411 <br /> "THIS IS IT" <br /> PARKS, RECREATION & FORESTRY <br /> (week of October 19) <br /> PARKS ACTIVITIES: <br /> Steve and Jeff have been preparing the parks for Winter. <br /> Sprinkling lines have been blown out, drinking fountains have <br /> been drained and the heaters in the park buildings have been <br /> inspected. <br /> Final turf preparations have been done including mowing, <br /> fertilizing and mulching. This will need to continue depending <br /> upon the weather. <br /> Lambert Park playground spring animals, border and sand surface <br /> material has been installed. The game striping has been <br /> completed on the asphalt. Yet to be done is the playtop <br /> accessible trailway inside the playground area and the asphalt <br /> path that will lead from the parking lot to the playground area. <br /> Hopefully the weather will give us enough warm days to complete <br /> 411 this project. <br /> Silver View trail restoration at the culvert area is hopefully <br /> completed by the end of this week. The work is to be completed <br /> on Thursday, October 22 weather permitting. <br /> Staff met with Tom from Able Fence for the expansion of the <br /> Greenfield baseball field infield fence. Balls have been fouling <br /> back into one neighbor's yard in particular. We talked with this <br /> neighbor to get a better perspective on the problem. To help <br /> remedy this problem a 10 foot extension of the 6 foot fence will <br /> be added to make the fence 16 feet, the same height of the <br /> backstop. This will be extended for 40 feet down the line to the <br /> players dugout. Similarly, the same will be added to the other <br /> side to help protect spectators sitting in the bleachers from <br /> foul ball hits. <br /> Steve and Jeff attended a day water conference at Brooklyn Center <br /> Civic Center. They had a chance to see Brooklyn Center Civic <br /> Center Park and discuss its construction with some of the <br /> Brooklyn Center maintenance crew. They have incorporated trails <br /> and waterways and ballfields, lighting, play areas and other. <br /> RECREATION: <br /> Sharie, Mary and I have been in the process of planning, <br /> 410 organizing and making arrangements for second quarter after <br /> school activities. Mary met last week with the principals and <br />
