Council declares Cherry Farms playground equipment surplus, approves $114,374 replacement
Summary
After a December 2023 risk assessment found multiple high‑risk issues at Cherry Farms Park, the council declared the old playground equipment surplus (Resolution 25‑07) and approved purchase of replacement equipment for $114,374.00.
A parks risk assessment conducted in December 2023 identified several high‑risk problems at Cherry Farms Park, and Parks Manager Chay Olson and Trust representative Jason Watterson presented the findings to the council. The city attorney advised that if the city knows equipment is unsafe there are liability risks in selling it, though equipment could be sold "as is" with a buyer release; the council discussed logistics and equal opportunity for buyers.
Following discussion, the council approved Resolution 25‑07 declaring the Cherry Farms playground equipment surplus and voted to purchase replacement playground equipment for $114,374.00. Council members noted removal logistics and potential liability; staff will follow up on sale or disposal details for the old equipment.
