Recommended Action
Appointment of member(s) to Playground Selection Committee
The 2022 Capital Improvement Budget allocates $90,000 per park for the replacement of outdated playground
equipment at two parks: Sheridan and Monroe Parks. The equipment is replaced according to a schedule that
addresses the oldest equipment each year and updates it to remain up-to-date with safety standards, design
preferences, and equipment condition.
Open houses will be held at each park on Monday, March 28, to determine the neighborhood’s preferences for
features and design. These preferences will be reflected in the request for proposal for the play equipment,
which will be released in mid-April.
Proposals will then be evaluated by a selection committee; a Community Services Commission member has
served on this committee for past replacement projects, as well as staff people from Recreation Services and
Public Works. The selected proposals will be brought to the Community Services Commission for
consideration on May 17. Pending that outcome, the proposals and quotes will be brought to the City Council
for final approval, likely on May 24.
