At the February 12, 2020 City Commission meeting, a discussion to invest in playgrounds in Lummus Park, sponsored by Commissioner Arriola, was referred to the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee (FERC) (Exhibit A).

Lummus Park is located between Ocean Drive and the Atlantic Ocean between 5^th Street and 15^th Street. The park is popular with residents, tourists, and eventgoers, and features large passive areas, a playground for ages 2-12, public restrooms, paved paths, sand volleyball courts, a fitness area, and Muscle Beach South Beach (MBSB).

At the time of this memo, the Architecture and Engineering Services for the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the Lummus Park Master Plan Design has been advertised and will close on June 10^th. The RFQ includes a request to develop a site plan for additional playgrounds/kid zones, social spaces, and the replacement of the existing playground.

Discuss investing in playgrounds in Lummus Park.
