Southborough golf committee clears tree and fence plans, approves $30,000 appropriation for fencing
Summary
The committee confirmed approvals for new trees and fencing, noted bid price increases, and reported a motion 'made and passed' to appropriate $30,000 to cover fence costs; members asked DPW to proceed and agreed Bill Kundiff will coordinate with Mark Purple.
The Town of Southborough Golf Course Committee confirmed earlier approvals for a fence and a plan to plant eastern white pine trees along the third-hole fairway and discussed next procurement steps.
Committee members reported that the committee previously approved funds for fence and tree projects and that the town-level review and signoffs were complete. "When I sent this to her... they all asked questions. John answered them... everyone signed off on it," one participant said, describing the routing of materials to town staff.
Members noted increases in material and labor pricing since initial estimates. John said bids are time-limited—"all these prices... only last 3 months"—and that updated quotes will be needed. The committee reported that "motion was made and passed to appropriate $30,000 for Penton" to cover the fencing project (motion details and mover/second were not recorded in the transcript).
The committee asked Bill Kundiff to coordinate with DPW's Mark Purple to move the fencing and tree planting forward and to secure updated bids. Members also discussed documenting future capital projects and asked Bill to prepare a brief three-year or five-year summary of anticipated projects and costs; Bill said he could draft a summary in one day and would circulate it to the group.
Procedural business at the meeting also included a unanimous vote to elect Tony Shoner as chair and approval of the March 10 meeting minutes. The committee scheduled a follow-up meeting for the 9th and discussed making the second Tuesday of every month the standing meeting date.
