M E M O R A N D U M <br />To: Common Council <br />From: James R. Seitz, <br />Park Superintendent <br />Subject: Additional Appropriations Ordinance <br />Date: March 17, 1976 <br />The Department of Parks is requesting the Common Council to approve the enclosed <br />additional appropriation ordinance in the amount of $20,000.00. <br />Because of severe budget cuts that had to be made in the 1976 park budget and un- <br />expected problems, the Park Department is in a situation where it now needs funds <br />for the efficient operation of the Department. <br />Unfortunately, the eighteen year old boiler, at Erskine Clubhouse, has sprung a <br />leak and according to a professional heating contractor, the boiler is beyond <br />repair. It is my understanding that the type of boiler at the clubhouse is no <br />longer manufactured, thus, it is impossible to obtain repair parts. Estimated <br />cost for a new boiler $5,500.00. <br />The Park Department is requesting $6,000.00 for a new filtration system at Kennedy <br />Pool. The pool, about twenty years old, has its original filtration system and <br />the system has reached the condition where if a breakdown occurs the possibility of <br />repairing the system would be very difficult. The Park Department did replace the <br />filtration system in the Potawatomi Pool two years ago and this system has worked <br />very satisfactorily. The Kennedy and Potawatomi Pools were built at the same time. <br />Also, the Department is requesting $8,500.00 for equipment for the operation of <br />Erskine Golf Course. The course needs two pieces of aeration equipment; one for <br />the greens and one for large areas such as fairways. Aeration (punch holes in the <br />turf to relieve compaction and to allow water, air and fertilizer to get to the <br />roots of the turf) is a very important turf function and is especially important <br />on areas that have heavy traffic such as golf greens. The aeration process should <br />be performed eight or nine times a year. Erskine Golf Course has a seven year old <br />greens aerator which has seen its best use. The course does not have a fairway <br />aerator and has had to borrow a machine or not aerate the fairways which has been <br />the case. The other piece of equipment is a Cushman type truckster which is used <br />to haul spray equipment, pull mowers and to carry personnel about the course to <br />perform various duties. <br />Estimated cost of golf course equipment: <br />Cushman truckster or equal $3,000.00 <br />Greens aerator 3,400.00 <br />Fairway aerator 2,100.00 <br />
