On November 10, 2005 the City was notified <br />that we were awarded a grant in the amount of $112,000. This grant requires <br />a 45% match for the purchase of playground equipment offer by Game Time. <br />The total value of the play equipment is $263,292.05. This action will <br />purchase six major play equipment for four park sites (Windsor, Centennial, <br />Sandpointe and Thornton Parks). Similar to the KaBoom Program, the <br />installation of the play equipment will require additional contract <br />services and/or volunteer effort to install. The purchase of play equipment <br />under this program significantly reduces the cost of the equipment. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />Funds for this grant are available in the Parks Acquisition and Development <br />Fund Account (account no. 301-232-6631) in the amount of $151,292.05. <br /> <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br /> <br /> <br />.~ <br /> <br />. {(~)"" C' D"~.. ~ ~\-~~ l _ <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Mgmt Services Agency <br /> <br />do Mouet <br />Exec tive Director <br />Parks, Recreation and <br />Corrnnunity Services Agency <br /> <br />21A-1 <br />
