City of fri <br /> .11'1 ..„ <br /> ElkMemorandum Item 8.2 <br /> River <br /> To: Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> From: Tim Sevcik,Park Superintendent <br /> Date: May 5, 2017 <br /> Subject: Staff Report <br /> Athletic Complexes <br /> The maintenance crew has completed athletic field preparations for the spring and all fields <br /> are in great condition for play. Ongoing improvements will continue to take place <br /> throughout the summer with the additions of the scoreboards and potential fencing repairs <br /> at Oak Knoll and YAC. With the savings on the scoreboard project,we are looking to <br /> conduct some fence repairs on the backstops on YAC and Oak Knoll adding protective <br /> screening at the top of the backstops and replacing some of the lower fencing of the <br /> backstops. This should improve safety for spectators viewing the games from foul balls as <br /> well as improving the overall aesthetics of the field. <br /> Volunteer Projects <br /> The Cargill tree planting event at YAC went great with Cargill providing 12 volunteers to <br /> install 18 larger spruce and pine trees around the northwest corner of the baseball fields. <br /> These trees will provide for future screening and wind breaks in the future as well as <br /> providing increased aesthetics. <br /> Twenty Boy Scouts and their parents came out to Hillside City Park and planted 400 <br /> bareroot seedlings in the area affected by logging from this past winter. This is the ninth <br /> year of tree planting by this Boy Scout group and they already asked if we could have them <br /> back again next year. <br /> POWERED IP <br /> N:ADepartments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2017\05-10-17 PRC Packet\8.2 Park Superintendents NATURE <br /> Report.docx <br />
