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