I have spare <br /> paint from the vendor that I'll send along to Amenities. <br /> 2) The accessible sand dig has been filled and sculpted and Tom or Vince will turn the water back on again this afternoon. <br /> It seems that because so much sand was removed from this area that we have an excess at the end of the River that <br /> could potentially be relocated to the pump and water wheel area, but I'll leave that up to the Amenities Maintenance staff <br /> and your ability to deal with this from a time standpoint. Clearly, it's really fun for the kids, so I don't want to micro <br /> manage it -but it's a consideration. <br /> 3) The stage coach work is still in process and I'll keep everyone updated as it moves along. , <br /> 4) The new mow strip has been poured in the lawn east of the sand area and will be overseeded soon. <br /> 5) All of the landscape beds were weeded, re-mulched and filled in with spare plants where we had gaps. This component <br /> of the project should be ready for hand off within the week. Adam will be in touch. <br /> 6)' The lawns are almost up and ready for re-inspection by turf and grounds folks. Adam should be in touch. <br /> 7) The pump and water wheel have been working intermittently, but we've managed to get many of the manuals translated <br /> from German to English, so hopefully this will help. Please keep me apprised of other troubleshooting issues if we're <br /> having them and I'll do my best to keep dogging the vendor for answers. <br /> 8) A vertically mounted activation bollard for the Little Willamette has been ordered from the water play vendor and should <br /> arrive in 6-8 weeks. <br /> 9) Safety issues (relatively minor ones) on the Skinner Butte Climber have been brought to the attention of the local LSI rep <br /> by Jeff Hanson and fixes are in the works. <br /> 10) Last, but not least, O & M manuals are in process and should be delivered to your offices within the month. I've ordered a <br /> couple of maintenance manuals for the Skinner Butte Climber, so those should be here soon as well. <br /> Thanks again to everyone for their ongoing commitment to keeping this place going through the bumps of opening it up to the <br /> public. Everyone keeps coming back to play, so we must be doing a good job. <br /> I'll be out tomorrow and the 18th-28th so hopefully most of the issues will be resolved prior to my vacation. <br /> a great weekend O <br /> Emily <br /> 9/6/2006 <br /> <br />
