Selectmen approve placement locations for two donated benches at town recreation areas
Summary
Town Administrator Brenda Pearl presented two donated benches; the board discussed placement at the town office/rec field gazebo and approved placement of a granite memorial bench behind the Majors Field backstop at Landry Field.
Town Administrator Brenda Pearl reported two bench donations to the Board of Selectmen and discussed likely placement locations at Loudon recreation facilities.
Pearl said donor Linda Kane won a concrete-and-wood bench and asked whether the town preferred the bench be placed at the town office area or at a recreation field (suggestions included near the gazebo and on the Wreck Field pavement). The board discussed sight lines, mowing and usage and asked Pearl to coordinate with the donor on a final placement; no formal vote was recorded.
Pearl also said Karen Landy's family offered a five-foot granite bench in memory of a recently deceased family member and proposed placing it behind the backstop at Majors Field (part of Landry Field). The board indicated that placement behind the Majors Field backstop was acceptable.
Why it matters: Bench donations add seating near recreation areas and require decisions about placement and municipal maintenance but do not create budgetary obligations beyond routine groundskeeping.
Ending: Pearl said she would contact donors to finalize locations and arrange delivery and installation.
There were no formal votes recorded beyond staff direction to coordinate placement.
