The Sioux Rapids City Council voted May 12 to accept a $25,000 donation from Taylor Family Farms and to authorize purchase of playground equipment for a total project cost of $80,241.
Andrew Wetrich presented plans for the new playground and told the council the project budget is $80,241, with roughly $40,000 expected from fundraisers and the remainder to be paid by the city.
