The Town of Lakeville Park Commission voted to ask the municipal capital expenditures committee to fund three sides of commercial fencing at Clearpond Park for $110,000, to be paid from free cash.

Commissioners discussed two quotes: one galvanized and one black finish. Melissa and Peter recommended choosing the black option for budgetary planning and using any savings to extend the fence slightly into the woods to limit easement around the pond. Commissioners also discussed gates, additional double-wide gates for equipment access, and the need for signage.

The motion — to ask the capital committee to use free cash for Clearpond Park fencing for three sides for $110,000 — was moved and seconded; the commission voted aye and the motion passed.

Commissioners said the town’s capital committee had previously been receptive to Clearpond Park projects and staff will plan for potential inflation or timing differences, adding roughly 10% to the quoted cost for budgeting purposes if necessary. The commission also agreed to pursue prevailing-wage confirmation on the contractor quote and to adjust scope if needed for equipment access and future site work.
