Commission okays $210,516 purchase of inclusive playground equipment for Signal Mountain
Summary
Hamilton County approved $210,516.07 to buy inclusive play equipment for Dahlia Playground in Althouse Park, Signal Mountain. Staff clarified the expenditure complements a separate 'leaning into communities' grant that funds infrastructure elements of the same park project.
The commission authorized the expenditure of $210,516.07 to purchase inclusive playground equipment for Dahlia Playground in Althouse Park, Signal Mountain, with the county mayor authorized to sign related contracts. Staff clarified the county’s earlier "leaning into communities" grant addresses bathroom and path engineering at Rivermont Park while this resolution covers the actual playground equipment.
Commissioner Sharp asked whether the county grant and the playground purchase were duplicative; parks staff explained the funding streams cover different project elements and that this purchase is specifically for playground equipment. The resolution passed by roll call.
