SUBJECT: Parks Maintenance Management Plan
Req uested Action
Motion to approve the Parks Maintenance Management Plan.
Back�round
At the May 17, 2010 City Council Work Session, the City Council reviewed a draft version
of the Parks Maintenance Management Plan. 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 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
subj ected to frequent and intense levels of use throughout a maj ority 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 subj ected
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
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.
Plan Review
Staff incorporated all of the comments and suggestions from City Council and Parks, Trails
and Recreation Committee (PTRC) reviews. The areas added/edited:
• Recycling - The City is currently working with the St. Paul - Ramsey County
Department of Health to establish recycling in our parks. We will now be able to
offer recycling bins in all of our parks.
• Sign l�Iaintenance —��� �ark signs ha�e a�aintena�ce sched�le �ecomme�ded
from the sign vendor.
• Playground Mulch - Under the play structures category, playground mulch
replacement needed to be addressed. There is a replacement schedule included in
the plan that is now referred to.
• Pond, sediment basins and MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System)
outfall inspection and cleaning — The City will follow our SWPPP (Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Program) guidelines to determine necessary cleaning and
maintenance.
The Public Works Director and Parks and Recreation Manager are currently working on a
trail maintenance 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 work session
early in 2011.
Staff has begun to utilize our Manager's Plus Software for all maintenance, including
playgrounds, hard court maintenance, building repairs and turf management. This will
help us track our maintenance costs per park each year.
