<br />Maintenance
<br />The City of Paris currently has one maintenance employee for approximately every 25 developed park
<br />acres. In addition, this same staff maintains all the rights-of-way, medians, ditches and trees on public
<br />land inside the city limits. The staffing levels have slowly been falling behind and need to increase in
<br />order to keep the maintenance of parks and facilities at a high level. The following two bullets are
<br />necessary in order for the city to provide well maintained areas at an efficient cost:
<br />• Prepare and adopt a statistically -based maintenance study that will increase the maintenance staff
<br />and budget as the park system continues to grow. Staff levels, urI Iwiw park's, dM^:!:iorw [l ,a c bccr>
