The park maintenance crew has been concentrating mostly on general park maintenance duties such as fertilizing, weed spraying and soccer and ball field maintenance. Currently our first application of fertilizer was completed in early May with the 2"a application scheduled to go on the end of June. Spraying of the parks for weeds has been a little slower this year. The rainy and windy days have made it tough to complete the spraying. So far, Lake Ann, Lake Susan, the grounds at both schools, 3/4 of the downtown and a couple of the small parks have been sprayed. The roadwork into Lake Ann that was connected with the construction of the new park maintenance building has finally been completed. We still need to do the restoration of the ditches along this section of road, but the plans are to have this all completed before the 4th of July. As of the middle of June all fifteen seasonal employees are at work doing the day- to-day maintenance work in the parks and ball fields. This year I have five retired individuals working for the city cutting grass. They are the ones who have really played an important part in trying to stay ahead of the fast growing grass this season. The downtown crew has most of their spraying and fertilizing for this time of the year completed. They are finishing up with their flower planting and all of the irrigation systems are up and running. We made an attempt to move a lot of the trees around city hall that were in the plan to be destroyed with the library construction. Of the 38 trees we planned to move only ten could be moved. The others were all too close to utilities, which made it impossible to move them. The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work. and play.
