The play structure, playground <br />surfacing and curbing were not included as part of the agreement with the general contractor. A <br />task force was created to assist in determining the playground design. The task force has <br />expressed a desire to recommend a playground that is estimated to cost more than was originally <br />budgeted. Members of the task force and neighbors in the Exchange have started a fund raising <br />campaign to cover the remainder of the cost for the purchase and installation of the playground. <br /> <br /> <br />________________________________________ <br />Jason Hicks <br />Acting Director of Parks and Recreation <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> Resolution <br />AGENDA SECTION: Special Order <br />REPORT DATE: May 17, 2017 <br />MEETING DATE: May 23, 2017
