Summary

Board members said playground equipment has been purchased and that grants should cover nearly 50% of the estimated $111,000 total cost for equipment, shipping and installation; tear-out of existing equipment will be required before installation.

A board member reported the district has purchased playground equipment and said the total cost, including installation and shipping, is about $111,000. “We figure we're gonna have almost 50% of the $111,000 total cost of… equipment and installation and shipping paid for by Grama,” the member told the board (transcript phrase: 'Grama').

The presenter said the district will likely need to remove existing equipment before installation and suggested volunteers could assist with tear-out to reduce costs. The board expects installation to take about a week once removal is complete and plans to have the equipment ready by spring. The item was informational; no final additional appropriation was recorded during the meeting.
