MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 17, 2010 Item 2.0
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Patrick Klaers, City Administrator
FROM: Michelle Olson, Parks and Recreation Manager
SUBJECT: Parks Maintenance Management Plan
Background
At the March 29, 2010 City Council Regular Meeting, the Council approved installation of
an irrigation system at Cummings Park. The City Council voiced concerns at this meeting
that our fertilizing program had been discontinued in recent years and they would like to
see a park maintenance plan presented at an upcoming work session. Since that time, staff
has been working on creating a standard for all parks in the City. Staff researched various
park maintenance standards and created a Parks Maintenance Management Plan that
includes a four level system designed for identifying and/or prescribing specific levels of
cultural treatments to turf and grounds to achieve designed goals bases upon the use of each
park, public visibility and aesthetic considerations. The draft Parks Maintenance
Management Plan is included for Council review. The four levels are listed below.
Level I: This is the highest level of maintenance performed at our large
community parks and/or athletic complexes. The turf areas in these parks are _
subjected to frequent and intense levels of use throughout a majority of the growing
season. This level is commonly associated with athletic field sites programmed for
organized sports. Maintenance at this level maintains the park or facility at a
standard sufficient to ensure a well-kept appearance. Maintenance issues and
concerns are given a high priority. Parks categorized in this level: Cummings,
Charles Perry, Hazelnut.
Level II: This level of maintenance is performed at smaller neighborhood parks.
Maintenance at this level insures that the parks remain clean and safe, while
forgoing more specialized and customized care. Turf areas are generally subjected
to moderate levels of use and often associated with high public visibility.
Maintenance issues and concerns are evaluated on a case by case basis, with safety
items receiving highest priority. Parks categorized in this level: Arden Manor,
Arden Oaks, Floral, Freeway, Ingerson, Royal Hills, Sampson, Valentine.
Level III: This level of maintenance is performed at mini parks or park green
spaces that have typically low activity (few park amenities). Maintenance at this

2
level is at a moderately low level usually associated with low visitation or remote
parks. Parks categorized in this level: Johanna Marsh and Lindey's
Level IV: Low level of maintenance usually associated with low level of
development and undeveloped areas. This generally includes areas where ground
cover shall be left in a non-maintained (natural) condition. Examples include
wooded areas, open spaces, wetlands, and community preserves. Parks categorized
in this level: Crepeau Nature Preserve
Each level lays out a recommended maintenance plan that is designed to act as a guide to
help with the upkeep and maintenance of each level park. Each of our parks focuses on
different activities and has different levels of use. This plan is designed to help staff
maintain each park at the level that is most appropriate for its general day to day use. Our
playground equipment and hard surface replacement schedules have been included in the
plan and are important to the overall upkeep and safety of our parks. The park equipment
(mowers/vehicles/tractors/etc...) is listed within the Capital Improvement Program.
Staff is currently working on adding trail maintenance to this plan. Although this process
is in progress, staff has not completed this portion of the plan. Goodpointe Technologies
assessed our trails and gave each a rating. These ratings will help to establish a
replacement schedule. Specific maintenance tasks for each trail need to be created similar
to the proposed park maintenance standards. Staff will continue to work on this and bring
back to Council for review at a later date.
Budget
All City parks used to receive fertilizer and weed treatments two-three times a year.
However, after 2006, the Public Works Department cut these applications out of the yearly
schedule. The turf in all of the City parks is in poor shape. The proposed maintenance
plan recommends fertilizer and weed control 2-4 times a year, depending on the level.
Once a regular schedule is established, there will be some parks that will only need
fertilizer as needed. Below is the program that staff has established for this
spring/summer/fall in our parks and the estimated supply and labor cost:

The City is currently working with the St. Paul - Ramsey County Department of Health to
establish recycling in our parks. They were able to offer free recycling bins for all of our
parks and have placed an order for us. Staff is working on an efficient way to have our
recycling picked up from the parks. Eureka does not offer a service for this. The City is
considering using a second dumpster at Perry Park for the recycling. There are multiple
options for types of pick ups and staff is currently analyzing which option will be the most
time and cost efficient.
Recommendation _
Staff has provided this information for discussion purposes.

