<br />MEMO <br /> <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Committee Members <br /> <br />FROM: Kim Stephan <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Xcelerator Retro-Fit Kit <br /> <br />DA TE: March 26, 2009 <br /> <br />Correspondence regarding the Xcelerator Retro-Fit Kit (Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Play <br />Structure): <br /> <br />From Mr. Palzer to Mr. Harlan Lehman, Minnesota Wisconsin Playground, Inc. <br /> <br />The Parks and Recreation CommiUee is requesting more detailed information on the recall of the Xcelerator <br />play equipment that was installed at LaMoue Park in 2007. It appears that the manufacturer will be <br />replacing the swirling part of the play equipment with a mono pole. Will the manufacturer reimburse the <br />city for the cost of the play piece? It appears the original moving piece was not designed properly and hence <br />is being eliminated making that portion of the play structure unusable as intended, advertised and sold. <br />Please let me know prior to the work commencing at the park. <br /> <br />Response from Mr. Don King, GameTime: <br /> <br />As described and illustrated in the accompanying documents, GameTime seek.5 to replace your existing <br />Xcelerator carriage assembly and supports with a design that is intended to be used by one child without the <br />aid of other children spinning the user. We believe the rotating function of the new design is essentially the <br />same as was intended with the original Xcelerator, but the Retro-Fit Kit discourages misuse or use in an <br />unintended manner. We function of your Xcelerator is not being eliminated. <br /> <br />lYe hope yuufind our comments helpful. If you have further questions, please do nol hesitate to contact us. <br /> <br />Accompanying documents attached to this memo. <br />
