City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers
From: Chris Jenkins, Parks & Recreation Director
Date: October 16, 2023
Item: Surplus Property
Council Action Requested:
Declare Dakota Hills Park playground equipment and swings as surplus property and
authorize sale or disposal of same.
Background Information:
The City of Hastings is the owner of playground equipment and swings located within
Dakota Hills Park. The equipment has served its useful life for the residents of Hastings
and is being replaced with new equipment.
Most often when playground equipment is replaced, the contractor completing the new
installation removes the old equipment and charges the City a fee to complete that work.
There is a possibility to sell this equipment, as is, where is, which would eliminate any
extra costs to the City for removal. If a sale is not possible, this equipment will be disposed
of.
Financial Impact:
If a sale is possible, a minimal amount of revenue will come back to the City, but more
importantly the City will not incur costs for removal.
