The play equipment at Jaycee Park is scheduled for replacement in 2013. It is expected that the old
equipment will be removed during late September or early October. The new equipment should be
installed sometime in late October. The request for proposals for new equipment were accepted in late
August and recently reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council.
Staff is proposing to have Kids Around the World remove and recycle /salvage the play equipment from
Jaycee Park. Staff does not recommend reusing the equipment in its current condition. The Kids Around
the World group raises funds to refurbish used equipment and then installs it in locations that are in need
of play equipment. The Kids Around the World organization recycled the old equipment form the Family
Resource Center and has worked with the City of Woodbury and the City of Plymouth on removing and
refurbishing their old, unwanted play equipment.
A release and indemnification agreement is attached and has been reviewed by the City Attorney. The
agreement identifies that the equipment does not include any expressed or implied warranties, including
performance and safety standards, because of its condition. It also states that the Kids Around the World
organization agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City of Rosemount and its officers, agents,
and employees from any and all claims resulting from injuries, damages and losses arising from and related
to the use of the salvaged playground equipment. Staff is recommending the City Council approve the
declaration and disposal of surplus property and the Release and Indemnification Agreement.
