I'm going to go ahead and read off this public speaking isn't my forte 20 00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:14,700 so I prepared a little something that you guys all have in your emails but we'll go from here. 21 00:09:16,340 --> 00:09:20,900 First off there was two issues that I wanted to bring to your attention tonight but one of them has already been addressed 22 00:09:20,900 --> 00:09:29,940 We rent a field from 730 p.m. to 9 p.m. and the lights during our first couple practices were cutting off at 9 o'clock. 23 00:09:30,660 --> 00:09:46,700 So I asked Jay Jay, ran them to extend the timer to about 10, 15 minutes past to allow for my team to gather their equipment and families and siblings and everyone to get an exit park safely while the lights were sold. 24 00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:52,240 Because there is no ambient light there whatsoever in the walkway. No pathway lights and nothing 25 00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:55,920 So that was addressed. So I thank you for that 26 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:01,180 That was quick too. He they did that within a day. So I'm thankful for that 27 00:10:04,370 --> 00:10:09,950 I also wanted to bring to your attention the lighting levels during play at Oak Metal 28 00:10:10,650 --> 00:10:17,250 Lowerfield our team rents a field from 7.30 to 9 p.m. And during practices the field lighting is extremely low 29 00:10:17,250 --> 00:10:28,930 The limited visibility makes it difficult for players to track, bat and thrown balls, visibility for pictures and catchers for conditions for batting practice, which increases the risk of injury. 30 00:10:29,870 --> 00:10:44,290 According to the Illumination Engineering Society, IES, they recommend that amateur and youth baseball fields generally require average illumination levels of approximately 30 to 50 foot candle in the infield and 20 to 30 foot candle in the outfield. 31 00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:49,470 The current lighting conditions at Oak Medal falls significantly below these recommended levels. 32 00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:55,710 We understand and appreciate that a full LED lighting upgrade is scheduled for some time in October, November. 33 00:10:56,350 --> 00:11:02,810 However, the current conditions present an immediate safety concern for the teams and families using the facility prior to the upgrade. 34 00:11:03,630 --> 00:11:05,550 Sunset was done recently. 35 00:11:05,670 --> 00:11:06,370 It looks beautiful. 36 00:11:06,970 --> 00:11:08,150 The Clover is great. 37 00:11:08,850 --> 00:11:10,850 Sunset 5 still is lacking. 38 00:11:10,850 --> 00:11:16,390 And since that six is pretty good still, but the Clover is excellent. 39 00:11:19,210 --> 00:11:24,650 To help improve player safety until the lighting project is completed, we respectfully request 40 00:11:24,650 --> 00:11:29,050 that the current lighting system being suspected, maintenance to ensure it's operating 41 00:11:29,050 --> 00:11:30,850 at maximum intended performance. 42 00:11:31,510 --> 00:11:37,750 This may include replacing any failed bulbs, addressing fixture issues or performing any other 43 00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:43,250 necessary maintenance to improve visibility turning play in the email that I sent to you all. 44 00:11:43,410 --> 00:11:49,350 There are several pictures of lighting measurements that I took using my device that showed 45 00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:56,070 the insignificant lighting levels, our insufficient lighting levels compared to what the IES recommends 46 00:11:56,070 --> 00:12:04,690 for proper safe field play during nighttime. So that's what I got. Thank you, yes. 47 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:16,080 Thank you for coming. Do we have any other speakers this evening online or in chambers? 48 00:12:16,460 --> 00:12:28,030 Not at this moment. Thank you. Moving on to presentation. Item D1, the redwood tree presentation. 49 00:12:39,790 --> 00:12:46,610 All right. How's everybody doing tonight? My name is Jason Call. Parkman is supervisor for the city of Brownwood. 50 00:12:46,610 --> 00:12:54,670 been here about 18 years and basically I helped manage the tree maintenance contract, the 51 00:12:54,670 --> 00:13:00,630 our area, landscape maintenance contract, and some different life pest control in the 52 00:13:00,630 --> 00:13:07,810 tree lighting downtown. But I'm here to talk about the redwood trees in the city of Brentwood 53 00:13:07,810 --> 00:13:14,390 and that most people around that have lived here for a while have seen some decline in certain 54 00:13:14,390 --> 00:13:21,470 trees around town. Just a little bit of a backstory we maintain over 35,000 trees in the city 55 00:13:21,470 --> 00:13:26,170 of Brentwood. This is done in a five-year grid pruning program with our tree maintenance 56 00:13:26,170 --> 00:13:34,570 contractor. In this program they prune anywhere from 6,500 to 7,000 trees a year. So that's 57 00:13:34,570 --> 00:13:40,290 just our grid pruning portion of