County moves to apply for Lawson's Lake playground grant
Summary
Albany County staff sought and the Legislature approved applying for a state playground grant to fund new equipment at the upper-camp area of Lawson's Lake, including swings, slides, monkey bars and musical play elements; the application requires liability coverage as a grant condition.
Kate Pauley, grants coordinator in the county’s management and budget division, asked legislators to approve an application for a state playground grant to fund improvements at the upper-camp area of Lawson’s Lake. "We're looking at a company that does all-natural equipment," Pauley said, describing planned elements including swings, slides, monkey bars and small musical play pieces.
Members asked whether the new equipment would sit on the lake side or the opposite shore and raised routine questions about liability requirements tied to the grant. Pauley confirmed that liability coverage is a requirement of the grant application.
After brief discussion, the Legislature approved a motion to apply. The motion carried unanimously; members who moved or seconded the motion were recorded in the transcript as Mister Crowley (mover) and Sirlane (second).
