Committee gets schedule updates on playground installation, pavilion lighting and EV charger planning
Summary
Staff told the committee playground equipment has been mobilized and a shipment expected in late May or early June, but playground restroom construction is behind schedule pending permitting; pavilion lighting has arrived and EV charger planning for the North Parking Lot is underway with Robert following up.
Staff briefed the Park & Recreation Committee on multiple park projects and near‑term maintenance items.
Playground: staff said the contractor has mobilized, the playground area has been cleared and equipment shipment is expected in late May or early June; installation timing is not yet definite and staff advised that the playground bathroom construction is running behind the playground because permitting and contractor selection remain outstanding.
Pavilion lighting: Coast Lighting has delivered the new lighting ahead of schedule and staff reported that the remaining payment was issued and installation is expected in the next few weeks.
EV chargers: a committee member asked whether EV chargers will be installed in the North Parking Lot; staff said Robert is handling that work and will provide updates.
Other maintenance: staff reported recent repairs to clay court valves, a backflow leak that required a temporary shutdown and ongoing assessment of the main house upstairs floor that is showing material or heat-related movement; staff said they are considering window film or other measures to mitigate heat exposure before replacing flooring.
Why it matters: these capital and maintenance items affect the availability of park amenities for scheduled events and public use. The committee requested that staff return with more specific timelines and permitting status for the playground bathroom and a follow‑up on EV charger planning.
Next steps: staff will track installation dates for playground equipment and lighting, provide permitting status and a timetable for the bathroom, and report on EV charger progress at a subsequent meeting.
