West stated the symposium is on April 22nd, 6:30-9:OOpm in Roseville. This is something new for MRPA. The symposium will include Board and Commission responsibilities, differences between elected and advisory boards, consultant Greg Ingraham will be there, public input process will be discussed, cost effective input ideas, there will be a lobbyist there to talk about recreation legislation, also guest panelists. At least three commissioners stated they would attend. A reminder e-mail will go out. Others that would like to attend were to let Jason West know by Friday. C. Veteran's Park Playground Structure Frischman stated West will provide information about this process and answer questions of the commission. No recommendation is needed. • West stated this is part of our non -infra -structure dollars. The Director of Parks and Recreation will take this recommendation to the Council on April 22nd. The favored quote will be awarded on April 23`d. West showed a diagram of the proposed play structure from Game Time. We have $39,000 in replacement cost dollars. We requested $30,000 of actual play structure cost. The rest is for wood fiber, trim, grading and incidentals. Game Time is giving us $42,000 worth of playground equipment. They are giving the City $13,000 in trade-in for the old structure. The old structure is also a Game Time structure. All other quotes came in at the $30,000 mark. We are getting almost $43,000 of play structure for $30,000. This structure has 4 slides, 4 play decks, a suspension bridge. There is a sky runner, 8 foot rock climber and it has power lock connections which will reduce the amount of hardware used and helps prevent vandalism. Chris Wolla, Park Maintenance Manager stated the power lock system is something that he particularly likes about this structure. The old system using clamps and bolts would shift and move after time and can make the structure dangerous if they shift apart enough. With the new system, the bolt is inside and the cap goes over it with a locking compound. The only way to get it off is to cut it. If there would be a maintenance issue, that could be a headache but in the long run it will be best. There are 85% less hardware in this structure. From a maintenance stand point, that means less that can go wrong. • Game Time is the vendor that put in the outdoor play structure, for the school, at the Family Service Center.
