Village to use $7,000 gift from Lindsay Lorigo toward toddler playground equipment
Summary
The board accepted a $7,000 donation intended for playground upgrades and agreed to use the funds toward toddler-sized playground equipment; staff will select specific pieces during the coming weeks and complete donor paperwork.
Village trustees agreed at their May 5 meeting to accept a $7,000 donation from Lindsay Lorigo and to direct staff to use the funds toward toddler playground equipment at Hamlin Park.
Maureen (treasurer) and DPW chief Jeff Stoll told the board the amount was a good fit for smaller playground purchases and that seasonal sales make May a good time to act. "We kinda thought that that was a good place to start," Maureen said, noting the village had an internal list of priorities and playground replacement needs.
The board asked staff to confirm any donor stipulations and to prepare paperwork; trustees also discussed forming a small selection group and bringing specific equipment proposals back to the board in the next two weeks so the donor’s office can complete paperwork. Park committee members said a toddler‑sized play option had been a frequent public request.
Ending: Staff will proceed with the donor paperwork and return with equipment proposals for board review and vendor selection.
