To see if the School District will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $115, 000 for resurfacing the track ($90,000) and tennis courts ($25,000) The track was installed in 2010 and it is recommended that it be resurfaced and relined every 8 years to maintain the integrity of the surface. The tennis court was last resurfaced in 2012 and is in need of repair and resurfacing, which is recommended every 7 years. This will be a non-lapsing appropriation per RSA 32:7 VI and will not lapse until the project is complete or June 30, 2021, whichever is earlier. (Majority vote required.)
What it means: The Winnacunnet track and tennis courts have exceeded the recommended years of use, per the manufacturer’s specifications. Further, the facilities department has inspected both surfaces, and determined that resurfacing is necessary.
Those in favor say: We need to perform regular maintenance in order to protect the investment in the School District’s assets. Note: It is recommended that both surfaces be resurfaced every eight (8) years going forward.
Those against say: No one spoke against this Article at Deliberative Session.
