RecreationandParkCommission | 2018-10-25 | 3 | Commission Discussion: Chair Limoges: Are there any liability issues? Answer: Rubberized playground surface is fully ADA compliant and the best safety surface. This would be under the City's liability just like any other playground. Chair Limoges: Good to have elements at all parks for children with disabilities. Commissioner Robbins: Confirmed the new Littlejohn Park playground would have rubberized surface instead of sand. Answer: Yes and as new playgrounds are built, they either have full or partial rubberized surfacing. 7-C Review and Recommend Adoption of 2019 Recreation and Park User Fee Schedule ARPD Director Amy Wooldridge gave the report for the proposed 2019 fees which included the User Fee background, ARPD Cost Recovery Model which include several free programs and the revised and new fees for 2019.
