MEMORANDUM
TO:
Todd Hoffman, Park and Recreation Director
FROM:
Dale Gregory, Park Superintendent
DATE: August 17, 1999
SUBJECT: Park and Trail Maintenance Report
Summer seems to be slipping away with several jobs still to be completed We
have already lost one third of our summer seasonal workers to football practice
and moving to college. Luckily the growth of the grass starts to slow down this
time of year.
This year the City hosted the USSSA Regional Softball Tournament at Lake Ann.
A lot of time was taken to get the park and ballfields in excellent condition for this
event. The block retaining walls by the player's benches were completed along
with sod in the area around the walls. All fields and infields were gone over very
carefully to make sure no problems would be encountered the weekend of the
tournament.
We have just moved back into Sugar Bush Park to do the final grading and
leveling. The seeding should take place in about a week, that will complete this
project.
Bandimere and City Center have both been fertilized and are on a regular mowing
schedule and the grass is starting to look pretty good. Little to no work has been
done in either park by the contractor.
