Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes <br />March 16, 1989 <br />Page five <br />Director Saarion explained that in order <br />to provide an adequate amount of <br />maintenance in the parks, a total of <br />5,886 hours would need to be spent to <br />achieve all the items listed. The <br />current manpower hours available is <br />4,448 leaving a deficit of 1,438 hours. <br />Director Saarion suggested three <br />alternatives to achieving the standards: <br />1. Lowering the maintenance standards. <br />2. Hiring another full-time maintenance <br />person. <br />3. Hire two seasonal employees during <br />the 12 week winter skating season. <br />This guideline is minimum standards for <br />satisfactory park maintenance. The <br />hours given to each duty is unproven, <br />rather a guess. One year's experience <br />using the new computer scheduling <br />software system should verify truer <br />numbers of hours. <br />A motion was made by Chairperson <br />Burmeister, seconded by Commissioner <br />Long to support the proposed park <br />maintenance standards and recommend to <br />the City Council that they be adopted. <br />Motion carried; 5 ayes, 0 nayes. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner <br />Stevenson, seconded by Commissioner <br />Starr to recommend to the City Council <br />that in a step to achieve the park <br />maintenance standards, that a minimum of <br />two full-time park maintenance employees <br />be assigned eight hours per day, five <br />days week to park maintenance duties. <br />Motion carried; 5 ayes, 0 nayes. <br />CUTTING OF PUSSYWILLOWS Director Saarion reported that a <br />resident called concerned about a large <br />group of people cutting down <br />pussywillows in Silver View Park. The <br />police have been notified of the <br />incident and residents have been advised <br />to call the police if this occurs again. <br />
