Consider Playground Equipment Design for Peach Hill Park. Staff Recommendation: Approve the Miracle playground equipment design (Attachment A). Mary Lindley explained that the ad hoc committee, Commissioner Catrambone and Chair Dubreuil, visited Rancho Simi Park in Simi Valley to examine a particular design of play equipment. The play apparatus offers more challenging features for children ages 5 through 12 years. Ms. Lindley also explained that the proposed playground design includes four swings (two bays with two swings each), and depending on the total cost of play equipment and installation, the purchase of a tire swing may be feasible. The Commission discussed the proposed design of the equipment and agreed to have four swings, with the addition of a tire swing if enough funds are remaining. Commissioner Pflaumer stated that his only concern is the smaller children (under 5 years) may injure themselves on the equipment, since it is an advanced design. Chair Dubreuil explained that a sign is posted on the structure stating that it is designed for children 5 years and older. MOTION: Commissioner Catrambone moved to approve the Miracle playground equipment design as presented in the Agenda Report. Commissioner Pflaumer seconded. The motion was carried 4 -0. Commissioner Hare was absent. 9.

She also requested to have discussion of an entry sign to the City be placed on December's agenda. Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes November 1, 1999 Page 4 Mary Lindley explained that since the topic of an entry sign falls under Art In Public Places, and with the vacancy of the Recreation Superintendent position, this project has been put on hold for a few months.
