Hansen Park Play Structure <br />The present status of the structure was explained to the Board. The <br />Village Council at its meetingof July 28, 1970 had reviewed the <br />Park Board's recommendation to remove the beam across the north slide <br />and remove the high dive platform on the north side. The Council <br />approved removal of the beam but voted to add a railing along the <br />north slide rather than remove the platform. <br />The Board discussed the other modifications suggested at the previous. <br />meeting and the cost of these changes. Item 1, lowering the entire <br />structure by 3 feet was generally considered to be too costly. <br />Sherlock and Hagemeyer stated that they were pleased with the structure <br />and the children were using it heavily. It was their feeling that <br />some of the modifications appeared to be changed for the sake of <br />change. Hagemeyer said that the Council action had accomplished a <br />part of Item 2, adding railings along the head of each, slide and he <br />would favor completion of that proposal. Dahl stated that in talking <br />to the children playing in the area, Item 4, filling in open area in <br />the southeast corner of the first deck level with flooring, appeared <br />to have their approval. Item 3, enclosing the southwest wall with <br />vertical slats did not receive any support. <br />Motion by Sherlock, to reject Items 1, 3, and 4 and recommend completion <br />of Item 2.
