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