Board trims playground spending, holds elected officials’ pay in amended budget
Summary
As part of cost reductions, the board cut Playground Contractual spending by $10,000 and halved Playground Equipment spending; it also held Mayor and Trustees personal‑service lines at lower amounts as part of the adopted budget.
Mayor Leahy and board members identified playground spending and elected officials' personal‑service lines among the items reduced to streamline the budget. The board moved to reduce Playground Contractual (A.05.7140.400) from $65,000 to $55,000 and Playground Equipment (A.05.7140.200) from $10,000 to $5,000; both motions passed unanimously.
The board also left Mayor personal services at $22,002 and Board of Trustees personal services at $32,711 (the motions adjusted prior figures in the tentative budget to these amounts). Board members thanked residents for input and noted the budget remains tight but covers required daily operations.
