Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br />DATE: April 18, 2016 <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Sue Iverson, Acting City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: John Anderson, Acting Public Works Director <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Playground Structure Replacement <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />Provide Staff with feedback on playground structure replacement programmed in the Capital <br />Improvement plan (CIP). <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The City has established a playground structure replacement policy in the Parks Maintenance <br />plan Approved November 15, 2010. (Attachment A) This plan projects the need for structure <br />replacement every 20 years. The city has a number of structures that are approaching the end of <br />their life on this schedule. We have programmed those playground structures for replacem ent in <br />the CIP (Attachment B). <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />Before staff begins acting on those plans we wanted to check in the City Council and see if it is <br />the Council’s desire to proceed on the replacement programmed for 2016 at Perry Park. Pictures <br />of the existing playground structure are attached (Attachment B). This particular structure is in <br />need of updates from a staff perspective. The updates include elimination of barriers such as the <br />wood retaining walls. Elimination of the walls is important from a number of perspectives, <br />access, maintenance and safety to name a few. There is a large sand play area we would <br />recommend removing. The playstructure has a mulch surface under the structure; with a mulch <br />base it is important to install draintile and sand below to provide proper drainage. The <br />Playground structure itself could be reduced in size. The structure appearance is showing signs <br />of its age with fading powder coating, and rusting steel where the powder coating has cracked. <br />AGENDA ITEM – 1G <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />
