Parks staff prides itself on its good working relationship with the City's various sport user groups. Recently, at Bonita Creek Park's football field, staff installed a dock box filled with an amendment and grass seed mix, similar to what is supplied at golf courses. The dock box is available for use by the various sport user groups to repair divots and wear areas during the course of their seasons. The City will be gauging the success of this pilot program and hopes other sport user groups will be inspired to provide dock boxes throughout the City's athletic fields. Trees Division Activities During the month of September, 1,070 trees were trimmed, crews responded to 6 emergency tree calls, 4 trees removed. During the month of October, 875 trees were trimmed, crews responded to 5 emergency tree calls, 1 tree removed and 1 tree planted. The City's tree services contractor, pruned trees within the Corona Del Mar, Newport Coast and Balboa Peninsula areas, as part of the City's overall grid trimming schedule. Additionally, the annual pruning of selected Eucalyptus, Coral and Palm trees are currently taking place throughout the City. The attached Tree Activity Report summarizes requests and field activities performed during the past months. Beach Maintenance Activities On Wednesday, October 20th, Municipal Operations staff and Senior Parking Control Officer Heidi Moss met with representatives of Athens Services to discuss the third of five phases of Athens' assumption of street sweeping services. Athens commenced Phase III on November 1. Upon assumption of Phase III, Athens will be sweeping 65% of City streets. It is anticipated that Phase IV will commence on January 3, and the final phase on February 28 of next year, only nine months from the beginning of transition. Athens has done a very good job in both the quality of the sweeping and the administrative support in scheduling and communicating with City staff. Phase II included posted streets and Athens staff is working well with the Police Department's Parking Control Officers. 2. On Tuesday, October 19`x', the City received 2" of rainfall (measured at the Corporation Yard) along with a beautiful lightning and thunder show. This rain event brings the season total to nearly 3 ". Since the highest tides of the day occur during the morning hours this time of year, the low -lying areas of Newport Peninsula and Balboa Island did not experience major street flooding. Staff monitored storm conditions and placed barricades as needed. See attached Municipal Operations Department, Activities Report for September and October 2010. S,nbikitted by: 9an P.
