4 <br /> Memorandum Item: 8.2 <br /> Elk <br /> River <br /> To: Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> From: Tim Sevcik, Street and Park Superintendent <br /> Date: November 14, 2018 <br /> Subject: Staff Report <br /> Park Wayfinding Signage <br /> City staff is working with the cities vendor, Graphic House, to finalize the designs and installation for <br /> the new park wayfinding signs. For 2018 three of the monument signs will be installed at Orono Park, <br /> the Youth Athletic Complex, and Hillside City Park. In addition, 14 of the neighborhood parks will <br /> receive new signage in 2018 as part of the wayfinding program. Park Maintenance staff has removed the <br /> existing signs over the past couple of weeks and have prepared the sites for the vendor to install the new <br /> signs. It is anticipated that all of the signs for 2018 will be installed by late November with some <br /> remaining work to be conducted in 2019. <br /> Athletic Field Maintenance <br /> Park Maintenance staff completed fall maintenance on the athletic fields including topdressing of the <br /> football/lacrosse fields at YAC and OKAC and the four softball fields at DAAC. Additional work will <br /> likely be needed to restore the turf at DAAC in the spring as a full summer without irrigation has taken <br /> its toll on the existing turf. Staff anticipates these fields will need a heavy treatment of crabgrass <br /> preventer in the spring followed by multiple fertilizer and seeding treatments throughout the course of <br /> the summer. It will likely take the majority of 2019 to re-establish quality turf on these fields. <br /> 'P'ONERED BY <br /> N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2018\11-14-18 PRC Packet\8.2 Street and Park NATURE <br /> URE <br /> Superintendents Report.docx <br />
