Items in this category should be considered Trophy Club’s most valued strengths. Lower Priority, Higher Satisfaction This quadrant represents services that residents are satisfied with but are believed to be lower priorities. While items in this quadrant can be considered successes with certain niche groups, for most, they are not the most important issues. Lower Priority, Lower Satisfaction Items in this category are low-priority items for residents and so lower performance here is not a critical issue for them. Some of these items may be raised by a vocal minority of residents but, for the most part, focusing a lot of attention on them will have a minimal impact on improving overall attitudes. Higher Priority, Lower Satisfaction Items falling into this category should be viewed as priorities for improvement. These are the items that residents feel are high priorities and that Trophy Club could be doing better with.

While items in this quadrant can be considered successes with certain niche groups, for most, they are not the most important issues. Lower Priority, Lower Satisfaction Items in this category are low-priority items for residents and so lower performance here is not a critical issue for them. Some of these items may be raised by a vocal minority of residents but, for the most part, focusing a lot of attention on them will have a minimal impact on improving overall attitudes.

Strategic Link: Improve the aesthetic and recreational value of the Town Background and Explanation: The current playground located at Independence Park West was installed in 2003. Most of the playground components are no longer manufactured and poses a challenge if repairs are needed.

The playground wood chips are applied annually; the potential cost to apply new wood chips at Independence Park West is approximately $2000 - $2500 annually. Financial Considerations: Staff obtained two estimates from vendors and will be requesting to utilize Parkland Dedication Funds for the purchase of the new playground. There is approximately $550,000 available in Parkland Dedication Funds. Gametime – Total Recreation Products - $176,277.83 (potential grant available of approximately $42,000) Playground Solutions of Texas - $149, 951.12 Page 2 of 2 Legal Review: N/A Board/Commission/ or Committee Recommendation: N/A Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends replacing the playground at Independence Park West with one of the options presented to the Parks and Recreation Board.
