Chair Gast to draft bench policy, recommends metal or composite benches on concrete pads
Summary
Chair Joelyn L. Gast told the board she prefers composite or metal benches on a 3-by-7-foot concrete pad and will draft a formal bench policy to present at the next meeting.
Chair Joelyn L. Gast reported she has discussed bench specifications with public works and said the board should prefer composite or metal benches placed on a 3-foot by 7-foot concrete pad. Gast said she will draft a bench policy and present guidelines at the next Parks and Open Spaces Board meeting so the board can adopt consistent installation standards.
The recommendation is intended to set a standard for materials and placement so new benches are durable and installed uniformly across city parks. The board did not vote on the policy at this meeting; Gast will return with a proposed policy and any required cost or installation details at a future meeting.
