MEMO <br />To: Park and Rec Commissioners <br />From: Director of Public Works, Michael Ulrich <br />Subject: September Meeting <br />Date: September 21, 2000 <br />I will not be in attendance at the meeting scheduled for the 27`x' of September. I only have one <br />item of which I would like you to consider. Staff has received one bid for the playground <br />equipment at Woodcrest Park. It is from the same manufacturer of the Lambert equipment. This <br />equipment and related materials have withstood the harsh elements of our seasons and performed <br />very well with the users. Initially staff had perceived that a smaller structure would be more <br />practical at Woodcrest, based on the available space. Upon receipt of the one layout, it appears <br />that a larger structure, which will accommodate a larger age group, will fit in the area. This <br />structure is designed for ages 2 to 12. In providing a larger structure the initial cost estimate will <br />be exceeded. Approximately $13,000 to $18,000 was requested for this expenditure. <br />Staff recommends purchasing the larger, more versatile structure, which will satisfy a greater age <br />group for a longer period of time. This will require the City Council to authorize additional <br />funding from the Park Dedication Fund. These structures are anticipated to last 10 to 12 years. <br />Staff requests the Park and Rec Comm. discuss this and relay their decision back to staff so that <br />the appropriate action may be taken at the next regular Council meeting. <br />Other activities of the Parks Department this month: <br />Aeration and over seeding of the athletic fields <br />Mowing <br />Spraying Goose Repellent <br />Community Center maintenance <br />Repair as needed <br />Preparing some equipment for storage, others for winter use <br />* Steve Dazenski, Park Foreman will be attending the meeting in my absence. <br />
