Action Requested
1. Adopt,by motion, a resolution acknowledging the removal and donation of obsolete playground
equipment.
2. Approve,by motion, the purchase and installation of playground equipment for Deerfield Hill Park
through Flagship Recreation.
Background/Discussion
The existing Deerfield Hill Park playground is the oldest within the city,installed in 1992, and is beyond
its serviceable life. The city has the opportunity to donate the playground to the nonprofit organization
KIDS Around the World to serve children in third world countries. The city previously partnered with
KIDS Around the World in 2013 for the removal and donation of the Orono and Baldwin Park
playgrounds and again in 2017 for the Barrington Park Playground.
Staff recommends donating the playground at Barrington Park to KIDS Around the World to help
support their mission to build playgrounds for children in underprivileged locations outside the United
States. This organization would dismantle and remove the playground equipment with support from
parks maintenance division staff in August 2018.
The new playground would then be installed utilizing an assisted installation process,including park
maintenance staff and certified installers from Flagship Recreation. This installation process will
maximize funds, allowing for more playground equipment while minimizing installation expenses. The
new playground equipment would be purchased from Landscape Structures Inc. through Flagship
Recreation, the state contract vendor.
In addition to the playground installation, staff will install wood fiber impact surfacing; conduct site
preparations and restoration; and rebuild the timber retaining walls around the playground structure.
Financial Impact
The budget for this project was $80,000 from the Park Improvement Fund. Staff recommends the
purchase and installation of the playground equipment from Flagship Recreation in the amount of
$81,010.53.

The existing playground equipment is a donation with no value. Other countries have different safety
standards than here in the U.S. allowing for reuse after refurbishment. The cost to the city is the labor
costs for parks maintenance staff to assist in the removal of the playground footers;however the
donation through a third party will cost less than hauling and disposing of the equipment at the landfill.

Resolution 18-
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Elk River Authorizing the
Removal and Donation of Obsolete Playground Equipment
WHEREAS, the playground equipment at Deerfield Hill Park is 26 years old and the
typical life span of quality public playground equipment is 20 to 25 years depending on
usage; and,
WHEREAS, the playground equipment at Deerfield Hill Park does not comply with
the ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) consumer safety performance
specifications for playground equipment for public use; and,
WHEREAS, City Council recently directed staff to replace the playground equipment
at Deerfield Hill Park; and,
WHEREAS, city staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend that the
playground equipment at Deerfield Hill Park be removed because it does not meet
either the ASTM or CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) playground safety
guidelines; and,
WHEREAS, because the playground equipment does not meet current safety
standards it cannot be reused in the United States and therefore has no value other
than as scrap; and,
WHEREAS, the scrap value of the playground equipment is less than the cost of
removal of the equipment; and,
WHEREAS, KIDS Around the World, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation with the
mission to build playgrounds for children in underprivileged locations outside the
United States has offered to remove the playground equipment in exchange for
donation by the city of the removed equipment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Elk
River,Minnesota, as follows: the City Council of the City of Elk River acknowledges that
the existing playground equipment at Deerfield Hill Park has no value and authorizes
removal of the playground equipment by KIDS Around the World, and donation of the
equipment to KIDS Around the World in exchange for the removal.
