Town to proceed with Splash Pad renovation after grant; council seeks flexible payment terms
Summary
Council voted to proceed with a Splash Pad renovation bid after a Jefferson Memorial Foundation grant award and asked staff to pursue Net-90 payment terms to cover remaining costs.
The Town Council voted unanimously on Jan. 6 to proceed with a renovation bid for the municipal Splash Pad following a grant award.
Mr. Wilson told the council the town had been awarded a grant from the Jefferson Memorial Foundation to help fund Splash Pad work. After discussion of how to finance the remaining cost, council members agreed to proceed with the renovation bid while attempting to negotiate Net-90 payment terms with the vendor to bridge the town’s cash flow gap.
The motion to proceed passed on a motion from Mrs. Walker and a second from Mrs. Arwood. Council did not specify the total project cost or the remaining amount after the grant; staff will return with bid results and funding details.
The move allows the town to advance procurement while seeking vendor payment terms that reduce the need for immediate local appropriations.
