Consider Request to Study Cost of City Parks and Trails Maintenance and Operation

Councilmembers Howell and Musgrove have requested council consideration of a detailed and itemized expenditure list from Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Mark Riverblood in collaboration with Finance Director Diana Lund, if needed, that specifies our costs for parks. This should include the actual cost of turf maintenance (including person hours, chemicals, equipment hours, acreage, etc), trails (including person hours, boardwalk upkeep, materials and equipment cost specific to the task), playground equipment throughout the park system (person hours and repair costs), dog parks (number of person hours spent cleaning these per week). We would like these very specific and detailed expenditures as itemized for the last 3 years.
