MINUTES <br />PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION <br />JANUARY 31, 2013 <br />NADEAU The Parks Consultant reported that Flanagan Sales has submitted <br />PARK two options for the upgrade of the Nadeau Park playground equipment. <br />UPGRADE The Consultant noted that the equipment is manufactured by Little Tykes, <br />and that Flanagan Sales is a very reputable company. <br />The first option was a traditional play structure with slides and climbing <br />walls. The second option had a little more modern appearance. The <br />Consultant indicated the surfacing proposed to be used is wood fiber and <br />pointed out that the brown - colored area under the equipment is the safety <br />zone. It was pointed out that these two proposals fill more of the space <br />within the curbed area. <br />Vang commented that these options appear bigger than the first proposal. <br />Slain felt there were more activities and stations in the proposal from <br />Flanagan Sales, and that there were activities that would appeal to a mix <br />of age groups. Slain and Sullivan indicated that they liked Option 2 of <br />this proposal set. <br />The Commission discussed cost, with the Consultant indicating that the <br />cost of Flagship Option 3 is estimated at $49,500 and Flanagan Option 2 <br />at $54,000. The Commission discussed and compared these two options <br />at length and the consensus was to present both at a neighborhood <br />meeting. It was felt that Flanagan Option 2 should be modified to include <br />an infant swing, along with the two swings shown. The Commission also <br />felt that Flanagan Option 2 should be modified to show similar colors to <br />Flagship Option 3. Additionally, there should be options presented at the <br />neighborhood meeting for changing out some of the elements of both <br />proposals. <br />The Commission consensus was that the neighborhood meeting will be <br />held on Thursday, March 7th, at 7:30 p.m. to present the Nadeau Park <br />playground redevelopment options. <br />2013 GOAL The Commission reviewed the results of the 2013 Goal Setting session. <br />SETTING The Clerk reported that the next step would be that proposed action plans <br />SESSION for each of the goals would be presented to the City Council modification <br />and adoption. In addition to the specific 2013 goals, work would be done <br />to try to accomplish all of the goals that were presented at the Goal Setting <br />session. <br />5 <br />
