Council authorizes up to $200,000 for new scoreboard and PA at Burrillville High School
Summary
The Burrillville Town Council voted to authorize up to $200,000 from the major capital fund to buy an electronic scoreboard and public-address system for Burrillville High School, with the expense to be placed in the capital program and reimbursed from the FY2027 capital improvement program.
The Burrillville Town Council on Feb. 66 authorized up to $200,000 to purchase an electronic scoreboard and public-address (PA) system for Burrillville High School’s sports complex.
A council member moved to "authorize the amount not to exceed $200,000 to be taken from the major capital fund number 3820 for the purchase of electronic scoreboard and public address system for the Burrillville High School Sports Complex from NEBCO,” and the motion was seconded and approved by the council.
Council members discussed options and confirmed the purchase would be the lower-cost scoreboard and PA package rather than a full video scoreboard. One member noted the town will include the item in the capital program and later reimburse the major capital fund from the FY2027 capital improvement program. As the council discussed, "If you add the scoreboard and . . . the things you need to add to the scoreboard, it's a little less than $200,000," and the motion was framed as an amount not to exceed that figure.
The council recorded the vote in favor and moved on to the next agenda item. No further project schedule or vendor contract details were provided at the meeting; council members said staff will handle capital-budget placement and reimbursement timing.
The council’s action authorizes procuring the scoreboard and PA system and obligates staff to place the expense into the capital program for later reimbursement.
