Maintenance and Operations <br /> An important consideration in system planning is the expected maintenance and <br /> operation of system components. In context, the life cycle of a park is essentially the <br /> timeframe between when it is first purchased and developed until it is rebuilt and or <br /> refurbished to serve evolving customer needs. In most cases, parks have a life cycle of <br /> 15 to 20 years, although this will vary substantially depending on the specifics of the park <br /> in question. Maintenance of the park system is currently coordinated through the City's <br /> Public Works Department. <br /> Park maintenance tasks occur on a daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal and weather related <br /> basis. These jobs may include but are not limited to: <br /> • Litter and garbage clean-up <br /> • Mowing and trimming <br /> • Fertilizing and irrigation of turf <br /> • Preventative equipment maintenance <br /> • Equipment repair <br /> • Chemical application <br /> • Restroom maintenance and upkeep <br /> • Facility repair and maintenance <br /> • Moving tables and benches <br /> • Leaf clean-up <br /> • Trail maintenance <br /> • Special event preparation <br /> • Flooding ice rink (future) <br /> • Snow removal <br /> Goals: <br /> 1. To maintain and rehabilitate existing facilities in accordance with their planned <br /> use, safety, and enjoyment. <br /> 2. To assure residents the best possible park experience, while keeping budgets and <br /> resources in mind, through: <br /> • Attention to upkeep including maintenance, safety, and cleanliness. <br /> • Replacement of worn or obsolete equipment and facilities. <br /> • Landscaping. <br /> • Rehabilitation where indicated by changing needs or conditions. <br /> 3. To manage with efficient maintenance procedures which preserve and/or enhance <br /> the environment. <br /> Recommendations: <br /> L <br /> Page 9 of 11 <br />
