Exhibit 1 ONGOING MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT All park sites require some type of routine and preventative maintenance to take care of City assets and landscaping. However, parks with higher levels of use, specialized facilities, reservable facilities and organized programs/events typically required a greater level of maintenance. Sites with substantial natural resources may need specialized care for natural resources in addition to the routine maintenance for developed park areas. This section notes the level of maintenance that developed park areas should receive (standard or enhanced). It also indicates where sites have extensive undeveloped or natural areas that require a different type and frequency of maintenance (natural resource stewardship). The table below notes these maintenance levels. • Standard: Provide a basic level of maintenance at parks with regular use. Provide routine and preventative maintenance, plus routine hazard monitoring and basic landscaping care and beautification. • Enhanced: Provide enhanced maintenance at sites that include specialized assets, are programmed or are heavily used. Ensure these sites receive priority during peak use times, as well as special attention to support programming and events. • Natural Resource Stewardship: Steward natural resources that require less frequent and, on occasions, specialized care. Environmental restoration may be needed. • Minor Enhancement: Provide small to medium level of improvements or upgrades to an existing park. Minor renovations may apply to improvements for approximately 15 percent of the site or to a few athletic/sport facilities, outdoor recreation facilities, trail/path, natural area, or park amenities at an existing park, with each individual facility renovation anticipated to cost less than $0.5 million. • Major Enhancement: Provide extensive level of improvements/upgrades to an existing park. Major renovations may include new, large-scale, signature park elements such as play areas, sports fields, extensive trails, considerable accessibility improvements, new picnic shelters, new restrooms, etc. Major renovations are anticipated to affect approximately 30% of the developed portion of the site or add costly features and facilities to the site. These may include multiple improvements projected at or above $1 million. • Major Facility Renovation: These notes are based on projects currently in the City's CIP that explain where sites may require major renovations. • Turf Conversion: At parks where planted turf occurs throughout most of the park, convert up to five percent of the site to native plantings or natural areas requiring less maintenance and water. • Landscape/Plantings: Repair and restore existing landscape and planting areas that have died off or declined. • Asset Management and Replacement: Set aside funds annually to offset the costs of replacing facilities at the end of their lifecycles. This is a small allowance to ensure the City has some funds City Council damaged park features. 14 — 149 5/17/2022 TABLE C-1: SUMMARY OF MAINTENANCE LEVELS — Basic landscape maintenance for safety and aesthetics — Graffiti and — Monitoring and inspection vandalism Standard — Litter pickup removal or repair — Routine and preventative care for — Amenity and site furnishings and facilities facility repair — Restroom cleaning — All tasks in "standard" level, but on a more frequent basis — Specialized facility maintenance — Repair of major (e.g., splashpad) facilities — Sports field turf irrigation and — Program/event/ Enhanced management reservable facility — Janitorial care of buildings (e.g., preparation, community center) setup, or cleanup — Care of floral and botanical plantings, weeding, pruning where applicable ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE — Routine monitoring and Natural inspection Resource — Tree / brush pruning Stewardship — Mowing (where appropriate) — Trail clearing Parks with regular use (e.g., neighborhood parks).
