MEMORANDUM
TO: Todd Hoffrnan, Park and Recreation Director
FROM: Dale Gregory, Park Superintendent
DATE: March 20, 2001
SUBJECT: Park and Trail Maintenance Report
This year the skating season was the second longest (December 15 - March 6)
since I have started keeping records back in 1982. I have included several reports
this year related to the skating rinks.
Ice rink user totals for thc five rink areas where warming houses arc
present prepared by Corcy Hoen.
· Skating rink usage: This is thc first year this report has been generated.
We had the employees who were running the brooms fill out a sheet when
the rinks were swept. They indicated if thc rinks were used or not from the
last thnc they were swept.
· Skating Rink Cost 1999-2000 and Skating Rink Cost 2000-2001: These
two reports indicate the cost to build and maintain the city's ice skating
rinks on a daily basis. The year 2000-2001cost was considerably more,
however, we also were open twenty-two days longer.
Construction on the new park maintenance building started January 29, 2001 and
has been moxdng along at a steady pace. The building is up and the roof and
shingles arc on. The building has been insulated and some of the interior walls and
ceiling have the tin on. On the outside the brickwork has started on the east side.
Currently thc inside of the building is being heated to remove the frost so the
concrete floor can be installed.
With the skating rinks closed, we will now have time to begin our preventative
maintenance on all lawnmowers and weed whips.
This winter's early freeze-up of the lakes and more than average snowfall required
the installation of the aerator on Lake Susan. The system was started on January
23, 2001. Even though our oxygen readings were still fairly high, we decided to
get a head start and begin aerating early. On February 19th we did have a problem
with a broken shaft on the pump that took us until February 23rJ to repair and
restart the system. The oxygen levels have continued to get lower throughout the
winter. Our Park Foreman, Dean Schmieg, and Dave Gilbraith from thc DNR
took a reading on March 15,2001, and found that the oxygen level is down to
where we could possibly have some fish die. According to Dave Gilbraith, nothing
is for certain yet, and it will all depend on the weather in the next few weeks. If it

warms up and water starts to mn into the lake, the oxygen level will improve and if we get more
snow, the oxygen level will get worse. ! will have more information at the Park and Recreation
Meeting on March 27th.
We have just completed the wood duck house cleaning and inspect/on. We have 35 wood duck
houses in place with 16 being used last year, which is 46%. This is down from 1999. Enclosed
you will find a Wood Duck Inspection Report that dates back to 1994.
