COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DATE: January 27, 2021
TO: Honorable Chairperson and Commission Members
FROM: Tim Kelsey, Recreation Manager
SUBJECT: Centennial Expenditure Updates
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Recreation and Parks commission to receive an update and further discuss
possible projects to fund with money received from the City’s centennial
celebration.
BACKGROUND:
On September 23rd, 2020 staff provided the commission an update on the
accounting of funds generated from the City’s Centennial celebration. At that
time the commission asked staff to further research possible projects such as
outdoor exercise equipment that could be placed throughout the City.
Staff has researched several vendors who provide such equipment and have
identified Greenfields Outdoor Fitness equipment as being the best option for the
City. Greenfields provides a variety of different components of varied intensity.
Greenfields is also a partner of Miracle Play structures who has built all other
play structures in the City. This would make replacement parts and components
much easier in future. Greenfields is also located in Orange County which will
help to simplify services in the future.
Staff has worked with the vendor to setup some very preliminary budgetary
numbers. However staff must inform the commission th at these cost estimates
have not been advertised for installation and no site investigation has been
completed. These numbers were estimates that the vendor was able to provide
based on past experience within this area.
Based on the budget that is available for the project staff and vendor estimate
that the City can install 6 pieces of equipment total. Equipment would be
installed in clusters of 2 at 3 different sites. Staff will provide a detailed
presentation at the meeting of possible options that can be installed using the
available budget.

RECOMMENDATION:
The Recreation and Parks commission discusses the possible projects and helps
staff to refine a proposal that can be recommended to the City Council for
approval at a later date.
