Silver View Pond Aerator – The City Parks Department acquired two pond aerators with the sale of the City's golf course. These pond aerators are used to minimize algae growth in ponds during the summer months. These aerators could be used to help with the algae issue at Silver View Pond. The main cost associated with installing these aerators at Silver View Pond is extending electrical power to the aerators. This cost is estimated to be $5,000. Staff is suggesting that aerators be installed and that a portable generator be used to power the aerators on a temporary basis. This would give the city a better indication as to the effectiveness of the aerators before expending the funds to run electrical lines. As an additional note, one of the aerator is in poor condition and may not be usable – however these aerators are relatively inexpensive. Direct staff to proceed as suggested and give Commission feedback. b.) Park Signs. Considering replacing existing park signs. Have $4,000 budgeted for 5 signs. Direct staff to bring examples/drawing and brochure to June meeting. Commission encouraged to check out website: www.fastsigns.com 7. Commissioner/Staff Reports: a) County Road 10 Trailway Project: Segments 9&10 Project Update –Work on the trailway is well underway. The contractor is currently working on establishing the gravel base for the trailway. b) Oakwood Park Proposal Phase I Demolition of the park has been completed. Large Dozers were brought in on May 15th to perform the earthwork. The water service for the irrigation system was dug in on May 10H Shop drawings of the irrigation system have been received and the contractor has started the installation of the system. After irrigation system has been installed, the contractor will provide the City with "as -built" drawing of the system. The site is anticipated to be seeded within two weeks. Phase II Phase II is the creation of a playground area adjacent to the proposed soccer fields. The Commission has made a motion recommending "Recess Time II" in earth tone colors. The proposal will include two bucket swings and two belt swings. The proposal excludes any "tot lot" equipment. This is state bid item (state already received competitive bids) and may allow City to forego the bidding process. It is anticipated that this would be ordered along with the Hillview Park Playground Equipment.
