FT Ward Maintenance Yard Concern's :

Addressing the fenced area between the homes (weeds and maintenance issues). The fence was raised so we could maintain between the owners fence line and the parks. Completed

Removing the bricks and planting material along the fence line. This was the bricks, logs and the bream of soil. Completed

Locking the gate when the crews are not at work and placing no trespassing signs at the entrance to the yard. This has been Completed

Addressing the stormwater issues by grading the City site so water flows away from the homes. After the grading was completed we also had an inspection during the last 1" rain event and the water flowed away from the homes and into the park. Completed

Cleaning and maintaining the arborist area in the park. This has been cleaned and has continued maintenance by the park crew. Completed

Addressing the screening issues (still working on this issue should be completed by next week) This issue is still being worked on and we hope to have a solution by next week. Ongoing

Cleaning the understory in fenced area behind homes. This work was done and the poison ivy has been removed. Completed

Removing two dead oaks and one cypress tree at the residents request. This work has been completed by the tree crew. Completed

Placing additional rat boxes at the site. We have contacted the pest control and have placed additional rat boxes at the site. Completed

Removing the storage pallets The storage pallets have been removed and the new ones will be stacked and removed as the contractor is able to take them off site. Completed

Stacking the mulch bags as they are delivered. The crews have and will continue to stack the bag mulch as it arrives. Completed.

Close the maintenance yard to the public. We have installed locks and lock the facility every night. Completed

Look at Commonwealth Laws. We have met with the State DEQ and reviewed the City CODE and are in compliance with the State and local laws. Complete

Over use of the park. This picnic season we have gone to a picnic reservation system only and we will regulate the amount of cars in the park and control the number of people at each picnic area. This should reduce the trash and noise and overuse of the park. Ongoing
