The landscape contractor replaced the existing shrubs that had overgrown and were causing leaf debris on to the boats and into the harbor. The replacement plantings are colorful, drought- tolerant, and are low - maintenance. • The Parks Division has started the renovation of athletic fields throughout the • City for the summer downtime period. Prior to this downtime, Parks and the Recreation and Senior Services Department met with many of the user groups at on -site meetings to determine the needs for each field. Existing contracted field services, such as aeration, top - dress, and fertilization, were combined with upgrades, such as installation of sod and/or seed and leveling of low and uneven field areas with an athletic soil mix. In order for the new grass to grow in properly, field downtime periods were coordinated through Recreation and selected user groups. Additionally, extra "Per Player" funding from these various user groups have ensured that these valuable field renovations continue and will provide Newport Beach some of the finest fields in all of Orange County. Fields with sod work or over - seeding include: Lincoln Athletic Center, Grant Howald Park, San Miguel Park, Arroyo Park, Bonita Creek football field, Irvine Terrace Park, Coastal Peak Park, and Bonita Canyon Sports Park. Trees Division Activities Month of: Trees Trimmed Trees Removed Trees Planted May 73 3 2 June 234 43 36 • As part of the City's overall grid and annual trimming schedule, the City's tree • services contractor pruned trees within the Spyglass Hills, Buffalo Hills, Balboa Peninsula and Lido Isle areas. • The attached Tree Activity Report summarizes requests and field activities performed during the past months. Beach Maintenance Activities • Over the Memorial Day weekend, MOD staff members performed trash collection, litter picking, beach cleaning, fire ring maintenance, and street sweeping duties. Over 17 tons of trash were emptied from the beach area trash containers, three tons of trash and other debris were picked up by litter pickers and mechanical beach cleaning equipment, and six cubic yards of trash were collected by street sweeping equipment and hand sweepers. During the summer months, these weekend activities are performed daily to ensure that the beaches and surrounding high- profile commercial districts are cleaned, detailed, and presentable for the tens of thousands of daily visitors and area residents. • July 4`" Preparation and July 5`h Clean Up Activities: In preparation for the hundreds of thousands of visitors who celebrate Independence Day in our City, Municipal Operations Department crewmembers emptied trash containers, litter picked, shoveled fire rings, swept streets, groomed beaches, and work closely • with contractors. During the morning of July 4u, the City's contractor (Traffic Management) arrived on time to set up all the fencing and lights for the West Newport area. They also delivered extra cones and delineators for potential lane closures. The Police Department did not feel there was a need for lane closures along Balboa Boulevard during the day and into the evening. The contractor started picking up his belongings around 8:00 PM and left the Newport Peninsula at 10:00 PM with no problems to report. July 5t` is the biggest clean-up day of the year for the General Services Department. Staff started their work shift at 5:00 AM to remove signs, pick up delineators, barricades, porta- potties, and assist with beach cleanup. It required the orchestrated efforts of 36 crewmembers and 212 regular man hours to clean up the beaches, commercial districts, and the West Newport party zone. In addition to the numerous trash bags filled by litter pickers and community volunteers, mechanical street sweepers removed 12 cubic yards of debris from the West Newport area streets alone. That is a small decrease in the amount of trash that was left behind by party goers; previous year was 13 cubic yards. Six 2 -man crews detailed the Newport and Balboa commercial districts along with West Newport. Corona Del Mar State Beach proved once again to be a popular destination for • visitors. In four hours, ten Field Maintenance crewmembers collected and removed over 7.5 tons of trash and other debris that had been left on the ground and in the beach area trash containers at the park. ABM Janitorial Services and Ed's Building Maintenance staff members did an outstanding job of cleaning the beach area restrooms so that the visitors could enjoy the holiday. In addition, Rainbow Disposal serviced all beach containers and picked up over 14 tons of trash, which proved to be successful in controlling the litter on the beach. Even with overcast skies and light drizzle, General Services Division still kept quite busy ensuring that residents and visitors had a clean and safe environment to celebrate the day.
