On November 10, 2005 the City was notified <br />that we were awarded a grant in the amount of $87,387.35. This grant <br />requires a 45% match for the purchase of playground equipment offer by Game <br />Time. The total value of the play equipment is $215,563.86. This action <br />will purchase six maj or play equipment for four park sites (Windsor, <br />Centennial, Sandpointe and Thornton Parks). Similar to the KaBoom Program, <br />the 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 $128,176.51. <br /> <br /> <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br /> <br />':(\\(',,,,,-1' .1>-"'.. 1\ ,1Sr, <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Mgmt Services Agency <br /> <br />Gerardo Mou <br />Executive D'rector <br />Parks, Recreation and <br />Community Services Agency <br /> <br />21A-1 <br />
