LIVERMORE FALLS — Voters at a special town meeting Tuesday approved the use of up to $8,000 for repairs and renovations to the recreation field.
A low turnout of voters approved spending the funds from the recreation field reserve account to fix tennis and basketball courts and add to a new playground, Town Manager Kristal Flagg said Wednesday.
“We weren’t spending funds we didn’t have,” she said. The reserve account for the field has $26,851.38 in it. It’s been there 20 years and has never been touched.
The town has an estimate to resurface the basketball court of $4,952, and to fix the cracks at the tennis courts at $1,992. The approved amount also includes $600 needed to buy rubberized mulch for the recently installed children’s playground. The equipment was donated anonymously.
The town also has a rough estimate of $250 to buy landscaping timbers to put around the playground. Any leftover funds could be used for signs at the playground.
