Council asks staff for cost and grant options after Hunt Park slide damaged
Summary
After reporting likely vandalism to a refurbished slide at Hunt Park, Town Manager Suzanne Harvey said staff will provide cost comparisons for purchasing a new comparable set and research potential grants; council asked for estimates before deciding repair vs. replacement.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told the council that the damaged slide in Hunt Park was likely vandalized and that the piece had previously been refurbished rather than replaced. Council members asked staff to provide the cost of purchasing a comparable new play set and to look for grant funding options to cover replacement costs.
"This is not one of the slides that was replaced, it was refurbished," Manager Suzanne Harvey said, and Council asked staff to present estimates for a new, comparable set before authorizing repair or replacement. No final purchase decision was made on March 26; staff will return with cost estimates and potential grant sources.
