Council asks staff for cost comparisons after Hunt Park slide damaged
Summary
Council was told the damaged Hunt Park slide was likely vandalized and asked staff to compare repair costs with replacing the play set and to pursue grant options for funding a new, comparable unit.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told the council that the slide at Hunt Park was likely damaged by vandalism and that the particular unit had been refurbished previously rather than replaced. Councilmembers requested cost estimates for purchasing a new set comparable to the existing equipment and asked staff to research grant funding before deciding whether to repair or replace.
Council did not take a final vote on capital purchase; members asked staff to return with cost comparisons and possible grant sources so the council could weigh a repair versus full replacement decision.
