PW Staff report: October 2020 report 11-2-20
To: PRC
From: Director of Public Works – Adam Hawkinson
General:
Staff has been given approval to advertise for a Zamboni operator / snow maintenance part -time
seasonal position with the City. Ben had decided not to return for another season. We greatly
appreciate all the years he did help with flooding, rink maintenance, sidewalks, and Vinterfest.
Lilleskogen:
A thin woodchip top dressing has been added to the new section of pathway. Peterson Exc. returned
to add the rock at the ends of the culverts. We will add more chips to the pathway once the ground
freezes. Posts and rails have been purchased for the split rail fence project. That installation should
occur shortly with the warmer weather approaching.
Wayne Erickson Lighted Ballfield:
Bleachers are almost complete. The upper section and lower section need to be attached on site as
well as the safety fencing and the rails. It is going to look great when on site. Trash services for the
park have ended.
Warming House / Rinks:
The doors on the rink that lead to the open rink have been removed due t o the hinges not operating
correctly. They will be repaired and ready if there is a hockey tournament. Staff is looking at options
to the swinging doors. Boards that can be self-installed may be more appropriate for out uses. Other
repairs to the rink boards have been made by staff.
Hay Lake & Monument:
Side walk has been installed. Back fill is on site. When warmer weather returns staff can start to
backfill the area.
Goose Lake:
The dock and ramp have been removed for this year. Trash services for the year have ended.
