Board approves turf installation at Altamont playground to replace PIP surface
Summary
Lammersville board approved a contract with KYA Services LLC to install synthetic turf over existing pour‑in‑place fall surfacing at Altamont kindergarten and primary playgrounds to improve safety; trustees discussed material tradeoffs but approved the contract.
The board approved a contract with KYA Services LLC to install synthetic turf over existing PIP (pour‑in‑place) surfacing at Altamont School's kindergarten and primary playgrounds. Director LeGrand described the work as a safety improvement to the fall zone and characterized the turf option as a less expensive but equally safe alternative to the rubberized material previously used.
Trustees discussed whether turf or rubberized surfacing is preferable and whether future repairs should use turf; staff said construction contracts in progress (e.g., Pambo site) may still deliver a synthetic rubber surface as part of the original construction package. Trustee Modi moved to approve the KYA contract and the motion carried with five ayes.
