City Council Memorandum To: Mayor Hicks & City Councilmembers From: Barry Bernstein, Parks and Recreation Director Date: May 31, 2012 Item: Slide Replacement Purchase -Hastings Family
Aquatic Center Council Action Requested: Approve the purchase of a replacement slide for the Hastings Family Aquatic Center. Background Information: In 2011, the City maintenance staff
repaired a slide that is connected to the youth climbing structure at the HFAC. The repairs held for the 2011 season, but upon pre-season inspection for this upcoming season, it was
noted that the slide repairs did not hold over the winter. Reviewing the slide, it was determained by staff that the slide is no longer repairable. Thus, to minimize any exposure, it
is requested a new slide be purchased. Staff requested a quote from the manufacturer of the play structure for the replacement slide, which is attached, since the slide must be made
by the same company to fit the existing structure. Financial Impact: This proposed expense is not part of the 2012 approved City budget, but we wish to utilize ERF funding in the amount
of $2,586.41 for the slide plus applicable tax & shipping for a total that is anticipated not to exceed $3,200. Utilizing this funding from ERF would still leave a balance in the HFAC
ERF account. Advisory Commission Discussion: none Council Committee Discussion: none Attachments: • Cost quote of equipment/slide
