20 Tons of Turf Fertilizer for Parks Department
MEETING DATE: December 16, 1992
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council appruve the specifications
and authorize advertisement for bids for 20 tons
of Best "Turf Gold" slow-release turf fertilizer
for use by the Parks Department.
BACKGROUND INFORMA ION: Each year the Parks Department purchases
fertilizer for use on the City's 208 acres of
parks. Experience has shown that Best "Turf
Gold" yields a lower annual cost per acre due to
a longer nitrogen release time, requiring fewer applications per year,
than a water-soluble or agricultural blend fertilizer.
FUNDING: The estimated cost of this purchase is $10,000.
Funding has been included in the 1992/93 Parks
Department budget.
