Agenda Item No. 4, Community Playground Proposal, Bob Mundlin and
Larry Flynn.
A presentation was made by Bob Mundlin, Larry Flynn, and Kosse
Maykus regarding the "Southlake Playground Initiative." The
presenters explained the scope of their project which was completed
as a part of their Leadership Southlake class. The concept of this
program is to construct a community -built playground for children
of Southlake. They explained that the costs to the City and its
citizens should be minimal. One primary expense is acquiring the
land; the other is purchase and construction of the equipment. The
playground is actually built with labor performed by residents and
other volunteers, and donated materials from area businesses and
contractors. The City will be required mainly to provide for
annual maintenance of the playground. Average life of the
playground is expected to be 25 years.
Motion was made to recommend to City Council that this playground
proposal be accepted and the City begin solicitation or
consideration of a site from the public or use the extended
Bicentennial park land.
