Committee approves corrected transfer language to fund Deborah Sampson Park athletic field
Summary
A corrected motion will authorize transferring $238,600 from an unspent resurfacing project into the Deborah Sampson Park multi-purpose athletic field, increasing total project funding to about $1.368 million after higher-than-expected bids; both Finance and Capital Outlay committees previously approved the transfer.
The Finance Committee noted an omitted section in the printed warrant relating to Article 13 and confirmed a revised motion will authorize transferring $238,600 in unspent funds from a tennis/basketball court resurfacing project to the multi-purpose athletic field project at Deborah Sampson Park.
Committee members said bids for the Deborah Sampson project came in higher than anticipated, and the transfer is needed to close the funding gap. The revised motion will add a section (13M) authorizing use of the unspent $238,600 toward the previously approved $1.13 million for the athletic field, bringing total project funding to about $1.368 million.
Both the Finance Committee and the Capital Outlay Committee previously reviewed and approved the transfer; no additional approvals were recorded at this meeting. Committee discussion also touched on related capital topics including DPW building age, Veterans Park parking improvements and a suggestion for a future town vehicle oversight committee.
