MEMORANDUM
TO:
Todd Hoffman, Park and Recreation Director
FROM:
Dale Gregory, Park Superintendent
DATE:
September 11, 2002
SUBJECT: Park and Trail Maintenance Report
It is hard to believe summer is coming to an end and kids are already back in
school. Summer activities have all come to an end with only fall softball, soccer
and football going on now.
All the seasonal kids are now back at high school or college and our group of
seasonal seniors are left to the task of keeping the grass mowed in all of our parks.
On more of a sad note, senior seasonal, Bob Bisch, who worked with the
downtown crew, had a heart attack this year. He ended up having triple heart by-
pass surgery. All went well with the surgery and he is out walking every day.
The restoration of the ditches going into Lake Ann did not happen before the 4th of
July like we had hoped. The weather did not cooperate at all, so we decided to do
it in September when it is better for grass seeding.
This year we have had more calls on dead elm trees than we have had in a long
time. We don't know if all the wet weather we had this year was an influence on
starting up the Dutch elm disease again or not.
We also had the opportunity to use the STS (Sentence to Serve) people again. We
had 10 people each day to help put woodchips around trees at Bluff Creek
Elementary/Rec Center, along Coulter Blvd., and in a couple of parks.
