MAINTENANCE STANDA ' IS SURVEY REVISIONS After conducting the first two Maintenance Standards Surveys, it has become apparent that some changes need to be made to the standards. Some standards need to be added, altered, or omitted. These changes are needed to better show those standards, which are being met, and to include items that have been deemed important enough to require standards. Listed below are the recommended changes and the explanations for the changes. Divide larger parks into sections. This would help separate the multiple structures and facilities such as play units, picnic shelters, and athletic fields complexes found in some of the larger parks such as Southwood, Central and W. A. Tarrow. Separate multiple structure/facilities in each park. Many of the parks such as Thomas, Lions, and Southwood have multiple structures and facilities. Some of the standards are written where multiple items in the same park are grouped together. A good example is play units. Thomas Park has five play units; a slide, two swing sets, and two play structures. If any of the items share the same standards, either all meet or do not meet the standards. This does not truly reflect the standards that are being met. Separate multiple playgrounds in each park. Omit the "securing of trash recepticles" from the standards. Better distinguish pavilion/shelter trash resepticles from those in the rest of the park. Separate multiple pavilions and shelters in each park. Separate flower bed irrigation from athletic field irrigation. Add shade structures and foul ball netting to "Bleachers". Add shade structues to "Playgrounds". Add soccer goals, nets, and anchors to "Athletic Fields". Ensure the proper maintenance standards match the appropriate park. Change standards on "decks and benches" to show: "boards contain no cracks more than %inch across". Make sure that fencing is covered in the Gabbard Park standards. Separate multiple basketball courts where appropriate.
