Council asks staff to compare costs for repairing or replacing vandalized Hunt Park slide
Summary
After officials said a refurbished slide in Hunt Park was likely vandalized, council asked staff to provide cost estimates for replacement versus repair and to research grants to cover a new, comparable play set.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told the council the damaged slide in Hunt Park was "likely due to vandalism" and that it had previously been refurbished rather than replaced. Councilmembers asked staff to return with the cost of purchasing a new playground set comparable to the existing equipment and to look into possible grant funding.
Council requested that staff include price comparisons for a full replacement set and the likely availability of grants before deciding whether to repair or replace the slide. No final spending authorization was given at the March 26 meeting.
