UC 1,di 1989 <br />GOOK 78 PAGE 191 <br />BUDGET AMENDMENT 004 -- RECREATION EQUIPMENT <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/11/89: <br />TO: Members of the Board <br />of County Commissioners <br />DATE: October 11, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: RECREATION EQUIPMENT REQUEST <br />BUDGET AMENDMENT 004 - REVISED <br />FROM: Joseph A. Baird <br />OMB Director <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The Gifford Park Recreation Committee did not approve the purchase of <br />additional playground equipment in time for funds to be expended from <br />the 1988/89 Recreation budget; this resulted in $10,000 remaining <br />unspent last year. The Recreation Department would like to spend <br />these monies in the 1989/90 fiscal year. <br />Pat Callahan, Recreation Department Head, has informally received two <br />(2) bids from playground equipment manufacturers, Dominica Recreation <br />Products ($7,862.00) and Miracle Equipment ($8,625.78). Although <br />Dominica Recreation Products offers a playground system that is $800 <br />less than Miracle Equipment, Mrs. Callahan prefers using the latter <br />company, for the following reasons: <br />1. The equipment in her experience requires._low maintenance and <br />there is a local service representative. <br />2. Miracle Equipment sells a play model of the space shuttle <br />Columbia, an important symbol to the community, given our <br />proximity to Cape Canaveral. <br />• <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the purchase of a playground system from Miracle <br />Equipment and a budget amendment in the amount of $8,616.00 be <br />approved. <br />Pat Callahan, Recreation Department Head, assured the Board <br />that this equipment is safe. <br />46 <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously (.4-0, <br />Commissioner Scurlock being absent) approved Budget <br />Amendment #004 in the amount of $8,616 as set out <br />in the above staff recommendation. <br />42 <br />
