with Joe Churchill later this month to <br /> assist in establishing a turf maintenance program and <br /> schedule of activities. Also, staff will be purchasing the <br /> years supply of seeds and fertilizers this month. <br /> * Information regarding turf sweepers is being collected. <br />
