COUNTRYSIDE ESTATES PARK IMPROVEMENTS <br />(IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 90-25) <br /> By: Merland Otto <br /> <br />CAS #1 <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The 1990 parks budget includes $7,500 for site improvements at <br />Countryside Estates Park (Sorteberg 6th Addition). The City <br />Council authorized preparation of park improvement plans on July <br />24, 1990. <br /> <br />city Engineer, Steve Jankowski, has been coordinating with <br />residents to develop a park improvement program. As a result of <br />those meetings, the consensus is to purchase playground equipment <br />rather than initiating other site improvements. <br /> <br />Attached is a rough sketch of the proposed park plan indicating the <br />approximate location of the tot lot, a future ballfield, vehicle <br />parking and open area. <br /> <br />If the Parks Commission concurs, Mr. Jankowski will meet with the <br />residents to select playground equipment for the park. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Delivery of playground equipment takes 4-6 weeks after ordering so <br />equipment would be installed in 1991. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff concurs that tot lot equipment could be installed without <br />limiting future park development. Park equipment selected should <br />be compatible with other playground equipment elements in the <br />city's park system. Finally, in accord with policy, resilient <br />surfacing and perimeter timbers should be installed with the <br />equipment. <br /> <br />commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend/not recommend purchase of playground equipment, <br />providing resilient surfacing and perimeter timbers in an amount <br />of $7,500 plus overhead and contingency for Countryside Estates <br />park. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />City Attorney <br />city Engineer <br />Zoning Administrator <br /> <br />X <br /> <br />X <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />Finance Officer X <br />Public Works Supt.
