Why keep repeating the same nonsense. The $150,000 is phase one of the $750,000 project. Terry said so. Thompson said so. All that is needed, instead of $150,000, is to do needed maintenance on the playground structure for $10,000 or less. All other work is solely in preparation for doing the Manklin Master plan, and at this point the only price we have on that plan is $750,000.

You are correct in that the board did not vote to spend $750,000 but it did vote to spend $150,000, and of that about $140,000 is a total waste of money if the $750,000 project is not fully implemented at some later date.

So, YES the board, or at last Tom Terry, is obviously thinking about spending $750,000 total, or whatever it costs to implement his master plan. 

You don't spend money to build a foundation for a house you never intend to build.

Terry's motion is the foundation for the master plan.
