Ratifies $50,361 to Moka Engineering for playground upgrades at MLK Jr. Child Development Center

Moka Engineering Construction will modernize the playground at the Martin Luther King Jr. Child Development Center, including site preparation, demolishing the nature exploration area, and adding trees and irrigation. Because this is a ratification, the board is approving an agreement after the fact; work was set to start July 1 and end by August 6, 2026, before this meeting.
