Park Maintenance Job (lours Per Month - As we have done in the past by
breaking down the lob hours or each maintenance item we find that our
Parks Department performed a number of lobs for other departments as well
as for our own, Many of these projects were magnified and v;r.l t rg
od in
19681969 because of the growth of the Department and its responsibilities.
If wo are to best explain the actual maintenance job hours, we <tould have to
separate our park maintenance and construction lob hours into 10 categories,
Each of them will be listed as follows: 1) City Parks and Traffic Islands,
2) Cemeteries, 3) Community building, k) Swimming Pool, 5) Ball Fields,
6) City Hall, 7) Roadaides, 8) Library, 9) Hickory Creak, and 10) Greenhouse
and Lath, House,
I 1. City Parka and Traffic Islands - The City Parka Maintenance, which
r !I t~
covers eight parks, totaled 7,309 1/2 hours. Table 1 on the following page
j t $ivea a breakdown of the hours spent on each park, and for what the hours were
spent, Also Included in Table 1 are the traffic islands which this year
fl again total ten, The hours spent in inaintaining the traffic islands totaled
i i
11028 1/2, You will note that a great number of houre were spent in developing
new flower beds on the parks, which you will find to be true in the following
areas, And, because of a rolativel dry Year, a great amount of hours sere
spent in watering the parka and traffic islands

2. Cemeteries - With most of tile beautification done on the cemeteries
last year, we find that the largest portion of hours this year were spent in
mowing, edgin3, and installing water systems in the cemeteries to maintain
1
the;r bevAty. Few problems were confronted this year in cemetery work as
compared with last year, Table 2 gives a breakdown of hours spent on the
cemeteries,

9. Hickory Creek - The trend at Hickory Creek is one of efficiency, For
in the past three years the time spent at the park has been dropped, This year
only 849 hours were spent keeping the park AS compared to 1,049 last year and
2,100 the year previous, As said, we feel this is due to more efficient work
and work schedules. Most all of the work done at Hickory Creek was of a routine
type this year. Table 9 gives a more complete breakdown of maintenance hours.

II, SUMARY OF TOTAL HOUR5 OF MAINTENANCE. AND CONS'T'RUCTION
This section and Table 12 gives a surrinavy of the report of preceding
I
pages concerning maintenance and construction work, of the Parka Department.
r~
By again dieing comparative figures from last year's report, one can get a
r- good idea of where the department has fallen down and also improved.
The total man hours for all mowing of all areas this year is 9,162 I
R^ while last year's total was 10,183. As one can bee we mowed over a 1,000
` less hours this year but atill covered the same amount of, arses and miles,
The difference is in tho amount of hours spent in the mowing of Hickory
Creek Park in in the fact that the mowing there was done on a contract basks
Compared to last year our flower bad maintenance and construction was down
by 6,000 hours from 3,489 to 2,866 hours, This was due to the fact that most
permanent beds were developed in previous years. Another big item this year
was plant production, Last year we spent only about 21300 hours, while this
year we spent 31600 hours in plant production, This work includes the whole
cycle of seeding, propagating, mowing and planting. Sprinkler repair this
I
t rl year dropped -50 percent from 589 `hours last year to 257 hours this year,
Perhaps we have conquered most of our sprinkler system problems,
y Work inside the Community Building is another item we are glad to see
J
reduced this year. With the hiring of an adequate building staff, work inside
the building was out from 2,480 hours to 265 hours, Quite an improvement, we think,
Again this year we spent a great deal of time falling graves, but. about the
same amorint of hours as last year (417 hours)

This year we did not construct, any ic.rojmit benched for our parks, but we
did construction on our greenhouse rod JaL3;house. A potting shed was added
as wall as continued coastrucstclon on tlie, Lo.hhouso. Most of our shop time wag
taken up in makLng new park signs, pouri.nt concrete poats, and pouring concrete
stepping stones, which totaled 924 hours.
One of the larger items we had Jnet year which has now dropped off quite
a lot, was the amount of time taken for sick leaves, vacation leaves, and shop
E training, The total of all these combined was about 21000 hours last year, and
"t this year it was down to 1,100 it cut of almost one-half,
i ,
i Our grand total for working man hou n In our park maintenance program
4 last year was 33,770. This year we have increased our total man hours by
r 1,000 to a total of 34,773. The breakdown of the total hours is shown in
Table 12,
In sum>Aaryr there is no doubt about this being a year of hard work and
t great progress, Ile have made grant stvidos in the beautification of our Civic
F I '
Buildings as well as our parka. But t:lhere is still much work to be done, and
j we are continuing to strive for a more beautiful Denton

MNUAL ACTIVITY REPORT
J
Swzmmi^ nPOOl As indicated in 'Cable 13, the number of people who
swam during the 1969 summer season totaled about 30,3550 which in an increase
of about 20000 over last year
Again this year, the total increase can be found in the number of chil-
dren who swam. Last year's figure for children was 18,285, whereas this
year it was 20,357. We had a total of 7,573 students and 2,425 adults, Last
year the students totaled 7969 And adults 2,492, oo that was a slight
decrease in those two categories,
This table includes only paid attendance. This does not count people
Rf~
who came to the pool in Learn to Swim classes, playground groups and mencally
~ I
retarded groups, We figured that the total number of free swimmers came to
f about 41000 over the summers therefore, we can safely say that out total num•
r
r( bar of swimmers was well over 34,000 people, This 34,000 represents the
total figure that we will project when we plan our operations for the
upcom- ing year
fm The greatest amount of revenue taken In during the season was in June
which totaled $3,277. Table 14 shows the revenue per month broken down from
w May through September, The total revenue of $6,473 ig not the.most we have
ever had in the history of the pool, however, this figure does not include
~ r+
the Learn to Swim tickets as did last year's figure, The $500 drop In
revenue can be found in the difference in concession revenuej last year's
revenue was $1,320 while this year's revenue was only -$529,

rv 1, Recreation ProArnm Supervisor's Roport - Again this year we had a
year round program .tu the Community Building. This year shows a continuing
Increase in both recreational and administrative hours because of an ever
increasing recreation program, Last year we had about 4,600 hours in admin-
istrative work, while this year we had about 5,440 hours, Our recreation
specialists worked a total of over 6,000 iiour.s this year, while last year
j
hours devoted to this part of recreation totaled 4,500,
J Our umpires and referees used more hours because Pen Wee Basketball and
Pea Wee Football were increased this year, The number of hours incroasr;d
1 i this year by 300 to 1,800
1 i
This year the number of recreation specialists was greater because of
an increased recreation program, The total number of hours spent by all of
j
these people wat 19,500 in recreation alone,
f Our total payroll for recreation people alone was about $30,500, Last
year's total payroll was $28,500. We feel that this is not ton much of an
increase compared to the expansion of the program, We Acquired just enough
people to take care of our program adequately, As alwaya, our heaviest months
S
E were the summer months, with the peak in July, Table 15 gives the breakdown

the first time from the revenue recolpts of this park, Wa had hold back quite
a bit over the past two years trying to build up the account to supply uu with
these two badly needed Items and oven then, it taxed our budget badly,
