I <br /> ,.t <br /> EN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: September 19,2011 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br /> FROM: Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br /> SUBJECT: Disposal of Old Playground Equipment <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> Mayor Grant requested that this item be on this work session agenda. This discussion <br /> item is the disposal of old City playground equipment that is being replaced. Attached <br /> are parts of two League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) e-mails on this topic (one is from an <br /> LMC staff member and one e-mail is from Terry Maurer that tells me what an LMC staff <br /> member told him). <br /> In 2011-12 the City plans to replace the playground equipment at Valentine Park. <br /> Michelle Olson will be at this work session and can review with us the playground <br /> equipment that will be available. Typically the City would require that the vendor that <br /> gets the bid for the new playground equipment be responsible for the removal and <br /> disposal of the old playground equipment. In this situation, Mayor Grant has asked if it <br /> was possible for the old equipment to be donated to a Church(or a City?)that has a need <br /> for equipment for its playground. <br /> As you can tell be the LMC responses to our question, the donation of old equipment is <br /> legal but the City should get a "sign-off' on any liability concerns. Additionally, the City <br /> should not have any cost for this type of donation. A complicating factor could be if <br /> more than one non-profit group requests the same equipment. <br /> City Council Meeting <br /> P:\Admin\Council\Agendas&Packet Information\2011\9-19-11 Worksession\Packet InformationTlayground <br /> Equipment.doc <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
