Coppell City Council meets to consider big bucks playground expenditure

by PegNews wire

There's just shy of $200K budgeted for a new playground at Allen Road Park - and it's about to be spent.

When Coppell City Councilfolk call their regular session to order on Tuesday, March 24 at 7:00 p.m. (in City Hall), they'll take up the matter of whether to spend the budgeted $199,983.85 on the installation of a new playground at Allen Road Park. If approved, the project will be awarded to Southwest Parks and Playgrounds.

Also on the agenda is a pair of proclamations, the first of which would designate April 2009 as Cancer Awareness Month, and the second of which would designate April 4, 2009 as Arbor Day.
