Council authorizes park and public-works repairs, including playground bark and green-waste road work
Summary
Huntsville Town Council approved up to $4,000 for playground bark, up to $20,000 to improve the green waste facility road, and up to $10,000 to repair the park septic drain field; the council reviewed vendor estimates for the playground chips that ranged about $3,5002 to $3,828.15.
Council authorized a series of small capital expenditures on April 16 to maintain town parks and public-works infrastructure. The council voted to approve up to $4,000 to purchase 60 cubic yards of playground chip for Huntsville Park (vendor estimates in the packet ranged from $3,500.00 to $3,828.15), authorized up to $20,000 for grading or repairs to the green waste facility road, and approved up to $10,000 to repair a collapsed septic drain field at the park.
Town staff and council members discussed bidder options and timing for the road work; for the drain field, staff said the previous corrugated plastic piping had failed under heavy truck use and the town plans a more durable piping system next time. The approvals were all by roll call vote of members present (3-0).
