Chairman Jeff Anderson said the board approved reallocating remaining ARPA funds to complete a Young Park playground project and awarded equipment and installation contracts during the Nov. 12 meeting.
The board voted to correct a prior calculation error by adding $500 to the ARPA allocation for the park, bringing the total ARPA commitment for the project to $45,292, Trustee George Blessing said after making the motion. Trustee Stan Flak seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.
