Park and Trail Maintenance Report
This year's skating rink season started on December 24 and closed for good on
February 14. We had a week of warm weather this season from February 2 - 8
that caused closure of the rinks during that time. This left us with only 46 days of
open rink time, four days less than last year. (See attached report)
The tree inventory we started last year is moving along slowly. All tree locations
have been entered for all parks. We are currently working on entering the species
of the trees and in the summer when the trees leaf out we can enter the condition
of each tree.
We have also started the removal of dead and dying Elm trees. To date we have
removed 150 trees and we still have a few days of cutting to do. These trees have
been removed from city trails and areas more actively used in the parks.
All wood duck houses have been cleaned repaired and a few new ones have been
added. This year was a 10% increase over last year's use. (See report attached)
With the lack of snow cover on the lakes this winter, it was unnecessary to install
the aeration system in Lake Susan this year. Oxygen levels are monitored weekly
through the sinter. There was very little drop in oxygen noted this winter.
This winter we also experienced some problems with people driving ATV's over
city property to get on Lake Ann and Lotus Lake to go fishing.
The City 01 Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautitul parks. A great place to live, work, and play
