<br />I believe that extra day and extra 7 hours per week wiii go a iong way towards helping us <br />maintain more healthy turf at our parks. <br /> <br />Lynn H. Cornell - Arapahoe Park and Recreation District District Manager <br /> <br />We are watching very closely and intently. No measures have been taken as of today, <br />but are being discussed. <br /> <br />Don Shedd - Town of Windsor <br /> <br />To my knowledge, the Town of Telluride does not have a staff person <br />dedicated to drought issues. We do approve emergency drought measures <br />during drought years through a Town Council process. I am not aware of <br />any current or upcoming impacts to are area as a result of drought. <br /> <br />Rich Hamilton, Recreation Supervisor - Town of Telluride <br /> <br />It's pretty hard to renovate 2002s losses with conditions trending in an even <br />worse pattern. I'm currently trying to grow in/ recover 8 acres of turf for <br />two separate athletic fields and several trees and shrubs. <br /> <br />Brian Beyer Park Supervisor for Prospect Recreation and Park District. <br /> <br />The Town of Silverthorne has not made any watering restriction decisions yet as we <br />look towards this summer at any possible drought situation. Last summer we had <br />voluntary restrictions limiting hours and days of the week for watering, which the Town <br />followed carefully for all our parks and green spaces. At this time I would expect that <br />would be the worse case scenario for us this year too. <br /> <br />Bill Linfield - Public Works Director - Town of Silverthorne <br /> <br />In Brighton, the "water restriction" issue will be discussed at City Council level in late <br />Mayor early June. At that time the Council will decide whether it will change its <br />present requirements or keep them the same. Presently the City requires sod-planting <br />permits to be issued. Sod will only be allowed to be planted between April 15th to May <br />31st and then in the fall. The City does not allow watering between the hours of lOam <br />to 6pm daily. Last year residents and parks could only water every third day. One <br />exception was the parks watered by irrigation ditch water, and these parks had to meet <br />the ditch company watering requirements (usually 4 days of water on and 3 days of <br />water off). It looks like Council may approve watering every other day this year as long <br />as watering does not occur between lOam to 6pm. The issue of synthetic turf on fields <br />has previously been discussed within the City, and the cost is prohibiting further <br /> <br />4 <br />
