<br /> <br /> <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br /> <br />and bring it to the City Council for approval and invite the Commission. We should put it back on <br />social media and get notification to the neighbors. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: <br />At the May 27, 2025, City Council meeting, Property owners adjacent to Hodges Park spoke at <br />matters from the floor. The property owners learned PRFC voted to put the Zipline back up and <br />request the Council consider moving to Silver View Park. The property owners were requesting <br />Council to reserve this decision and not put the Zipline back up. This item was not on the Council <br />agenda and Public Works Staff was not present nor has Staff had ample time to secure the <br />needed cost proposals from the playground contractor. The Council after discussion moved to <br />place the Zipline back up at least until September and consider moving the Zipline depending on <br />costs. <br /> <br />Staff has received a quote from MWP Recreation for the moving the Zipline from Hodges Park to <br />Silver View Park at a cost of $53,649.20, this includes the installation of new swings and placing <br />the purple and green dinosaur’s back at the park. <br /> <br />MWP Recreation is on the US Communities Government Purchasing Alliance, similar to the State <br />Cooperative Purchasing Venture, and has furnished and installed previous playground equipment <br />in Mounds View in a satisfactory manner. <br /> <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />A progressive City that is a welcoming and desirable destination to all ages and cultures, who <br />seek progress through partnership, and a place where residents can live, work and play safely <br />and show pride in the community. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br />This item is not included in the 2025 budget and would require a budget adjustment of <br />$53,694.2-in the Special Project Funds, account 480-4360-7050. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is recommending the City Council adopt this Resolution to accept the quote from Minnesota <br />Wisconsin Playground for the relocation of the Zipline and installation of the playground <br />equipment, site preparation, installation of concrete for a total of $53,649.20 funded from account <br />and 480-4360-7050. 4160 OR 4360? <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
