Parks & Recreation committee records small budget increases for tennis and beach maintenance
Summary
Committee member Donna Christensen reported two modest adjustments to next year’s Parks & Recreation budget: tennis court maintenance rose from $3,000 to $4,300 and beach maintenance was increased to $500 to cover seasonal plumber costs.
Donna Christensen reported two small but specific changes to the Parks & Recreation budget for the coming year, noting an increase in the tennis court maintenance line from $3,000 to $4,300 and the addition of a $500 beach maintenance allocation to cover a seasonal plumber.
The adjustments were presented during the committee’s review of old business. Christensen said the tennis increase reflected a received quote and that the beach line—previously zero—was introduced "to include the cost of a plumber to turn the water on and off for the season." No formal vote to adopt the overall budget was recorded in the minutes; the changes were noted as edits to the committee’s budget request.
Committee members did not raise questions about the figures during the meeting, and the minutes show no separate motion tied specifically to these line-item changes. The committee’s other formal actions that evening included approval of prior minutes and motions related to the summer concert series.
The minutes do not list additional details such as the vendor providing the tennis quote, whether the $500 beach allocation is recurring, or how these changes affect the department’s total request to the town. Those items were not specified in the meeting record.
