Board approves $51,618 Parkland Trust transfer to replace Monarch Drive playground
Summary
Parks Commissioner requested purchase of playground equipment from Liberty Parks & Playgrounds at state bid pricing; the Board approved transferring $51,618 from the Parkland Trust Fund.
The Town Board approved using $51,618 from the Parkland Trust Fund to buy new playground equipment for the Monarch Drive park. Parks and Recreation Commissioner Jim Presutti told the Board the park has been in place for about 40 years and that the project would place the new playground closer to recently installed pickleball courts while adding picnic and seating areas; the equipment will be purchased from Liberty Parks & Playgrounds at state bid pricing.
The motion to transfer funds was made by Councilman Anthony LoBiondo and seconded by Councilman Paul Ruggiero; the vote recorded was four in favor and one absent. The minutes note letters of local business support and mention that a nearby senior living facility could benefit from the upgrades.
