Playground Replacement Policy

The purpose of this case, is to progress the Playground Replacement Policy for City Council’s future consideration—that will guide the programmatic replacement of the city’s approximate 17 existing playgrounds, which can then be forecast within the Capital Improvement Program.  The goal is for the Playground Replacement Policy to inform the 2022-2032 CIP with specific years, estimated costs, and a replacement plan for Ramsey’s existing playgrounds and the associated park’s rejuvenation.

2021 Parks & Recreation Intern Brandon Wagenfeld will present  highlights of the draft policy, including those elements that the Commission recommended for inclusion at the June meeting.
 

None required at this time.

 It is likely the Commission will refine drafts of the Playground Replacement Policy in a subsequent month(s) before a final version is presented to City Council for consideration.  The attached document may be considered a 90% Draft plan.

None required for this policy consideration.

Staff recommends reviewing the draft document and providing any and all comment or ideas for potential inclusion into future iterations of the replacement policy.

Based upon discussion and consensus, provide input on the draft policy document to meet the intent of adopting a Playground Replacement Policy in 2021.
