Nourishment of Park Lawns In response to the discussion at the last committee meeting regarding the City employing Chern Lawn and the possibility of phosphorus being put on the City's parks, Mr. Palzer sent the following email: I contact Sherry with TruGreen and she informed me that TruGreen only uses phosphorus in their lawn starter and not in any of the applications they applied in Centerville this year. Additional Lie:htine: Request at Tracie McBride Memorial Park This item was missed and did not go before City Council, I will have it added to the October 8, 2008 City Council Agenda. Messae:e Board at Tracie McBride Memorial Park The committee asked at the last meeting when will the message board be installed in place of the faux window. Mr. Palzer had said there was a message board available at City Hall which could be installed at Tracie McBride Memorial Park, but he was mistaken. There is not a board available. If this is something the committee would still like to do you would need a motion to have staff purchase one. Please consider also who would be keeping this board updated. Please also consider who would be responsible for an additional tlowerbed installed around the Tracie McBride Memorial Park building as discussed at the last meeting. We have one resident volunteer who has adopted the tlowerbed at this park, the rest of the parks (5) are being done by myself, as time permits. Another tlowerbed is probably not going to fit into staff time. Dead Broke Saddle Club/Climbine: Wall The Dead Broke Saddle Club met Tuesday, September 23, 2008 and discussed the donation to Parks & Recreation for the climbing wall and has donated $6,000 for this purpose. This information will be passed on to Public Works and Mr. Larson to order the equipment. Council Member Lakso had mentioned at the September 10, 2008 Council Meeting a neighbor who may be able to purchase the climbing wall for a cheaper price than Midwest Playscapes. Hidden Sprine: Park Update from Mark Statz, 09-02-08 Mark, Veit has replaced the hose-bib connection on the fountain again. We also straighten the fountain and talking with the fountain supplier they recommend a concrete pad poured around to help stabilize. If you want us to provide one please send a design. Regarding the damage to some asphalt areas, Veit is not responsible for these damages. We were substantially complete prior to Centerville's Centennial celebration in the park and the damage was discovered after that. There were numerous trailers and heavy activities during that festival. The damage occurred during that time frame, not during construction. 20f3
