<br />Playground Equipment (Royal Meadows Park) <br />Ms. DeVine spoke with Harlan Lehman (Minnesota/Wisconsin Playground Equipment) <br />regarding the purchase of play equipment to be installed at the Royal Meadows Park. He <br />suggested purchasing a structure that costs approximately $12,000 but replace some of <br />the features with less expensive features, and lower the price accordingly. Ms. DeVine <br />questioned the committee on what the actual budget is. More specifically, do all of the <br />expenses have to come out ofthe $10,000 budget? <br /> <br />The committee explained that the entire project must come out of the $10,000 budget, <br />which would include the play structure, fiber, pea rock, drain tile, ground covering, etc. <br /> <br />Mr. Navin felt we should get more than one bid for the play equipment with two (2) <br />separate itemized lists indicating fees with or without installation included. <br /> <br />The schedule of steps for Royal Meadows Park are as follows: <br /> <br />Task <br />Written Quotes <br />Approval <br />Gather Volunteers <br />Set up 1 Installation <br /> <br />Date <br />3/1 <br />3/1 <br />515 <br />6/1 <br /> <br />Person <br />Ms. DeVine <br />Committee <br />Ms. DeVine <br />V olunteersIT earn <br /> <br />Bud2et Update <br />The Park and Recreation Committee as a whole felt that the Individual Goals discussed <br />were inclusive of any budget information, so there wasn't any more discussion relating <br />specifically to the budget. <br /> <br />Grant Drafts to Review <br />Ms. DeVine explained that Mr. March, Mr. LeBlanc and she went to the meeting offered <br />by Anoka County regarding the grants offered through the DNR.

Unfortunately, the Girl Scout Troop that was supposed to coordinate the event <br />didn't show up. Luckily, Mr. Tedd Peterson (public works employee) and his family <br />went to the event, only to be greeted by several children asking ifhe was the popcorn and <br />hot chocolate man??? Mr. Peterson was kind enough to take over the responsibility, but <br />felt this should have been taken care o~ since we advertised the event. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />" <br />
