Coventry stewardship committee readies purchase order for trail benches as spending deadlines loom
Summary
The Town of Coventry Protected Spaces Stewardship Committee approved its minutes and authorized a purchase request for four trail benches and three mini message boards after reviewing available maintenance funds and upcoming spending deadlines.
The Town of Coventry Protected Spaces Stewardship Committee on April 30 reviewed its financial position and authorized a purchase request to support trail maintenance and visitor messaging. Chair Eric Thomas reported $1,500 is available for grounds maintenance supplies for the 2026–27 fiscal year and that $1,000 in discretionary funds must be spent by June 30, 2026. He also said a LOCIP grant balance of $5,654 must be spent by 2027 when that grant expires.
Following that report, the committee directed that a purchase order request be prepared for four new trail benches and three mini message boards to be funded from available maintenance money. Eric Thomas was assigned to prepare the PO request.
The committee approved the minutes of its Jan. 27, 2026 meeting 'as is' at the start of the session; that approval is recorded in the minutes. No formal roll-call vote tally was recorded in the transcript.
Committee members discussed timing for spending the $1,000 that must be used by June 30 and the LOCIP funds that expire in 2027; no additional funding sources or detailed procurement timelines were specified. The minutes record these as next steps rather than finalized contracts.
The meeting adjourned at 9:21 p.m.; minutes were submitted by Secretary Keith Miller.
