Taos Parks Board logs maintenance needs and equipment cost estimates
Summary
The board reviewed summer maintenance needs, discussed swing-set repair vs. replacement, and recorded equipment costs including a new drag ($545.99), pitching rubber ($154.99), and home plate ($52.59). Val Huhn said she will monitor opportunities to acquire used playground equipment from state sales.
The Parks Board reviewed a range of maintenance and equipment needs at its July 27 meeting, including doorframe repair, field upkeep, and playground equipment. Board members discussed options to repair the existing wooden swing set (estimated at about $200 for new chains and swings) versus replacing it with a new metal set (roughly $2,000). Val Huhn said she would "keep an eye out for State School Selling Playground equipment" as a potential low-cost source for equipment replacements.
The minutes record several specific supply and equipment cost items: a home plate for Field 2 ($52.59); a step-down pitching rubber for Field 1 ($154.99); a new drag desired at $545.99 (6' model preferred); and an estimated new striper at $150–$200. The board also discussed Champ Pro bases as part of an Advanced Turf Solutions deal. No final procurement decisions were recorded; Advanced Turf Solutions is set to evaluate field needs and discuss a phased funding approach (possibly one field per year).
