Item 9.2 <br /> City Elk Memorandum <br /> River <br /> To: Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> From: Tim Sevcik,Park Superintendent <br /> Date: March 2, 2017 <br /> Subject: Staff Report <br /> Hillside City Park <br /> Staff is wrapping up tree clearing operations at Hillside City Park with likely one week of <br /> work remaining. Due to the warm weather in February and the melting of the snow, staff <br /> was unable to continue burning brush on the property, thus the remaining brush will need to <br /> be hauled out of the forest and staged in the southern clearing in the event that conditions <br /> allow further burning. If brush cannot be burned,it will be chipped along with the logs <br /> generated from the removals by a contracted vendor. <br /> Bailey Point Nature Preserve <br /> Demolition of the old horse stable building at Bailey Point Nature Preserve was conducted <br /> the last week of February. Staff conducted the demolition internally resulting in minimal <br /> costs for asbestos testing and landfill fees. Total cost for this demo project is anticipated to <br /> be less than $1,500. Final grading and seeding of the site and the access trail to the barn will <br /> be conducted in the spring when conditions permit. <br /> Spring Clean-ups <br /> Staff has taken advantage of the unusually warm weather to begin spring clean-up activity in <br /> several of the city parks. Clean-ups will continue as time and weather permit. Additionally, <br /> several smaller projects are being conducted to spruce up facilities in preparation for the <br /> busy summer season. <br /> r'ivitREo oY <br /> N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2017\03-09-17 PRC Packet\9.2 Park Superintendents NATURE <br /> Report.docx <br />
