The two areas are as <br />follows; the swing area with the two (2) baby swings attached, including sand and border timbers. The <br />other one has the spring toys in it. We are hoping that it will be easier to demolish it in sections rather <br />than all at one next spring. Is there space at Public Works to store this equipment for re-installation <br />later? Also we need to know what is still necessary behind the old fence area around the pump house. <br />(Meters, pipe stands, etc.) Can the fence be re-built to accommodate only what has to be there to free <br />up more space? Is there paint available to touch up the play structure? Are there man hours available to <br />do any of this? Please forward this to Public Works. <br /> <br />Per Paul Patzer, Public Works Director: <br /> <br />We may be able to get to some of these items yet this fall, but we are running weeks behind on <br />other public works projects with the installation of the playground equipment this spring at Laurie <br />LaMotte Memorial Park. We do have some room at public works for storing the playground <br />equipment outside behind our building. The fenced area is no longer required by the <br />telecommunication companies so it could be removed in its entirety. Does the Parks & Recreation <br />Committee have any plans for a new park layout? If the sand is removed, what would they want in its <br />place? Would the committee want it saved? <br /> <br />Per Chairperson Pell, responding to Mr. PaIzer's questions: <br /> <br />We do not have a layout for the park yet, but we will not be re-using the sand. We plan on using the <br />same product that was installed at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for the drop zone. We plan on <br />containing all the play equipment in one area A basketball court is being considered. Can any of the <br />meters, pipe stands or other things that are behind the fence be removed? We do not know what is still <br />in use, if any of it. We should have more information after the September 6, 2006 committee meeting. <br />Let us know if you think Public Works can get to any of this, yet this fall. Do you think it would be <br />easier/cost effective to wait until next spring? <br /> <br />10f3 <br />