Parks Management Program
A four level system designed for identifying and/or prescribing specific levels of cultural
treatments to turf and grounds to achieve desired goals based upon the intensity of use,public
visibility, and aesthetic considerations. The following are a description of this system.
LEVEL I
This highest level of maintenance is performed at our large community parks and/or athletic _
complexes. Turf areas subjected to frequent and intense levels of use throughout a majority of
the growing season. Commonly associated with athletic field sites programmed for organized
sports. Maintenance at this level maintains the park or facility at a standard sufficient to ensure
a well-kept appearance. Maintenance issues &concerns are given a high priority. Parks
categorized in this level:
CUMMINGS, CHARLES PERRY, HAZELNUT
1. TURF CARE. Premium quality turf management under a program of intense cultural
treatments. Mowing to take place every three to five days. Aeration as required, not
less than two times per.year. Trimming to take place weekly at a minimum. Top
dressing, seeding, and sodding as needed.
2. FERTILIZER. Turf is fertilized three times per year. Broadleaf and other weed control
as needed, usually two times per year
3. IRRIGATION. Systems to be used and in good repair as to conserve water and irrigate
only when needed to maintain high quality turf, usually done every two to three days.
Systems are monitored daily during peak season. Maintenance activities include head
repairs & adjustments, nozzle replacement, flow adjustments and vandalism repairs.
4. GARBAGE AND LITTER. Garbage and litter is picked up daily, subject to variability
based on weather and scheduled uses. Extremely high visitation may increase frequency.
5. PRUNING. Frequency dictated primarily by species and variety of trees and shrubs.
6. LIGHTING. Damaged systems should be repaired as quickly as they are discovered.
Bulb replacement should be done during the first working day after the outage is
reported.
7. SURFACES. Sweeping, cleaning, and washing of surfaces needs to be done so that at
no time does an accumulation of sand, dirt, glass, or leaves distract from the looks or
safety of the area. Repainting or re-staining of structures should occur when weather or
wear deteriorate the appearance of the covering. Graffiti should be washed off or painted
over by the next working day.
3
8. REPAIRS. Repairs to all elements of the design should be done immediately upon
discovery provided replacement parts and personnel are available to accomplish the job.
When disruption to the public might be major and the repair not critical, repairs may be
postponed to a time period which is least disruptive.
9. INSPECTIONS. Inspections of this area should be done daily by a staff member, and
proper forms should be filled out.
10. FLORAL PLANTINGS. Flowers and shrubs weeded a minimum of twice a month or -
more as needed. The desired outcome is weed-free. Fertilize as needed.
11. REST ROOMS. Permanent rest rooms, when open to the public should be cleaned
daily. Portable rest rooms should have regular servicing by an outside contractor.
However, if any servicing is noted, it should become a priority of staff.
12. PARK AMENITIES. Includes items such as fountains, flag poles, parking and crowd
control devices,benches, tables, flags and banners. Maintenance requirements can vary
drastically,but for this level, it should be of the highest possible order.
13. PLAY STRUCTURES. Playground areas are monitored daily and inspected monthly.
High priority to fix or remove hazards due to high use by small children.
LEVEL II
This level of maintenance is performed at smaller neighborhood parks. Maintenance at this
level insures that the park remain clean & safe, while forgoing more specialized and customized
care. Turf areas generally subjected to moderate levels of use and often associated with high
public visibility. Maintenance issues &concerns are evaluated on a case by case basis, with
safety items receiving highest priority. Parks categorized in this level:
ARDEN MANOR, ARDEN OAKS, FLORAL, FREEWAY,INGERSON, ROYAL HILLS,

12. PARK AMENITIES. Should be maintained for safety, function, and high quality
appearance as per established design.
13. PLAY STRUCTURES. Playground areas are monitored daily and inspected monthly. -
High priority to fix or remove hazards due to high use by small children.
LEVEL III
This level of maintenance is performed at mini parks or park green spaces that have typically low
activity(few park amenities). Maintenance at this level is at a moderately low level usually
associated with low visitation or remote parks. Parks categorized in this level:
JOHANNA MARSH, LINDEY'S
1. TURF CARE. Mowing and trimming to take place every seven to ten working days.
Normally not aerated unless turf quality indicates a need. Topdressing, seeding, and
sodding done only when major bare spots appear.
