City Hall Maintenance
Tickler 10/2/90
As mentioned in the memo to Mr. Ratliff on September 18, 1990,
staff is continuing its endeavor to insure the appearance and
maintenance of City Hall. Since that time, dead plant material has
been removed from the front of the building with new shrubs being
planted in their place. Flowers should be in place in the planter
boxes within the next 2-3 weeks. This will allow for the fall
weather pattern to set in. Watering is taking place at least one
time per week.
Because this is an on-going operational matter, I would request
that a tickler not be placed for this issue. Should an update
regarding the maintenance and care of City Hall take place, I will
certainly provide one.

RE: City Hall Maintenance
This memorandum is in response to your request to examine what
responsibilities the Public Works Department currently has in
regard to the maintenance of the City Hall.
At the present time, the Parks Division is responsible for outdoor
maintenance that is performed. This maintenance includes the
removal of trash, the mowing and watering of grass on the property,
the removal of weeds and watering of plant materials and trees.
The Parks Division also edges, trims and fertilizes grass, plant,
and tree materials found at City Hall. The application of grassy
weed killers such as MSMA is also applied, to appropriate areas
around City Hall.
The Parks Division performs these before mentioned tasks on a
regular basis. Items such as litter removal and the inspection for
debris at City Hall occurs each day. The mowing, watering and
trimming of the City Hall area is performed on.the average of once
a week. This will vary according to weather conditions and need.
Maintenance tasks such as fertilization, removal of weeds, MSMA
application, pruning of plant or trees and removal and subsequent
planting of these materials will take place on a periodic basis as
needed. The ultimate solution in providing the most efficient care
and maintenance to the area around City Hall would be the
installation of an irrigation system. This would provide for a
regulated measure 9f water which would help insure the
establishment and growth of plant materials.
Until such time as this issue can be addressed, the Parks Division
will continue to maximize its efforts to insure the appearance and
maintenance of City Hall.
Should you have any additional questions regarding this matter,
please contact me.