the contract. This is also supplemented by park staff, 58 00:13:44,370 --> 00:13:44,370 park 59 00:13:44,370 --> 00:13:57,210 requests, pruning for residents and city people. So that does help quite a bit in our contract with that. 60 00:13:59,730 --> 00:14:05,550 We, the partman's staff also takes care of a lot of the emergency call outs, which saves a lot 61 00:14:05,550 --> 00:14:11,570 of money for our treatment and contract. But coastal redwoods, everybody's familiar with them. 62 00:14:11,570 --> 00:14:18,090 lives in California, it's from California, beautiful trees, they're fast growing, they have 63 00:14:18,090 --> 00:14:26,230 beautiful green foliage, they are evergreen trees, so they hold their foliage all year, but 64 00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:33,230 unfortunately they do not grow well in Brunwood and the valleys. There are need of habitat, 65 00:14:33,230 --> 00:14:41,230 is obviously the coast of California and Southern Oregon where they rely heavily on the coastal 66 00:14:41,230 --> 00:14:43,650 fog that comes in on a daily basis, 67 00:14:46,810 --> 00:14:50,090 which is a huge thing for coastal redwoods because that 68 00:14:50,090 --> 00:14:55,270 fog they intake through their leaves and it falls into the forest for which creates water throughout 69 00:14:55,270 --> 00:14:59,970 warm summer months, Brentwood, as we all know. 70 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,980 So, from what it's not like the coast everybody could feel it right now. It's a little different today out there than just the blazing 100 degrees sun. But it's very hot here dry wind. We have the delta breeze that blows year round. As we all know. We also irrigate, I don't know, the specific percentage, but a large amount of our landscaping is irrigated with non-pollable water, which is a great thing. We're saving water recycling waste water. 71 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,280 from the city of Brownwood using out in our landscape 72 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:33,900 environment. 73 00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:38,880 The problem is, it's over time when these coastal red 74 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,740 would stake in that water through the tree to their leaves, 75 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,080 the salt crystallizes on the leaves, and over time, 76 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:52,520 that salt slowly starts to burn and scorched the leaves, 77 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,460 and will eventually lead to leaf drop and possible death 78 00:15:56,460 --> 00:15:59,000 of the tree, because it's just the salts 79 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,860 are soaking the nutrients out of the canopy of the tree. 80 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,660 So, oops, there I hate brownwood, 81 00:16:12,570 --> 00:16:14,630 fancy clicker here. 82 00:16:15,650 --> 00:16:17,370 So brownwood's side conditions, 83 00:16:20,190 --> 00:16:25,970 so a lot of the redwoods that are planted in brownwood 84 00:16:25,970 --> 00:16:33,350 are planted in developed sites, so that means that, you know, the ground is heavily 85 00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:39,150 compacted to meet, you know, the city standards for construction around, you know, all the 86 00:16:39,150 --> 00:16:40,470 development sites. 87 00:16:42,510 --> 00:16:46,950 So that does not help either, because the construction around the trees 88 00:16:46,950 --> 00:16:52,070 compacts the poor space in the soils, which also makes it hard for the water to 89 00:16:52,070 --> 00:16:55,370 particularly through the soil to get to the root system. 90 00:17:00,660 --> 00:17:02,820 So, what are we doing? 91 00:17:03,860 --> 00:17:05,380 We use a lot of mulch. 92 00:17:05,380 --> 00:17:11,760 We use recycled shipper mulch to help keep the soil moist for the trees. 93 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:20,560 We also, as part of that, believe it's SB 1383, we're now required to recycle a certain 94 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,640 percentage of green waste back into the city of Brownwood based on the amount of green 95 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:31,680 waste at the city collects and that we produce by mowing and pruning and such. So that has 96 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:39,540 helped. We do have a large supply of mulch at our disposal. 