Pacific parks director: working with Auburn Lion Club and Kaboom on playground equipment grant

Parks & Recreation Director Kevin Caviezel reported at the Feb. 23 workshop that the department is working with the Auburn Lion Club to pursue playground equipment through a grant with Kaboom.

The minutes record the collaboration but do not provide details on the grant amount, project timeline, procurement steps, or whether the grant requires a city match. No motions or formal council direction on the playground work were recorded in the workshop minutes.

City staff on hand during the workshop included Caviezel and City Administrator George Martinez. The minutes do not show public comment or objections related to the playground grant during this workshop.

If the project proceeds, further details such as a grant agreement, vendor selection, and any required local funding will likely appear on a future council agenda.
