<br />City of Centerville <br />Park and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes <br />April 2, 2025 <br />for ages 5-12. Chairperson Errickson-Grahek stated that the existing equipment would not be used <br />by all three vendors for an alternative park as they had concerns regarding liability, and the new <br />play area would be closer to the pavilion as the pad would be larger. <br />It was the consensus of the committee to re-use some of the equipment at another park if it was in <br />good condition and deemed safe. Committee Member Fuchs investigated the type of wood chips <br />proposed, discovering that engineered rubber material was half the cost. Committee Member <br />Peterson explained that rubber becomes compressed over time and is suitable for wheelchairs and <br />crutches. Chairperson Erickson-Grahek compared pressed board to woodchips, and Committee <br />Member Peterson agreed with the comparison. Council Liaison Kubat suggested revisiting the <br />bidders in an attempt to have the bids be apples to apples regarding fall zone materials. <br />Chairperson Erickson-Grahek recommended that committee members review the bids thoroughly <br />and the item would be discussed at the next meeting. Staff would then be given a question listing <br />to take back to all bidders for responses. <br /> <br />VII. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />1.