97 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,040 We also, we are replanting the 98 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:51,680 redwoods that do die. We've figured out different species of evergreen trees that do thrive 99 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:57,300 in the non-potable water and Brentwood soil and weather conditions, so this is deodorous 100 00:17:57,300 --> 00:18:03,920 seeders, live oats, Southern Magnolia, and some different cypress species that we've been 101 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:11,120 experimenting with around town. We're also using our true maintenance contractor A+. They've done 102 00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:17,980 several, they call it a deep water recharge, it's where they inject water, biochar and different 103 00:18:17,980 --> 00:18:20,280 fertilizers into the soil around the tree, 104 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,200 based on the diameter of the tree to help replenish 105 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,860 the nutrients and water in the root system 106 00:18:27,860 --> 00:18:29,000 of four of the trees. 107 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,120 We've seen some good and good effects and vads. 108 00:18:33,740 --> 00:18:38,040 Some of these trees are in sites where it's just too much 109 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,400 sun exposure and there's nothing that's really going to help it. 110 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,300 We just kind of have to remove them and go with the species 111 00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:55,440 that is more suitable for the conditions here in Brentwood. That is about it. You have any questions? 112 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,920 Great. Well, thank you for coming, Jason. Um, Kristen, does anyone have any question for Jason? 113 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:10,480 Question right? Hi Jason. Hello. Um, there's a certain section that I've been yelling about 114 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,760 for about six months now. 115 00:19:12,780 --> 00:19:15,360 You probably are familiar with the site, 116 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,160 but I'm not understanding why we're letting the trees die there 117 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,660 and not replacing them. 118 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:28,960 They're city-owned trees in the city-owned, you know, 119 00:19:29,220 --> 00:19:35,440 section between the back fences of homes and the sidewalk. 120 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:45,640 And what do I do to try and get somebody to address this area? 121 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,760 Are you referring to any Griffith? 122 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:50,120 Yep. 123 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,580 So just a little backstory. 124 00:19:53,980 --> 00:19:59,020 So there were Raywood ash trees there several years ago that had alcohol in their space. 125 00:19:59,260 --> 00:20:02,080 It's only about two and a half, three feet of a planter area. 126 00:20:02,220 --> 00:20:02,500 Right. 127 00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:05,840 So, it's not good for many trees, let alone any. 128 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,320 So, the railroad ashes were removed. 129 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,120 Everybody those are on Karen Parkway. 130 00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:13,220 The huge railroad ashes on Karen and Balfour. 131 00:20:13,860 --> 00:20:14,440 They were removed. 132 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,480 We put red maples in. 133 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,620 They're in that process. 134 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,780 We had several residents or not select residents. 135 00:20:21,820 --> 00:20:25,160 I should say that we're not happy with having another tree behind their house. 136 00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:26,560 That's not their decision. 137 00:20:26,820 --> 00:20:28,200 I understand. 138 00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:30,340 But when they're yelling at our contractors 139 00:20:30,340 --> 00:20:38,060 and threatening them, I'm not going to put my contractors in any situation like that, so we 140 00:20:38,060 --> 00:20:44,300 just decided to not plant there. What we are in the process of doing this, Sandra, is that we're 141 00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:51,880 in the process of getting a proposal to relanscape that section from Griffith to Lorraine, 142 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:00,320 the 143 00:21:01,220 --> 00:21:13,260 We are going to add some trees that aren't going to affect any residents and then all new shrubs and new mulch throughout the area right there. 144 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,760 Jason, what does a resident do? 145 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,580 Who does not agree with your approach to the answer? 146 00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:29,160 I do not think that select neighbors have the right to determine what we do in city on property. 147 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:36,400 If I can chime in real quick, this is getting a little bit off the topic and it's not an actual agenda item. 148 00:21:36,420 --> 00:21:38,240 This was just the Prince presentation. 