ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Caron
| see you are replacing one piece but it looked like you were looking to do some other pieces to that
playground?
Mr. Caggiano
We will be, with the new budget, now that we are in it this used up the 2018 money and now | will be coming
forward in maybe the next meeting if not the one after with the additional pieces to upgrade that playground.
Alderman Caron
| was wondering why you wouldn't have done them all at once to get a better price.
Mr. Caggiano
That’s how the funding works.
Alderman Caron
That’s a playground that’s out of way but it is used.
Mr. Caggiano
The neighborhood around in back of the college, it is kind of turned over now so there are a lot of younger
families that are there. So we get a lot of requests to upgrade that playground.
Mayor Donchess
When do you think the equipment will be put in?
Mr. Caggiano
It will be next Spring/Summer so should be completed a year from now; by the time it comes in and we build it,
etc.
