SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City of McCall Parks and Recreation Department is seeking approval to submit a grant application to the McCall Rotary Club in an amount of $5500 to support the purchase and installation
of the Ruby Falls play structure element in Brown Park.
Ruby Falls is an ADA compliant precast creek-type sand and water table that is push-button activated, resulting in a fast-flowing mini creek through deltas and dams of sand that youth
can build, alter and remove to change how the water flows. Through social and experimental play, Ruby Falls teaches youth hydrologic functions by demonstrating cause and effect of changes
to water flow through the play element. The total cost of the play element is $10,900. The grant request ($5500) will be matched by $5400 from the Parks and Recreation Department budget.
Specification for the Ruby Falls play element and draft concept plan for Brown Park improvements showing anticipated location of play element are attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submittal of a McCall Rotary Club grant application and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
