Minutes 11-21-96 Page 2 7- DEFERRED MATTERS A. Authorization To Replace Playground Equipment At Oakbrook Neighborhood Park Sorensen reviewed recent events relative to the recommendation. He described the proposed equipment, and said that it would accommodate more play opportunities than is presently provided, and that this would be an opportunity to upgrade the equipment to meet current standards. He explained that staff has met with representatives from the local homeowners association and concerned parents, and the proposed equipment is similar to that at Conejo Creek North Park and North Ranch Playfield. In response to Berger's inquiry, Sorensen said that the District's ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) transition plan specifies that base materials be changed only at community park sites. In response to Board inquiries, Sorensen said that the new composite equipment provides approximately six or seven play components, it is more expensive because it meets current standards, the equipment at North Ranch is approximately four and half years old and both staff and users are pleased with it, staff is trying to meet the needs of the Oakbrook Park constituents, the park is being used intensively, and the cable slide will not be removed. It was moved by Berger, seconded by Lange, and carried unanimously, 4-0, to authorize the expenditure of $8,600 from the Contingency Fund, to be reimbursed from Park Development Fees, for the replacement of worn out play equipment at Oakbrook Neighborhood Park. 8.
