The revised sign now <br />includes the new mountain bike trail and a larger font for the general park rules and dog <br />rules. <br />• Temporary signs warning park users about mountain lions were deployed following the <br />spotting of a mountain lion nearby. <br />• A new staging area exit spike strip was installed to replace the failed original unit. A <br />speed bump was also installed. This will help prevent the use of the staging area when <br />the park is closed in the evenings and at night. <br /> <br />Amador Valley Community Park <br />New concrete barbeques were installed to replace the old rusted-out barbeques. The lifespan <br />of the new units should be about 20 years. <br /> <br />Bernal Community Park <br />• Staff installed rubberized surfacing around the palm trees in phase 2 near the <br />restrooms. This will reduce maintenance to constantly blow and sweep the gravel back <br />into the tree wells. <br />• Many of the sports field lights were replaced under warranty by the original installer. <br />• Wire theft vandalism was an issue during this reporting period. The wire was stolen <br />from the parking lot lights (mostly in phase 2) and from the field lights along the western <br />edge of the synthetic fields. The light poles and wire junction boxes have been modified <br />to help deter future theft. <br />• Two new area surface drains were installed to mitigate puddles along park pathways. <br />• Three new owl boxes made by an Eagle Scout candidate were installed to replace <br />three poor-condition boxes. <br /> <br />BMX Park <br />New bike racks were installed to provide a place to put bikes while taking a break from riding <br />the course. <br /> <br />Bonde Ranch Open Space/Independence Dr. Median <br />• Two diseased eucalyptus trees were removed from behind the homes in the Bonde <br />Ranch Open Space. Another diseased tree was removed from the median on <br />Independence Dr. <br />• A new owl box was installed on Arlene Pl. to attract an owl to help to control the varmint <br />population in the open space. <br />Page 41 of 48
