TOT LOT/PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT <br />RIVER'S BEND PARK <br /> By: Merland Otto <br /> <br />case <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The 1989 Parks Capital Improvements budget includes $6,000.00 for <br />initial development of a tot lot/playground area at River's Bend <br />Park. In addition, $3,000 was budgeted for playground equipment <br />at Autumn Heights Park and $3,000 for tot lot development at <br />Titterud Park. <br /> <br />As you'll recall, the City received a petition last year for <br />development of a tot lot/playground area at River's Bend Park which <br />was signed by over 50 residents. <br /> <br />I've discussed the line of equipment which the City uses with Merle <br />Mevissen and he indicated that they use "landscape structures". <br />Installation of the equipment has been primarily through volunteer <br />groups in the past. <br /> <br />I have included copies of various play equipment within the general <br />price range for each park. I'll have a catalog available at the <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Recommendations: <br /> <br />That the Park Commission consider which components of the various <br />systems should be purchased for each park. The Parks Commission <br />may also wish to consider reallocation of budget funds in order to <br />install larger systems. <br /> <br />commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to: <br />Recommend to the City Council expenditures for the following <br />improvements: <br /> <br />Totlot/playground equipment @ River's Bend Park: $6,000 <br />Totlot @ Titterud Park: $3,000 <br />Playground Equipment @ Autumn Heights Park: $3,000 <br />Overhead & Contingencies @ 30%: $3,600 <br /> $15,600 <br /> <br />Recommend that the City investigate possible volunteer groups <br />willing to install the equipment at each park. <br /> <br />Recommend to City Council that Hakanson Anderson Assoc., Inc. <br />provide layout plans for placement of the equipment at each <br />park. <br /> <br /> <br />
