City Center Park/Chanhassen Elementary School Playground Expansion;
Matching Funds, Chanhassen Elementary Parent & Teacher Organization.
The Chanhassen Elementary Parent/Teacher Organization has committed to a second
phase of playground equipment on the "west" playground. They raised approximately
$7000 through recent candy and wrapping paper sales, which they have designated for the
equipment.
I attended a meeting with the APT, Principal Helen Merchant, and Dave Owen, a
playground sales representative on Monday, February 12, 1996.
The committee reviewed the playground plan and decided to recommend the purchase of
the equipment. The committee is asking that the Commission confirm your intention to
provide matching dollars for this project.
Recommendation -
It is recommended that the Commission recommend the City Council designate up to
$7500 in matching funds for the purchase of a phase II playground expansion at the
Chanhassen Elementary/City Center Park "west" playground. These dollars to be drawn
from a fund 410 - Park and Trail Acquisition and Development reserve established for
this purpose. By this action, the Council shall amend the 1996 Park & Trail Acquisition
and Development budget to include this expenditure.
A playground plan will be on display at the Commission meeting.
