Item 9 Operation & Maintenance Costs <br />The City has an annual operating budget of $60,000 for parks. This includes $23,000 for public <br />works personnel labor, and $25,000 for repairs and maintenance of buildings and grounds. There <br />are also other line items for employee insurance and benefits, utilities, equipment rentals, etc.. <br />With the exception of the contracted park mowing, the public works complete most of the park <br />operations and maintenance work, so the repairs and maintenance budget is mainly used for the <br />purchase of materials and supplies. The City budgets conservatively, and in the past the entire <br />parks operating budget has not been utilized. There is adequate annual funding for the operation <br />and maintenance of the proposed improvements to Navarre Park. This is an existing park, so we <br />are cunently incurring costs for, such items as mowing and trash collection. This project should <br />not have any impact on this costs. <br />Costs for equipment maintenance will increase somewhat because there will be more equipment <br />in the park. There will also be additional annual operating costs for electricity for the park <br />lighting. <br />Annual Costs <br />Equipment inspection and maintenance <br />Maintenance of wood chip play equipment surfacing <br />Contracted park mowing (Total cost for all parks $13,900) <br />Lighting electricity and maintenance <br />Parking and cross walk striping <br />$2,000 <br />$500 <br />$500 <br />$1,000 <br />$200 <br />Three to Five Year Costs <br />Bituminous path crack sealing <br />Entrance sign maintenance <br />Planting beds maintenance <br />$1,000 <br />$500 <br />$1,000 <br />Ten Year Costs <br />Split rail fence maintenance $2,000 <br />Twenty Year Costs <br />Overlay Bituminous Paths $5,000
