MORAN — Moran council members agreed to add playground equipment to the city park when they met Monday evening, but delayed signing an agreement with LaHarpe Communications for use of its water tower for an Internet relay antenna.

Council members mulled buying a swing set and another piece for the playground on which children could climb, but backed off to just the swing set when City Clerk Lori Evans pointed out the Park Department fund had $9,200 remaining in its budget. It was noted that mowing and other maintenance would require part of what was available.

Councilman Jim Mueller said the two pieces of equipment would cost more than $7,000 and when ground cover, a necessity under rules governing public playground safety, entered the mix, cost likely would top $9,000.
