Parks staff told the committee that 60% of the playground plans had been submitted as of Sept. 26 and that the design package would be submitted for review on Oct. 20. Staff said a 100% review would be completed by Nov. 7 and that the town council is scheduled to award the equipment-and-construction contract on Nov. 17 through the OMNIA cooperative contract process. Equipment ordering and construction were projected to occur in January–February, with construction beginning after equipment arrival.

Committee members clarified that "60% submitted" referred to the design-document stage and that playground structure design and construction contracting would be separate processes. Regarding the bathroom, staff reported the council had approved replacing the playground restroom rather than a remodel; a contractor selection and schedule for the restroom work were not yet provided to the committee.

Committee members discussed the carriage house separately; one contractor indicated interest in bidding on both the playground bathroom and carriage-house work, but staff said those would be separate procurements. Members asked staff to bring additional schedule and vendor details to future meetings.
