MEMO TO: [lnunds View City Council <br />F ROM Bruce K. Anderrnn, Director <br />Varks, Recreation and Forestry <br />DATE: July 2, 1986 <br />RE: Greenfield Park Playground Equipment <br />As you are aware, the City rompletedi construction of Phase I of <br />Greenfield Park during the summer of 1985. During construction, <br />process, we removed the playground equipment and have since con- <br />structed a wood perimeter harrier for the equipment to be relocat- <br />ed in. The e.puipment was stored in the City reservoir for the <br />past year and we have now relocated it back to Greenfield Park. <br />After reviewing the condition of the equipment, it is staff's <br />recommendation that we do not reinstall the equipment due to its <br />poor quality. the equipment is 11 years nld and the slide has <br />been re-fiberglassed on three separate occasions, and currently <br />there art, holes through all four sections. in addition to the <br />slide being in poor condition, the whirl and swing sets were <br />tseverely bent when they were pulled out of the ground. <br />Staff has requested that the Greenfield Park equipment he con- <br />sidered as a capital improvement in the 1987 budget as a $20,000 <br />expenditure. Staff would like to entertain some general discus- <br />sion on this issue regarding the feasihility of purchasing this <br />equipment in 1986 and havinq it instal L d this summer. This <br />could be completed on a temporary loan basis so that the neighbor- <br />hood does not have to go through another summer without playground <br />equipment. <br />Staff will he providing an indepth review of each piece of equip- <br />ment at Grt,enfield Park as well as pictures at Monday evening's <br />Council mectinq. <br />AKA/sII <br />k r <br />
