Council refers school field agreement changes and considers turf change order
Summary
The council voted to send amendments to the field access and maintenance agreement with the Burrill School Department to the school committee and discussed a FieldTurf change order for the high school reconstruction project tied to litigation delays (additional $21,605 cited); the council moved the change order subject to administrative validation of substantiation and numbers.
The Burrillville Town Council referred proposed amendments to the field access and maintenance agreement for the athletic complex at 425 Eastaff to the Burrill School Committee and discussed a related change order on the high school field reconstruction.
Town administration described the amendment as maintaining the same parcel and management structure but updating legal descriptions. Council moved to send the item to the school committee for review; the motion, made by Mr. Anderson and seconded by the vice president, passed by voice vote.
Separately, the council took up a change order from FieldTurf tied to reconstruction delays and court‑related expenses. A council member moved that the change order be moved subject to administration validating the substantiation and numbers; the motion was seconded and discussed. The chair noted the additional cost of $21,605 was related to court delays and related legal fees arising from opposition to the project.
Next steps: The field access amendments will proceed to the school committee for action, and the administration will validate the FieldTurf change‑order documentation before further council action.
