During the first fiscal year, MRC completed two large projects, including major renovations to a playground at Gallup Park and replacement of the playground at Burr Oak Park.

There are two projects that Parks and Recreation aims to complete prior fiscal year 2017 in order to facilitate adjacent construction projects, including relocation of an existing playground at Gallup Park prior to major pathway work funded through a TAP grant, and repairs to the playground area at Woodbury Park prior to tennis court repair work.
In order to complete these two projects, staff is requesting an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement for an amount not to exceed $50,000 during FY2016, bringing the FY2016 total contract amount to $200,000.00 The City is not obligated to expend the funds if the projects are not implemented for any reason. Funding is available in the FY2016 approved Parks Maintenance and Capital Improvements Millage budget and from developer contributions earmarked for Woodbury Park.
