'!Tt <br /> ARZEN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: April 17, 2012 Agenda Item: 3.11. <br /> TO: Parks Trails and Recreation Committee <br /> FROM: Michelle Olson, Parks and Recreation Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Park Bench Location Discussion <br /> Background <br /> The park bench implementation program was approved in 2010 by the City Council. This <br /> implementation program is on a four year cycle. We are in year three of the cycle. The CIP <br /> includes $5,000 each year for the remaining two years, 2012, 2013. The City Council directed <br /> staff to select a consistent bench style when replacing or adding benches. The style chosen was <br /> the Parkshore Contemporary Bench. This style is a comfortable design made entirely of <br /> recycled materials, including the frames. This is an in-ground design, which makes it very <br /> sturdy and maintenance free. The bench is cedar colored with black frames. Staff purchased <br /> eight of these benches last year. Staff researched 2012 prices and discovered that $5,000 will <br /> cover 11 benches this year. <br /> One of the PTRC's approved goals is to recommend locations for the purchased benches. Staff <br /> will bring the bench purchases to City Council approval in April Staff recommends the PTRC <br /> review the attached map and be prepared to recommend bench placement. These locations can <br /> be changed or alternate locations can be added by the committee. Staff provided potential <br /> locations only for discussion purposes. <br /> Requested Action <br /> Staff is asking for the PTRC to recommend locations for eleven park benches <br /> 04172012 Bench Location Discussion.doc <br />
