The Public Works Department Parks Division has implemented an inventory and tracking method through our Work Management (or GBA) system. This allows us to visibly inspect the field and assign a condition to monitor it's improvement or deterioration. These reports can be used to compare and track fields on an ongoing basis. This report will be provided quarterly.
Each field that is identified in the allocation process, is assigned a condition, in order to set up a base line for communicating this process and it's potential affect to the number of fields available. This report will be available to the Recreation Department before each allocation process. This will allow the Recreation Department the freedom to utilize the assigned fields to their discretion. The individual field conditions will be categorized based on the Field Condition Definitions set forth.