149 00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:42,700 We can certainly talk offline or have a future agenda item. 150 00:21:43,260 --> 00:21:47,260 For this sake, it was just a redwood tree discussion and presentation. 151 00:21:48,060 --> 00:21:48,620 I understand. 152 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,880 I do not want to wait for an agenda item because I'll be gone next month. 153 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,060 So what are my options on this? 154 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,020 I'm not going to lay down and let this happen. 155 00:22:02,340 --> 00:22:07,360 I understand you had a conversation with the park and director, at least that's what I heard from Horath. 156 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:07,860 I do. 157 00:22:07,860 --> 00:22:09,480 I spoke with him today about that. 158 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,820 We'll continue discussing this item and certainly get back to you. 159 00:22:14,860 --> 00:22:17,100 Commissioner, once we have some concrete information. 160 00:22:19,180 --> 00:22:19,840 All right. 161 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:20,820 Thank you. 162 00:22:20,820 --> 00:22:21,220 Thank you. 163 00:22:21,460 --> 00:22:22,340 Thank you. 164 00:22:22,860 --> 00:22:25,720 Any other commissioners have any questions or comments? 165 00:22:26,620 --> 00:22:26,920 Yes. 166 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:27,520 Hi, Jason. 167 00:22:27,820 --> 00:22:29,960 Thank you so much for bringing this. 168 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:40,380 This forward with the redwoods. I was definitely one person who notices them. I love the redwoods. I guess my question would be from 169 00:22:40,380 --> 00:22:59,180 Highway 4 coming into town leading up to Down Sand Creek from Highway 4 leading down to Brentwood Boulevard. Quite a few of them are definitely looking in the 170 00:22:59,180 --> 00:23:01,900 What is your guys' plan for removing those? 171 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,100 So I believe by the railroad tracks, that's how it goes understand. 172 00:23:06,220 --> 00:23:10,640 Yeah, I just worry with fire hazards, but I'm glad to hear that you guys are replacing 173 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:11,160 them. 174 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,760 Right, so Park Staff has already removed, that would be the south side. 175 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,320 We removed it, it doesn't trees about maybe six weeks ago, and since then we've had 176 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:28,300 even more fail on that side, but we do have on our schedule to remove all the dead ones 177 00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:33,980 on the north side as well and then yes we will be replacing them with you know more suitable 178 00:23:33,980 --> 00:23:38,500 species and evergreen species like the Dador Seas. It looks similar they're just a lighter green 179 00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:46,280 shade and the silver blue areas on the cypress is that we're using. There's someone in the Minnesota 180 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:51,040 trail they're really cool they have like this blueish silver tint they're you know really pretty 181 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,300 tree that and they do really well and drought so that's you know obviously another thing that we look 182 00:23:56,300 --> 00:23:58,140 for, you know, only choose the species. 183 00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,600 So it is on our schedule. 184 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,440 And we will get that taken care of. 185 00:24:03,260 --> 00:24:04,240 Thank you so much. 186 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,160 I really appreciate your presentation today 187 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,000 and all that information. 188 00:24:07,420 --> 00:24:07,760 You're welcome. 189 00:24:08,380 --> 00:24:08,500 Thanks. 190 00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:10,200 Thank you. 191 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,640 You have anything? 192 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:14,040 Do you have anything? 193 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:14,560 No, I'm sorry. 194 00:24:14,820 --> 00:24:18,820 OK, I just had a quick question about the tree itself. 195 00:24:19,020 --> 00:24:21,980 What are some signs for people that have them on their property? 