ALTERNATIVES
City Council may:
- Approve the installation of fall protection by Dakota Playground or Not Approve which will lead to an incomplete playground that will be unsafe to use.
FISCAL EFFECTS
The fall protection material and installation will be done through a Sourcewell State Purchasing Contract. Funding in the amount of $200,000 was approved and set aside in the CIP2025 budget previously approved by City Council. PRPL does not expect to hire any FTEs. Any additional work that maybe incurred because of the new amenities should be handled in the allotted time in which a park employee is already onsite.
