R CITY OF ARDEN H= • MEM RANDUK DATE: June 20, 1994 TO: Parks and Recreation Camnittee FROK: Cindy Severtson, Parks and Recreation Director C 5 SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Ccamittee Update Maintenance Report The park maintenance staff has been working with the public works staff to repair a storm sewer drainage area. This storm sewer nuns under our trail near Lexington Avenue from Cuummings Park. The area under our trail was eroding away due to the large an-cunt of water that nuns through on its way to Karth Lake. This was a potential safety hazard since someone walking or biking on the trail could have gone off the edge and fallen into the eroded area. The trail had to be closed temporarily to allow for the trucks and equipment to travel back and forth from Cummings Park. There was also an area of trail . that was breaking up because of tree roots growing up through the trail. The trail was repaired by our staff after the drainage area was filled in and new pipes were installed under the trail. The trail is back in working order and the previously eroded areas have been filled. The tennis court at Hazelnut Park has been resurfaced. Lines have also been painted on the basketball court at Hazelnut. Trees and shrubs have been planted at the new structure at County Road E and Lexington. Edging and wood chips will be added as time allows. The Cl-�nmings Park fencing project is complete. However, our crew will use timbers to build a retaining wall in back of the dug out areas. This will help to stop erosion and improve the appearance of that area. An eagle scout, Paul Straumann, has been working on projects at Cummings Park to fulfill his eagle scout requirements. The projects he is working on include; painting the hockey rink boards, planting trees and staining the warming house. It
