MEMO <br />To: Parks and Recreation Commission <br />From: Mary Saarion <br />Subject: Park Improvements Report <br />Date: August 19, 1998 <br />This Fall the City Hall large athletic field has been closed for improvements. The infield edge will <br />be cut, infield aggregate replaced and leveled. In addition, Hillview Park athletic field infield will <br />be crowned and additional aggregate installed for better drainage. This work should improve the <br />drainage of both fields which really helps keep the fields in use after rains. <br />In addition, staff is receiving cost estimates for sealing Silver View Park asphalt trail and for re- <br />surfacing the hard court. Both surfaces need recoating for continued preventative maintenance <br />and upkeep. <br />In addition, a bid has been received for a new park truck to replace the 3/4 ton. Boyer Ford is the <br />only bid received. The bid is basically the state bid for 3/4 ton trucks. There were not enough die <br />casts for 3/4 ton trucks this year - the state chose to make '/2 tons instead and it has been difficult <br />to find a supplier. The bid is well within budget so it is anticipated that City Council will approve <br />the purchase. <br />City Hall soccer field has been moved from along Hwy 10 to the area which overlays the youth <br />athletic field north of City Hall. <br />All but one summer seasonal parks maintenance employee will be reporting back to school by <br />September 2. It is during this period that parks maintenance staff is spread thin with the need to <br />continue grass mowing, daily athletic field grooming, and other daily tasks as well as continue <br />repairs and improvement projects. <br />
