MEMO <br /> <br /> <br />To: Park and Rec Commissioners <br />From: Director of Public Works, Michael Ulrich <br />Subject: September Meeting <br />Date: September 21, 2000 <br /> <br />I will not be in attendance at the meeting scheduled for the 27th of September. I only have one 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 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 practical at Woodcrest, based on the available space. Upon receipt of the one layout, <br /> it appears that a larger structure, which will accommodate a larger age group, will fit in the area. This structure is designed for ages 2 to 12. In providing a larger structure the <br /> initial cost estimate will be exceeded. Approximately $13,000 to $18,000 was requested for this expenditure. <br /> <br />Staff recommends purchasing the larger, more versatile structure, which will satisfy a greater age group for a longer period of time. This will require the City Council to authorize <br /> additional funding from the Park Dedication Fund. These structures are anticipated to last 10 to 12 years. Staff requests the Park and Rec Comm. discuss this and relay their decision <br /> back to staff so that the appropriate action may be taken at the next regular Council meeting. <br /> <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 /> <br />* Steve Dazenski, Park Foreman will be attending the meeting in my absence.
