MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL <br /> • <br /> FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> DATE: JULY 10, 1990 <br /> SUBJECT: REQUEST TO PURCHASE TRASH RECEPTACLES <br /> FOR SILVER VIEW PARK <br /> As mentioned in the last memo concerning Silver View Park, staff believes there is an <br /> immediate need for the installation of trash receptacles at Silver View Park. The <br /> Silver View Park proposal recommends the purchase of twelve (12) trash receptacles. <br /> The model desired is the same brand which has been installed in the other parks. <br /> These receptacles are permanently mounted in a concrete slab, are made of durable <br /> plastisol-coated metal mesh which is decorative, functional and requires minimal <br /> maintenance. Each receptacle would have a hood which would help alleviate flying <br /> litter and insects. These receptacles are $218.00 each, with a total of $2,616.00 for <br /> all twelve. A brown color is recommended to blend in with the natural setting. <br /> The second recommendation of the proposal is a Hid-a-Bag or decorative dumpster- <br /> type facility. This is needed near the picnic shelter to accommodate the trash <br /> generated by picnics. This trash bin would be locked with the same key as the picnic <br /> shelter and therefore only picnic shelter users would have access to its use. This <br /> would eliminate the use by persons wishing to dump their personal household trash. <br /> This unit is $650.00 plus $75.00 freight for a total of $725.00. It is made of <br /> galvanized steel and painted with durable urethane, colored to blend in with the <br /> environment. Aesthetically designed, this container comes with permanent mounting <br /> provisions. <br /> Staff requests that discussion be initiated on Monday during the on-site visit to the <br /> park to establish a general concensus on location of the receptacles. <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS: Approval to purchase twelve (12) litter receptacles Model <br /> WVT32I from Wabash Valley and one Hid-a-Bag II from MacQueen Equipment, Inc. for <br /> a total of $3,341.00 to be funded with undesignated monies. <br /> MS/SL <br />
