Thc weather has been unseasonably nice tbr November, which is allowing us to get
a lot of work donc this fhll.
At Bluff ('reek Elcn;cnta~T/Rcc Center we haxc spent a grcat deal of time raising
thc sprinkler heads and relaying sod around them. We filled many low areas and
holes ill thc play area where possible il!juries could occur. We went around all tile
sidewalks, concrete curbs and tile area under tile picnic shelter/warming house to
correct any possible trip hazards. Wc had a company called Metro Concrctc
Raising come to correct all thcsc areas. Duc to nmnbcr of burned out bulbs, wc
rc-larnpcd thc parking lot on thc Rcc Center side.
Brush and leaf drop offdays were bold at Lake Ann Park on Saturday, October 30,
and Saturday, November 13. Both days were very successful with a lot of brush
and leaves collected both days.
We have just completed moving thc last 30 trees fi'om the City tree farm to various
parks. We planted trccs around thc nc,,,,, shelters and replaced a few of thc large
ash trees that have died around the ball field at Lake Ann Park. We currently have
all thc usable trees moved from tile tree titan, so will not lose any trees to thc
Highway 5 expansion when it starts.
We arc still working by thc concession building and field 4 at Lake Ann Park. Thc
trail has been cut in and rock fill put in place. A retaining wall was built to enlarge
the area by tile player bench. Wc plan to leave this over winter to let thc ground
settle, and in thc spring we will blacktop thc trail and sod thc entire area bcforc thc
ball season starts.
We have a schedule to move and decorate tile City of Clmnhasscn Christmas tree
