Council approves budget amendment to replace nostalgic springs at Tower Park playground
Summary
Council approved a budget amendment to replace damaged nostalgic spring toys at Tower Park; staff recommended replacing all four springs at a total cost of $22,000 and said the work requires turf and contractor work beyond in-house capacity.
Parks staff reported that two of the nostalgia springs at Tower Park are damaged and recommended replacing all four for $22,000, citing installation and turf work that the city cannot perform in-house. A council member said the springs were the playground's most popular features and recommended replacing all four; staff noted the quoted price came from the firm that installed the playground.
A motion to approve the $22,000 budget amendment (parks maintenance) was seconded and a roll call was taken; the motion passed on the record. Councilors asked staff to pursue possible surplus or donation options for the removed pieces and to track the budget amendment in next month's financial update.
