It's been a hot brutal summer for Parks Maintenance.
We were doing ok being shorthanded in July because things were
starting to burn up and giving us a break in mowing. It was hot, but we
were catching up. Getting ready for the HHH is a big deal and we had
just started gearing up to make the City look good.
Then came August 10. 100 MPH wind storm called a MICRO BURST
has made the 2023 summer the worst year in long long time. Our crews
have been steady cutting and hauling storm debris for the past six
weeks. We estimate over 350 loads of tree limbs have been hauled. We
opened the center area of Lucy Park up to the public for a temporary
tree only landfill for four weeks. Parks employees manned it for 13
hours a day for the first two weeks and 10-hour days until we closed it
down. The debris up in the trees will keep us busy well into winter if not
longer. We have to borrow bucket trucks from traffic and the
navigation up into the trees is very time consuming. We also had
damage to several structures and roofs.
Splash Pad will be shut down September 30. We normally shut down
the Tuesday after Labor Day, but by popular request due to the heat we
stayed open for a few weeks longer.
The new WCMA shelter at Hamilton is finished and already very
popular for reservations.
The north shelter at Scotland will have electric service this week.
The berm shelter at Scotland is under construction at our shop.
The 2600 feet of railing and new drainage structure along the
Holiday Creek/Circle Trail are complete.
Upcoming Projects are very delayed by the MICRO BURST.
Loch Lomond Playground should be delivered mid-October
Morningside Playground is on the yard at our shop. We have the border
and mulch. This should start in October. CDBG
