<br />MEMO <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> <br />FROM: Kim Stephan <br /> <br />DATE: January 4, 2007 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Request for Funding to Replace Skate Park Equipment <br /> <br />Replacine: Skate Park Equipment <br /> <br />Two (2) Sun Ramp quarter pipes and a spine have been (or will be) removed as they have become a safety <br />hazard, mostly due to usage. The Sun Ramp equipment is constructed of fiber board under rubberized <br />coating. The Skate Wave equipment has held up better, but it is metal and is rusting, as well as being louder <br />and heavier equipment. Mr. Tedd Peterson, Public Works, recommends going with Rhino Ramp equipment <br />through Dura Fun Recreation Products. The last equipment ordered was a quarter pipe and three (3) grinding <br />rails in 2005, from Dura Fun. The quarter pipe, at that time, was $4,660, excluding shipping charges. <br />Committee Member Mosher will contact Dura Fun for specific prices, but replacing these three (3) pieces <br />will be a minimum of$15,000. <br /> <br />Mr. John Meyer, Finance Director, said that replacing skate park equipment is not something that has been <br />budgeted for in the past and there is not money available in the Maintenance Fund to cover the costs to <br />replace this equipment at this time. In the future there could be money allocated, but the committee would <br />have to request to have funds included in the budget over a period of time, with a schedule of equipment to <br />be replaced. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Amundsen, seconded by Committee Member Selander to <br />request City Council allocate the monies recently returned to the City from the District Memorial <br />Hospital Board in the amount of $17,383.12 to be used to replace the skate park equipment at Laurie <br />LaMotte Memorial Park. All in favor. Motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />1 of 1 <br /> <br />$ <br />
