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 of the $10,000 budget? <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 /> 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 /> The schedule of steps for Royal Meadows Park are as follows: <br /> Task Date Person <br /> Written Quotes 3/1 Ms. DeVine <br /> Approval 3/1 Committee <br /> Gather Volunteers 5/5 Ms. DeVine <br /> Set up / Installation 611 Volunteers/Team <br /> Budget 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 /> 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. Mr. March and Ms. <br /> DeVine went to the area that related specifically to Outdoor Recreation Grants, while Mr. <br /> LeBlanc went to the area related to trails. Mr. LeBlanc felt it would be beneficial to <br /> apply for additional grants. Ms. DeVine explained the she spoke with Audrey from <br /> Anoka County who informed her that funds for the Outdoor Recreation Grants have all <br /> been expended. <br /> Family Skate Night /Community Skate Night <br /> Ms. Lien explained that the Community Skate Night held on January 23 was not a <br /> success. 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 if he 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 of, since we advertised the event. <br /> 3 <br />
