However, reshingling will be <br />required every 15 - 25 years. For the two shelters the commitment is .008 FTE's <br /> <br />The irrigation system requires more of an investment. The annual operating cost for an <br />irrigation system as proposed is approximately $1,530 per acre. This includes water, <br />electricity, repairs and maintenance such as winterization. This project should be <br />considered to cost about $1,500 to $2,000 per year to operate. <br /> <br />The other elements of this project are fairly insignificant, but altogether may represent <br />an hour or two of annual maintenance needs, specific to the named improvements. <br /> <br />Observation Pier <br /> <br />This $9,000 project is a recommended 2004 parks CI~ project at the southeast edge of wetland <br />114P, and is proposed to be funded from the Park Trust Fund. The observation pier would <br />provide a location to step off the trail and watch waterfowl and other wetland fauna. The site <br />will be within the sight of the proposed shelter, path users and nearby homes. The design would <br />be a section 8-foot wide, perpendicular with the shore, then 'T-lng' with enough space for <br />benches. This deck area maybe approximately 16' foot by 12' foot. <br /> <br />Staff is asking for approval to obtain quotes and proceed with a late 2004 installation. An <br />alternative would be to prepare plans and obtain quotes and bring the design and quotes for <br />Finance Committee or Council approval. <br /> <br />The Park and Recreation Commission will be consulted either way before proceeding with the <br />project. <br /> <br />Annual/zed Operational expenses: Boardwalks can require periodic repairs in vandal <br />prone areas. However this site is not projected to be particularly problematic. The <br /> <br /> <br />