196 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,060 I know that's their job to take care of. 197 00:24:26,060 --> 00:24:30,520 what are some signs we said look out for if you have a large red but on your property 198 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:37,860 if it might be deteriorating? So just you know the slight browning and the you know the foliage 199 00:24:38,380 --> 00:24:43,400 luckily residents are all on the potable water systems so their water's a lot 200 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,820 you know it's a lot cleaner and then then non-potable the non-potable water 201 00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:53,800 the process of treating it I'm not exactly sure how or what but it creates a lot of 202 00:24:53,800 --> 00:25:01,660 salt into that water, you know, it's still fine to irrigate with, but just the treatment process 203 00:25:01,660 --> 00:25:07,480 does that to the water and redwood is a particular species that just does not like it. 204 00:25:08,580 --> 00:25:13,600 So, yet, browning in the canopy, if that happens, we always recommend, you know, contacting, 205 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:19,300 you know, a certified tree company or a certified arborist to, you know, come take a look at 206 00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:25,220 Because redwoods, you know, a large redwood does require a lot of water during the summer months. 207 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,920 So, you know, a lot of irrigation systems have a hard time keeping up with the demand that they require. 208 00:25:31,780 --> 00:25:33,620 Yeah. Okay. Great. Thank you so much. 209 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,900 Can I add to that real quick? 210 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:41,340 Because that just brought to mind some of the trees we've experienced that completely looked dead. 211 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:41,860 Uh-huh. 212 00:25:41,980 --> 00:25:46,900 Once that's root system gets flushed with good clean water, specifically in a good winter. 213 00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:52,800 That's what they strive on. It's good clean rain water. You'll see a tree that looks completely dead 214 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,980 and the next season it'll look beautifully green. So redwoods also naturally, even though they are 215 00:25:57,980 --> 00:26:06,640 evergreen, they will detonate at times. So again, I guess the point is don't jump to conclusions 216 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:12,100 that your trees dead. A good heavy soaking consistent water certainly helps it. 217 00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:20,310 Yeah, thank you Aaron and then also, you know, we have three certified arbor songs staff. So residents can always give us a call and we can take a look at the 218 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,360 Okay, thanks so much. We like to appreciate it. 219 00:26:28,740 --> 00:26:35,200 Okay moving on to informational reports from commissioners club committees liaison and staff 220 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,530 Elaine, who's a start tonight 221 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,980 Sure, good evening chair and commissioner 222 00:26:44,860 --> 00:26:50,000 Some of my updates are kind of repeats from last month, but just so you don't forget about them. 223 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:55,820 For Oak Metal Park, we're going to try to do the word of contract in September to City Council. 224 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,700 And the Apple Hill Trellis project is still moving forward. 225 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:07,540 I am waiting for a conceptual plan from our contractor engineer, contract engineer. 226 00:27:07,540 --> 00:27:19,580 And then the walnut park conceptual plan is coming tonight for hopefully the commissions approval and then I'll move forward for a water contract tentatively in October. 227 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,800 And that's it. 228 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,060 Good evening. 229 00:27:27,380 --> 00:27:28,660 Thank you chair and commission. 230 00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:29,820 Yes, absolutely. 231 00:27:29,940 --> 00:27:33,620 The Sand Creek Sports Complex moving along rapidly once again. 232 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:40,080 If you've driven by there, you've noticed the numerous trees and other plant material has been delivered to the site. 233 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:45,880 I will give our actually Janice our partner some credit for rejecting quite a bit of some trees that 234 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:53,220 showed up that were infested with bugs and a couple of few trees that had multiple leaders and 235 00:27:53,220 --> 00:27:59,160 or no leader. So she inspected them and it's rejected them. The contractor agreed and we already had 236 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:05,840 some of those replaced on site. So they are planting trees as we speak which is awesome to start 237 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,800 and it starts to look like a park now. 238 00:28:08,060 --> 00:28:10,020 We've got some greenery out there. 239 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,740 The sidewalk around the maintenance buildings 240 00:28:12,740 --> 00:28:13,660 been installed. 