RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider a resolution for the donation of play equipment to Grapevine's
sister city, Parras de la Fuente, Coahuila, Mexico. Please see the attached resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Funds were approved in the FY 2011-2012 budget to replace the play equipment at the
campus of Faith Christian School and the purchase of the new play equipment was
approved by the City Council at the November 15th meeting.
The Council approved a resolution at the November 4, 2008 meeting to donate play
equipment from the Oak Grove Soccer Complex to Parras and that play equipment has
been installed by members of the Parras Rotary Club. The citizens of Parras are
grateful for their new play equipment.
If the Council approves the resolution to donate the used play equipment from the
campus of Faith Christian School to Parras, officials from Parras have agreed to come
to Grapevine to pick up the equipment to transport to Parras.
Play equipment that is removed from the parks is typically cut up and put in the scrap
metal bin for recycling. Play equipment is replaced approximately every 12 to 15 years.
