• PARK AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MINUTES
JULY 23, 1986
This was a special meeting to review playground proposals. Committee
members Grenz, McDonald, Messinger and Lovelace were present. Park
Director Steve Michaud was also present.
The committee began by analyzing various parks, starting with the larger
parks and moving to the smaller playgrounds. Staff had prepared a computer
printout itemizing each playground and park in comparison with each of the
four companies. By doing this, it gave a comparison of the individual
components of each park as proposed by each playground company.
Several good points were brought out using this document, being able to
cross reference the computer analysis with actual plans and models. The
committee worked for a couple hours comparing the nine different projects.
It was the general conclusion, based on the $10,000.00 reduction proposal
from St. Croix Recreation Company, that the committee was favoring that
equipment. Although the committee favored St. Croix Recreation Company,
Earl F. Anderson and Miracle Equipment Company both had interesting
comparisons on certain parks.
The committee also reviewed in detail the various aspects of each
• playground that were unique and would fit the character of each location.
It was also determined that the quality of the equipment being proposed in
each of the bids in all four companies met the specifications as outlined
in the request for proposals. A subcommittee of Pat Messinger and Mary
McDonald was formed to do additional reviews on some of the remaining
smaller parks. After this review is completed, committee members will meet
with staff to analyze their review and be prepared to present this
information at the August 6, 1986 committee meeting.
As of these minutes, the meeting has been scheduled far August 5th between
the noon hour and 2:00 PM.
There being no further business, the committee adjourned.
Meeting adjourned at 9:30 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Gerald S. Michaud, Director
Parks and Recreation
