eoc 24 46 stated the current playground . equipment has been at the Park since 1980 and is in need of repair /replacement. The current play area is located next to the driveway entering the park and the new location proposed is across the meadow in a natural area with shade. Mr. Payne stated that Bliss Products has developed a plan that will provide varied play opportunities for 2 -5 and 5 -12 year olds while maintaining a natural view scape in the Park. The low bid on said project came in at a cost of $39,845.58 and has been allocated as part of the San -Lee Park dam /spillway and associated renovations. County Manager John Crumpton stated that the Park Dam Project came in under budget and no additional funds would be needed for said project. Commissioner Reives stated he didn't feel the timing was right to start spending $40,000 just because we have it. Buchanan Park was also heavily damaged over the weekend from the tornado and funds may be needed to restore it. He further stated he wasn't against what was proposed but felt it was not a good time for Lee County to be spending money — bad timing with all the issues facing the County.
