Regular Council Meeting <br />6-19-00 <br />Page 12 <br />Mayor Rinker said that the plans were discussed in the Recreation Board. He further said this was a <br />design dispute between the contractor and the architect and the Village would not be responsible, but <br />it is his understanding that the original design would have allowed for an appropriate fall zone; what <br />happened was, the contractor poured the concrete before the equipment arrived and so he set the <br />radius believing that the equipment would go in one place instead of where it ended up going in. <br />When it was installed, the contractor failed to make sure the fall zones were respected. <br />Shelly Kovacevic and Peggy Konieczny of the Recreation Board both expressed safety issues with <br />regards to the curbing. The Recreation Board feels if these surfaces are covered with the rubberized <br />poured-in-play, it will be safe. <br />Mr. Buckholtz said there was a reduction for reducing the rubberized play surface from 2 1/2" to 2". <br />Mr. Thomas said. that 2" will meet all standards. <br />Mr. Ilacqua asked what was at the pool. <br />Mr. Thomas said he believes this is 2 1/2" <br />Mr. Brett advised this would only cost us an additional $ 1,500 to go from 2" to 2 1/2". <br />It was Council's consensus and that of Mayor Rinker that the thickness remains at 2 1/2" for safety <br />reasons. <br />Mr. Thomas said this will be a level playground. <br />Mr. Brett advised that he has an invoice on his desk for $ 70,000 for this project and asked if Council <br />wanted him to hold up payment. <br />Mayor Rinker and Council advised Mr. Brett not to pay it at this time until we are satisfied with the <br />job. <br />Council members, along with the Mayor, Mr. Samac, Mr. Metzung and Mr. Thomas discussed this <br />issue at length. <br />Council President Marquardt asked who is in charge of the project, who is the project manager. <br />Mayor Rinker advised there is no project manager. <br />Council.Rresident Marquardt asked whether or not one should be appointed. <br />Mayor.:Riiiker said it was a little late in the game to appoint one so he advised that he will be the <br />project manager and everyone will report back to him. Mayor Rinker will make sure everything is <br />clear. <br />
