Economic Development Board recommends $50,000 pledge for Lincoln Elementary playground
Summary
County staff presented a recommended $50,000 pledge (from Atlantic Richfield annual allocations) for a new playground at Lincoln Primary School to address stormwater drainage and foundation damage; construction aimed to start this summer with a target near September completion.
Carl Hamming, representing the Economic Development Board, recommended the county pledge $50,000 from the Atlantic Richfield annual allocation to rebuild Lincoln Primary School's playground, citing drainage problems and foundation concerns that limit student use.
"This would be a huge asset to the entire neighborhood as well as the School District," Hamming said. CEO Bill Everett noted the funds are part of roughly $1.3 million received annually under a consent decree with Atlantic Richfield and that a small portion is allocated to nonprofit or community projects. Commissioners placed the recommendation on the consent/agenda list for formal action; no final vote was recorded in the work session.
