Pursuant to the Playground Replacement Policy, funding for playground replacements in any year would be from the Lawful Gambling Fund. In the instance of 2025, and given the scope, size and cost of the playground meeting the expectations for Central Park, the preferred playground surfacing of artificial turf and associated expenses may be funded by the Park Trust Fund (in addition to the Lawful Gambling Fund). To summarize: Lawful Gambling Fund, $301,000, Park Trust Fund, $148,000 = $449,000. Note: These expenditures are not from the General Fund (tax levy); and the Lawful Gambling Fund may only be used for purchases and programs that benefit youth in Ramsey, and the Park Trust Fund may only be used for park and trail related improvements in the city. Additionally, the Xgrass artifical turf and the play equipment components costs were established by competitive bid via the Minnesota Department of Administration, Cooperative Purchasing Venture. Recommendation: Staff and the Park & Recreation Commission supports a playground replacement and renovation project for Central Park in the amount of $449,000 that this case discusses. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #25-029, approving a playground replacement for Central Park at a not -to -exceed cost of $449,000, with an intended completion date of May 2025.
