Board weighs benches at skate park; staff estimates $2,600 per bench
Summary
The board discussed community concerns about seating at the skate park. Staff said benches must be sited for ADA access and estimated each bench at about $2,600; funding would likely come from use tax if available.
Board members raised online concerns about a lack of seating at the skate park. Staff said the city recently invested roughly $42,000 in new skate park equipment and that adding benches is possible but must comply with ADA placement rules.
The staff member said the benches would likely need to be placed at the edge of the concrete for accessibility and estimated unit cost: "Those benches are about $2,600," the staff member said. Staff said they will check remaining use‑tax balances to see if funding is available and follow up with the board on a possible purchase.
No procurement action was taken at the meeting; staff encouraged public feedback on bench placement and accessibility considerations.
