LIVERMORE FALLS — Selectmen will hold a special town meeting Tuesday to see if voters will approve using up to $8,000 from the recreation field reserve account to fix tennis and basketball courts and add to a new playground.
The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 6 at the town office.
The reserve account for the field has $26,851.38 in it, Town Manager Kristal Flagg said Thursday. The money came from a sale of a Housing Urban Development house the town bought under the guidance of former Town Manager Ruth Marden Cushman.
The money has never been touched, Flagg said.
The town has estimates to resurface the basketball court for $4,952, and to fix the cracks at the tennis courts for $1,992 at the field, she said.
There is also $600 needed to buy rubberized mulch for the young children’s playground that was installed Thursday, Flagg said. The equipment was donated anonymously.
The town also has a rough estimate of $250 to buy landscape timbers to put around the new playground, she said.
A little leftover money is expected, so it could pay for signs to address the age limit of children allowed on the playground.
