Meeting Chaired By: Mayor Kline Minutes By: Karen Morgan
Item 1) Approval of Minutes: The meeting was called to order by Mayor Kline at 8:48 p.m.
The Finance Director moved to approve the minutes of the March 8, 2018 Board of Control meeting;

Item 2) Approval of a contract for the purchase of new playground equipment for Lions
Park and Washburn Park through U.S. Communities Cooperative Purchasing Program and
providing for immediate enactment as approved in Ord. 39-2018 (relevant quotes are attached)
Pres. of Coun.: That would be $35,438.79 for Washburn and the other for Lions Park at $178,986.83,
correct? Svs. Dir.: That’s correct and it includes the playground surface as well. Fin. Dir.: No, one of
the quotes has “additional items” – are you including those additional items . . . Mayor: No, I think that’s
for the removal of the old equipment. Svs. Dir.: Yes that was for the removal of the wood boards and
pea gravel. Mayor: So, we’re not going to take that option are we? Fin. Dir.: That’s my question.
Mayor: The city will clean up the area and grade and not take that option because otherwise I don’t think
we have enough money. Svs. Dir.: Yes, that’s right. Fin. Dir.: So “pea gravel to be piled in parking lot
at $2,035 is that . . .? Svs. Dir.: We’re not doing that. Fin. Dir.: So the optional add-on on #50275 are
not included?
Svs. Dir.: That is correct. Pre. Of Coun.: Ok, if I understand the optional add-ons, there’s two – one to
just remove the existing equipment for $1,350 which we’re not doing and the other one was to remove the
wood borders and pea gravel plus excavate, which we’re not doing? Is that correct? Just want to clarify.
Law Dir.: So is that final number the correct number? Fin. Dir.: The $35,438.79, yes. Mayor: I move
to approve the contract for the purchase of new playground equipment for Lions and Washburn Parks,
$35,438.79 for Washburn and $178,986.83 for Lions per Ord. 39-2018; seconded by Law Dir. Vote to
approve: 5/0.