241 00:28:14,340 --> 00:28:16,320 There's not a whole lot of concrete work left. 242 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,900 They installed at the westernmost entrance 243 00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:23,080 that went in today, and then a lot of flatwork 244 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,360 around that photo-op area, which is actually turning 245 00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:26,640 out to be really cool. 246 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,340 So they've sand blasted the wood or the name Brentwood 247 00:28:30,340 --> 00:28:33,420 and then flooring of it, and then that'll get painted black 248 00:28:33,420 --> 00:28:38,180 sort of really stand out and pop right underneath that sign that says San Creek Sports. 249 00:28:38,740 --> 00:28:44,800 So really cool things taking place out there as we are remain unscheduled and under budget. 250 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:52,000 Hoping to have it under at least a maintenance watch towards the end of October, but we won't 251 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,600 have any power to the site, PG&E's given us a date of September 23rd before we actually get 252 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,040 power to the site, which obviously that means we won't have lighting until then, we won't 253 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:09,260 have an irrigation controller. Contractors manually watering in place of a controller and then 254 00:29:09,260 --> 00:29:14,120 all the other electrical, you know, the obviously computers and the security system and everything 255 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,940 else that goes with that. So we won't even be able to install or start ramping up any of the 256 00:29:18,940 --> 00:29:26,040 electrical till after towards the end of September. But either way, a lot, a lot taken place 257 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:33,580 there. City staff park staff along with their contractor have applied over 150 yards of a 258 00:29:33,580 --> 00:29:39,600 cover two mulch which has been provided through the state and the public work solid waste 259 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:46,720 department. We've put down locations including Garen Park, Creekside Park and Pelican Park 260 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:54,140 and staff sortered another 150 yards of product to be utilized throughout this the city as we keep going. 261 00:29:54,140 --> 00:29:59,980 So, which it's very similar to a walk-on bark, but it's also nice because it's a no-cost to this. 262 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,600 So it's a nice product that staff continues to put down. One unfortunate item has been occurring 263 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:17,960 out at Daytona Park, the belt swings and the toddler swings have been vandalized by dogs. And 264 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:25,880 individual seems to be using the belts for a two toy further dogs. So we have pictures, we have 265 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:33,840 PD, inform PD. Again, unless they see it actually taking place, nothing can happen. But in 266 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:39,060 the meantime, we've taken the swings down until we configure out a better course of action, 267 00:30:39,700 --> 00:30:45,880 which might be the ADA type swings. At least get some kind of swing back in there because 268 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,340 they're plastic. Maybe the person won't utilize that, because they seem to like this rubber, 269 00:30:50,340 --> 00:30:58,480 which is unfortunate, but so again, staffs doing what we can because that is two belt swings 270 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:04,540 and two toddler swings. So that's again out of Daytona Park. Sorry for the inconvenience 271 00:31:04,540 --> 00:31:10,160 and for folks going out there expecting swings. We'll be returning swings as soon as we have 272 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,960 a better course of action. 273 00:31:15,930 --> 00:31:18,400 That's all I had for tonight.

