Dear Mayor Norvell and Fort Bragg City Councilmembers;
I am delighted to see that renovations at our Wiggly Giggly playground are being considered tonight. I wholeheartedly support and urge you to proceed with the project. My suggestion is to use the Per Capita funds for equipment replacement at this time. The playground renovations were included in the Bainbridge Park Master Plan and public participation has already occurred during earlier meetings where the need was for renovations was acknowledged. The playground is wildly popular but it is in a sad state of repair. I can't imagine anyone seeing the conditions there would argue with spending a bit of the TOT funds to supplement costs exceeding the Per Capita Grant funds of +/- $178,000. Please move this through quickly to allow City staff to create a lively, convivial and safe place to play...before summertime arrives.
Sincerely,
Kathy Silva
Fort Bragg resident
