Selectboard approves immediate playground safety purchases, pursues PACIF grant
Summary
The Selectboard voted to buy about $600 of playground mulch for the Town Office swings and to pursue a PACIF grant (deadline end of April 2025) that could reimburse up to $375; further purchases (safety mats) and a larger Veterans Park project may be bid separately.
The Recreation Department presented a PACIF grant opportunity with a deadline at the end of April and potential reimbursement up to $375. The Selectboard approved purchasing approximately $600 of playground chips (mulch) to install under swings at the Town Office now, with the expectation the cost will be offset if the PACIF grant is awarded; members agreed to later purchase safety mats to meet inspection recommendations.
Minutes note that the work responds to a playground compliance inspection from April 2024. The board discussed putting the larger Veterans Park project out to bid because of its scale and deferred that separate procurement until specifications and budgets are developed.
