SOUTHBOROUGH — The Community Preservation Committee took no funding positions on golf irrigation or trail footbridge applications and scheduled a Sept. 8 review. The golf request, about $1.09 million, now carries a 15 percent contingency of roughly $141,800, a point members debated at length. Bill Cundiff said "15% is a good number to carry" for below-grade work.
Staff reported $1,231,473 in available accounts plus at least $1 million in bonding capacity. Recreation Commission chair Kristen said the Fay Park project would likely skip the fall town meeting. Members approved the Aug. 3 minutes 6-0.
