Huachuca City weighs replacing vandalized playground slide at Hunt Park
Summary
After staff reported likely vandalism to a refurbished slide in Hunt Park, the council asked staff to compare repair costs with purchasing a comparable new play set and to pursue grant options.
Manager Suzanne Harvey told the council that damage to a refurbished slide in Hunt Park was likely caused by vandalism and that the slide in question had not been one of the recently replaced pieces. Council asked staff to obtain costs for purchasing a comparable new play set rather than repairing only the one slide and to research grant opportunities to help cover replacement costs.
No purchase or repair contract was authorized at the March 26 meeting; council requested cost estimates and potential grant sources for a future decision. The discussion emphasized obtaining an option that would be "comparable to the one already there" and minimizing future maintenance and vandalism vulnerability.