They were 445 00:43:14,810 --> 00:43:23,170 very instrumental in making these changes I like for them to kind of speak on them. 446 00:43:24,050 --> 00:43:30,030 I think that both mean Commissioner Blasco had very specific ideas of what we wanted 447 00:43:30,030 --> 00:43:36,290 and I think this park really encompasses what we both were searching for. I was very 448 00:43:36,290 --> 00:43:45,090 that's on having a park that of fully revised flooring and the developers were able to provide 449 00:43:45,090 --> 00:43:52,850 that as well as shade. So I think it really encompassed what we both were hoping for especially 450 00:43:52,850 --> 00:44:06,250 when they came back with revisions. We really feel like this encompassed the energy in aura of 451 00:44:06,250 --> 00:44:14,310 really impressed us, and I'm really excited to share with everybody, but how would you comment? 452 00:44:16,450 --> 00:44:25,410 I'm just going supporting what Commissioner Asmana is saying, I really like the way they 453 00:44:25,410 --> 00:44:34,250 came back with this project. I think it's going to fit this particular park and its locations so 454 00:44:34,250 --> 00:44:46,390 well, the shade is fantastic, which was a really big thing on our agenda and there's some fun little additions that I think the community is really going to enjoy about this park. 455 00:44:47,190 --> 00:44:49,670 And I'm just I hope you guys like it as much as we do. 456 00:44:53,780 --> 00:44:56,200 Well, thank you for your time and effort on it. 457 00:44:56,420 --> 00:44:59,540 Do we have any commissioner comments from either one of you? 458 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:11,880 I always have to put my two cents for it. I love it. It is surprisingly quite similar to the play 459 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:19,980 apparatus that Blake and I picked for Stonebrook. However, Stonebrook is on the other end of town. 460 00:45:20,700 --> 00:45:29,400 And the insides of the one at Stonebrook are quite different from the insides of this one. But I'm all for 461 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:38,660 And the illusion of danger, and this gets to that, and you've done a great job with the shade. 462 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,540 I love it. Thank you. 463 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:44,420 Just a quick question. 464 00:45:44,780 --> 00:45:48,060 So what is the playground communication board? 465 00:45:49,380 --> 00:45:52,840 Yeah, so that's an 80 feature for folks who are non-verbal. 466 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:59,260 So it's kind of like a communication station where they can point and express what feelings are expressing in that moment. 467 00:45:59,260 --> 00:46:06,820 We did not specifically ask for this piece, however, the developer provided it and it's my favorite aspect of the park. 468 00:46:07,940 --> 00:46:11,320 Thank you. I really like that. I think that's a really good addition. 469 00:46:14,070 --> 00:46:17,910 And then my question, I agree. I think it looks wonderful. I love the height. 470 00:46:18,490 --> 00:46:23,810 And I definitely love the fact that is the whole thing rubberized underneath the structure. 471 00:46:23,810 --> 00:46:30,050 with structures. And they're fully as the poor in place, fully covered. 472 00:46:30,310 --> 00:46:33,030 That's great. And then it would just be the regular side block. 473 00:46:33,570 --> 00:46:34,990 All great or any other side? 474 00:46:35,070 --> 00:46:35,470 I believe. 475 00:46:36,430 --> 00:46:36,510 All right. 476 00:46:38,590 --> 00:46:39,110 Well, yeah. 477 00:46:40,590 --> 00:46:41,730 No, it looks like brick. 478 00:46:43,450 --> 00:46:44,210 It's great. 479 00:46:44,310 --> 00:46:46,990 I really enjoy the colors and the theme. 480 00:46:47,390 --> 00:46:48,890 I think it's starting, so. 481 00:46:49,790 --> 00:46:50,370 Well done. 482 00:46:51,050 --> 00:46:51,250 Yeah. 483 00:46:51,470 --> 00:46:52,130 It's great. 484 00:46:54,370 --> 00:47:00,930 We don't have any more questions.

Maybe that you 499 00:47:40,830 --> 00:47:47,970 already have this on your radar, but recently, when visiting here in Park, I've noticed that the 500 00:47:47,970 --> 00:47:58,810 fencing around the park is extremely dilapidated. I believe it's a wood with rebar inside and a lot 501 00:47:58,810 --> 00:48:06,290 is rotting and cracked and there's missing many posts or beams along the way and also there's 502 00:48:06,730 --> 00:48:13,410 a broken dog fountain at her in park. So not sure if that is a need of an agenda item if so 503 00:48:13,410 --> 00:48:19,110 happy to request to add that on but I wanted to check with you guys and see if it was already on your radar. 504 00:48:21,290 --> 00:48:27,210 Yeah, thank you. That's one of our parks. It's actually a concrete split rail fencing. 505 00:48:27,210 --> 00:48:37,330 So that's where you see the rebar and staffs fully aware of not just hair and there's about five or six other parks that have the similar type of concrete split rail 506 00:48:37,330 --> 00:48:40,510 So staffs have been going around and I was a helicopter 507 00:48:40,510 --> 00:48:47,410 They just did replace about 24 of those slats at one of the parks. I believe it's pelican, but don't quote me on that 508 00:48:48,010 --> 00:48:53,850 So fully aware of it and certainly changing it will still be concrete, but not that product of concrete 509 00:48:53,850 --> 00:49:01,590 So it'll be a lighter, more the giving type concrete and hopefully get a better life span than like 510 00:49:01,590 --> 00:49:02,050 her and did. 511 00:49:02,130 --> 00:49:06,510 But yes, certainly aware of it, a blue goose that's another one that is on the radar. 