Council Member Brian Smith told the council that a preliminary recreation planning grant was not approved, and said the town remains eligible to apply in January for equipment, courts, or other improvements. He described damage to a basketball backboard that may be vandalism and recommended security cameras to monitor the park to help identify littering and hold people accountable.
Administration provided a quote for five security cameras to cover town buildings and the park, including memory storage, at a total price of $2,998.40. Sprinkler work is ongoing at the park and the grass is beginning to recover. No procurement vote on the camera system was recorded at the July 7 meeting.
