Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes expending up to $250,000 to replace playground equipment at Drummond Woods Park. An evaluation of the play equipment at Drummond Woods Park resulted in a recommendation of replacement due to the age, condition, heavy use volume of the playground. New equipment has been selected that will increase the quality of play, capacity, and the safety of neighborhood children visiting this park. Funds for this project were allocated in the approved mid-year budget adjustment to the Capital Improvement fund.
