GNT Wastewater Conveyance or Leachate Pipeline The contractor is continuing to make progress on the sanitary pipeline along the GNT. They are averaging drilling approximately 2,600 feet per week and are currently 2,000 feet south of CSAH33. Work north of CSAH33 will likely begin the week of June 8th with a closure beginning between CSAH33 and 221st Ave. The section from CSAH1 to CSAH33 will remain closed through June while pipe connections are made, and air release valves are installed along the pipeline. This work will begin from south to north with trail sections opening as the work is completed. The contractor continues to be challenged with pedestrians going around barricades and entering into their work zone. Each time a pedestrian enters the work zone they have to shut down operations and guide the individual around the equipment. The contractor has added additional signage and barricades which has helped, but several people continue to disregard the trail closures. While this has not resulted in substantial delays of the project, it could lead to longer closures to complete the work. Park Playgrounds We have opened all the playgrounds a few weeks ago. We installed new signs to educate users on appropriate social distancing practices and that the playgrounds are not sanitized on a regular basis so take necessary precautions. Multipurpose Facility Fees, Staffing and Commission Staff presented the proposed new facility fees to City Council in December. The Council directed staff to present the information to the youth athletic groups, review private banquet room costs and update the fieldhouse budget projection with a higher expected us. The youth groups suggested a nonresident fee above the resident fee. The feedback and recommendations were discussed at the May 4 City Council work session and we have another work session planned for follow up. WTRP Nature Play Area and Shelter The contractor started work on this project June 2. They are currently removing dirt while city maintenance crews take the dirt to the nearby archery range. Dirt has also been removed for the park shelter. The shelter will be shipped by August 1, 2020 to be installed by the contractor in early August. Woodland Trails Regional Park Archery Range Park Maintenance completed final grading and seeding of the WTRP archery range and installed all the target stands and how holders. We anticipate opening the range in early September after we completed construction of the backstop berm utilizing excess materials form the nature play area. YAC dugout project PIF The YAC dugout project is currently on hold awaiting the dugout kits. DUGOUTS USA informed us they have received permission to begin production operations and their powder coating facility also recently received permission to begin operations. The concrete slabs and footings are installed, and the new dugout benches are at the shop.
