Parking Lots
All City-owned parking lots are inspected annually to address maintenance needs. Minor repairs, as well as preventive and routine maintenance, are handled in-house by the Grounds Maintenance staff. Parking lots are routinely checked for debris, trash, leaves and such. Major repairs and renovations are identified and reported to the Engineering division for consideration in future budget cycles.
Playgrounds
The Grounds Maintenance staff maintains 36 playgrounds in the City. Parks and Open Space’s goal is to provide safe, fun and accessible structures for public use. All
playground designs and contracted installations meet or exceed the standards of the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) Standard F1487, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Guideline Handbook for Public Playground Safety.
Playground equipment inspections are completed on a seasonal basis, weather permitting. Parks staff members who are Certified Playground Safety Inspectors complete all inspections. All maintenance and repairs are done according to ASTM, CPSC, and/or manufacturer’s guidelines.
Ponds
The Grounds Maintenance staff maintains all City-owned ponds. Staff should strive to minimize the use of algaecides and herbicides and evaluate current maintenance practices as outlined in Chapter 7.
