Summary
Board members said they would purchase a $60,000 playground marked down to $32,000, fund part from this year's budget, part from next year's, and cover the remainder with other available monies; no formal vote transcript beyond the confirmation of the purchase plan was recorded in the segment.
Speaker 1 told the board they located a playground priced at $60,000 that was marked down to $32,000 and proposed ordering it now to replace an aging facility. 'So we're gonna order it,' Speaker 1 said, explaining the plan to pay some from this year's budget, some from next year, and to use available funds to cover the gap.
Members responded positively and described the purchase as serving both communities. Speaker 1 said the existing playground equipment is antiquated and in poor condition and that the town had done due diligence in identifying the purchase price and funding approach. No detailed procurement contract or vendor name was recorded in the segment, and the board did not record a formal roll‑call vote on the purchase during the provided portion of the transcript.
Next steps called for formalizing the purchase order and identifying exact funding line items at a subsequent meeting.
