Board: playground equipment ordered; approximately half the $111,000 cost to be covered by outside funds
Summary
The board reported purchase of playground equipment with a total estimated cost of $111,000; about 50% is expected to be covered by outside funding and the district will manage tear-out and installation, aiming for spring readiness.
A committee member reported that playground equipment has been purchased with an estimated total cost of $111,000 and that roughly half of the cost will be covered by outside funding sources. "We've got some grants coming in but we figure we're gonna have almost 50% of the $111,000 total cost of lighter and equipment and installation and shipping paid for by Grama," the speaker said (transcript term 'Grama' appears; see audit for a likely transcription/wording issue).
Board members discussed logistical steps including removal of existing equipment prior to installation and anticipated a roughly one-week installation period if volunteer labor is available. Staff indicated hope the new equipment would be installed and ready by spring. No formal vote was taken on the playground purchase during this meeting; the speaker described funding as largely in place.
