Council asks for cost comparisons on Hunt Park slide and scaled-down Town Hall parking improvements
Summary
After staff reported likely vandalism to a refurbished slide in Hunt Park, Council asked for cost estimates for a comparable new set and for grant possibilities; Chief Berry was asked to return with reduced-scope parking-lot quotes addressing ADA and lighting.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey said a slide at Hunt Park was damaged and that the unit had been refurbished in the past; staff recommended evaluating whether to repair the slide or replace the entire playset. Council members asked staff to provide the cost of a comparable new set and to investigate grant funding to cover replacement rather than piecemeal repairs.
Chief Berry brought back the Town Hall parking lot project in a reduced scope after earlier plans were cost-prohibitive; Council asked for new estimates addressing ADA compliance, curbing, parking counts and lighting and asked that the reduced-scope cost be presented for consideration. Mayor Wallace asked Berry to return with quotes before proceeding.
