Inter -office <br />MEMO <br />to: Honorable Mayor and City Council �-N <br />from: Jim Ericson, Community Development Director <br />re: Pinewood Elementary Play System Replacement <br />date: May 2, 2005 <br />I thought I would let the Council know, in case anyone is interested, that the school district is <br />planning on replacing the Pinewood Elementary play system. <br />Constructed in 1985, the wooden system is becoming too expensive to maintain and repair, as some <br />of the wooden pieces have begun to rot, split and break. In addition, there is a concern that child <br />safety will be compromised with continued usage. Also mentioned as a reason to replace the system <br />is that there are accessibility issues that were not addressed in the original plan. <br />The new play system which would be constructed in the same area, would incorporate more tubular <br />metal and durable plastic components. In addition to the typical components, a rock climbing wall <br />would be included in the new system. Attached to this report is a components list that will likely be <br />included in the bid package, along with a proposed layout of the play area. <br />If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. <br />\\Trout\CommDev\UsersUIME\City Council StufflMemos\Pinewood Play System - May 2, 2005.doc <br />
