Exerpt from Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes July 2, 2009 Tracie McBride Memorial Park Renovations The following update was for the committee in an email from Mr. Paul Palzer: The work at Tracie McBride Memorial Park should be completed fUlly by the meeting. The only items I'm waiting on are the touch up painting and the class 5 gravel near the pump house. I did talk with Harlan about the whirl and he stated the mounting instructions call for installation from 6-18" above the fall protection. We are at /8" if you level out the sand and I questioned him why we were not iriformed of the height preference and stated his installer only gave us the height of the curbing as their only direction for height. He said that installation instructions should have been sent to City Hall weeks prior to the delivery and I know that both Andy and I called him to receive those instructions prior to the equipment delivery, but never received them. Committee Member Harris stated the play structure for the 3 - 5 year olds is in place and appears to be great, but the merry-go-round is installed too high and something needs to be done with that as it is really not usable as it is for the group intended. It is however, the equipment the kids appear to gravitate to. The climbing wall did not get ordered in this phase, but hopefully will be ordered as soon as funding is available. Ms. Stephan suggested requesting funds from Dead Broke Saddle Club who were very generous with donations for the play structure in Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. Committee Member Harris also stated that Mr. Palzer had told her there was a plexi-glass message board at Public Works which could be installed at the park for community messages. Ms. Stephan will talk to Mr. Patzer regarding this item. Committee Member Harris requested Public Works raise a few of the swings a couple of links. Ms. Stephan will pass this on. The basket ball hoop could use a coat of paint and a hoop. Council Member Lee volunteered to take care of this project himself.