512 00:49:07,150 --> 00:49:13,110 So yes, we're on that, but just like the redwood trees, you know, we've got so many of these 513 00:49:13,110 --> 00:49:13,650 in the city. 514 00:49:13,670 --> 00:49:18,430 It just takes time to get to them all, but we're aware of it and working through them. 515 00:49:18,790 --> 00:49:20,050 Thank you so much. 516 00:49:21,130 --> 00:49:29,270 chair. Yes. I would like to request an October meeting that we do have a discussion on street trees. 517 00:49:29,890 --> 00:49:46,050 Because I'm not getting satisfaction and people are taken them out. And in some cases just leaving a stump and it appears that what we were getting awards as the what tree city of 518 00:49:46,050 --> 00:49:54,570 No more than California, I don't remember what exactly awards we got, but I don't think individuals 519 00:49:54,570 --> 00:49:58,830 should be able to take that away from the community. 520 00:49:59,570 --> 00:50:06,870 So I would prefer that we have a agenda item if it's not appropriate, Erin, tell me. 521 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,620 No, absolutely appropriate, and October's probably a good time frame, because as I had mentioned 522 00:50:12,620 --> 00:50:16,100 before I just spoke with Harith earlier today, 523 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,420 some of the directors have been in discussion 524 00:50:18,420 --> 00:50:21,580 about this very topic, so we're going to be meeting 525 00:50:21,580 --> 00:50:25,840 more staff, so I certainly should have some good information 526 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,620 by October. Love it. 527 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:30,720 I've been related to residential street trees. 528 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,500 I don't want to be a pain in the you know what, 529 00:50:34,100 --> 00:50:37,000 but I just will it be good to review policy and procedure 530 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,820 and see what we're doing. 531 00:50:38,820 --> 00:50:44,660 Where we scanned is as standing behind our tree policy, so thank you. 532 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:53,600 I would just like to request in regards to the Oak Medal lighting to the speaker that was here this 533 00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:59,500 evening. Sounds like we are addressing the issues and he's grateful for that, so that's great. 534 00:51:00,580 --> 00:51:08,540 I guess my concern is maybe he said sunset was also good, but and I know that he also mentioned that 535 00:51:08,540 --> 00:51:16,600 October we're replacing that. So I guess my agenda item might be just looking at our lighting 536 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:28,960 situation what our standards are compared to like what is needed and possibly checking out 537 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:33,960 our parks that are lit to make sure they're meeting the standards or maybe just to report 538 00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,080 on how you handle it because I'm sure you are addressing those things. 539 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,780 But maybe I'm not very clear. 540 00:51:41,100 --> 00:51:42,320 But no, perfectly clear. 541 00:51:43,020 --> 00:51:43,880 Totally understand. 542 00:51:43,940 --> 00:51:46,680 Based on how, you know, we handle our lighting, 543 00:51:46,820 --> 00:51:50,340 what the standards are and how you guys go about maintaining it. 544 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,660 We can agenda for the September meeting just an update on the project 545 00:51:54,660 --> 00:51:59,480 that actually lanes been currently working on for the LED conversion 546 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,240 at both Oak, Meadow, and Garen. 547 00:52:01,240 --> 00:52:01,520 OK. 548 00:52:01,620 --> 00:52:05,780 The recreation division who works with these user groups and from a program 549 00:52:05,780 --> 00:52:11,900 standpoint, have been working with these user groups at both those locations because we have 550 00:52:11,900 --> 00:52:17,900 noticed and that's why again why we're trying to get them replaced. Unfortunately, the project 551 00:52:17,900 --> 00:52:24,260 is taking a lot longer than we had anticipated, but by September we can certainly formulate 552 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:36,620 What staff will be doing in the meantime? So, yes, perfectly a good question there. 553 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,380 Okay, great. Any other future agenda item? 554 00:52:43,220 --> 00:52:47,520 Excuse me, I said, Garen, I meant Balfour Guthrie. 555 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,580 Garen does not have lighting and will not be receiving light. 556 00:52:52,100 --> 00:52:54,520 Thank you. Thank you for that correction. 557 00:53:02,590 --> 00:53:03,270 Okay. 558 00:53:03,270 --> 00:53:05,970 at 7.45 p.m. 559 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,520 I still move. 560 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:13,180 That was a second. 561 00:53:16,700 --> 00:53:17,240 Ellen, favor. 562 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:18,580 Hi. 563 00:53:19,220 --> 00:53:20,180 Great.
