NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE ATHLETICS <br />3003 Snelling Avenue North, St. Paul, Minnesota 55113-1598 (651) 631-5219 <br />December 2, 1999 <br />Tom Moore <br />Arden Hills Park and Recreation Department <br />4364 West Round Lake Road <br />Arden Hills, MN 55113 <br />Dear Tom: <br />After our meeting at Presbyterian Homes I said that I would consolidate some of our facts and <br />figures relative to the costs and maintenance of the Presbyterian Homes practice field. <br />Here are estimates that Randy McGrew has put together based on historical maintenance at the field: <br />• Fertilizer expense - $960 (over 4 applications) <br />Seeding - 350 <br />Painting - 625 <br />Total: $193 5 for supplies <br />Note: the above figures are for supplies only, they do not include the labor and equipment. <br />Mowing - once per week from June 1 to Oct. 1 (approx. $785 for labor) <br />Irrigation - $3000 (3 hrs a day, 4 days a week for 22 weeks; labor only) <br />Aeration - $300 for labor and equipment (4 to 5 times a year) <br />Spraying - $300 for labor (as needed) <br />Porta-potty - (8/13 - 11/2) cost $350 <br />Usage by Arden Hills: (no usage before second Monday of June; from Aug. 1 to Sept. 1; or after <br />Nov. 1). During summer: every other Saturday between second Monday of June and August 1 <br />(approx. 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.); and in the fall: Tuesday and Wednesday nights (6 - 8 pm) from Sept. <br />to Oct. 30. Also in the fall 4 Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. <br />Potential irrigation system installation: cost of approximately $5,000. Northwestern College pay <br />$4,000 and Arden Hills pay $1,000 for the installation of this system (assuming Presbyterian Homes <br />approves the installation, and that they will not utilize this property for at least the next five years). <br />Northwestern College would do all mowing, lining, and maintenance of the field. Arden Hills pay <br />•NWC $300 per month for the months of June, July, August, September and October of each year <br />they utilize the property (assuming irrigation system installed and Arden Hills pays $1,000). If the <br />irrigation system is not installed, and we have to do manual irrigation, I would recommend that <br />Arden Hills pay $350 per month for June - October. <br />s, <br />t: <br />Isaiah 40:31 Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. <br />They shall rise as on wings of eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. <br />
