Good evening and welcome to the the April 9th Lakeville Park Commission meeting. Um Lake Cam is recording. Is there anybody else recording? Hearing none. Um announcements. Lakeville Day is May 17th.
Everybody's welcome. Um, tomorrow the electric vehicle parking spots in Ted Williams camp, they will be painted with lines, so they'll be unavailable for some portion of the day. And I don't know which portion that is. And our other more important announcement is we
have Nolan joining us. Jo, he has joined the park commission for the next 3 years. So, we're anxious and excited to have him with us. >> Any other announcements, Peter? >> None. >> Perfect. Okay. Our first order in of
business is to discuss and vote on park commission chair and vice chair. Anybody want to be chair? Andrew, you ready? >> I don't think I'm ready quite yet. >> Um, anybody want to be vice chair?
>> I'm happy to stay if you want me to. >> Well, does anybody else want it? Or >> if anybody else wants it, it's fine. Okay. >> I'll nominate Carrie to be vice chair. I'll second it. >> Any discussion? All in favor? >> I
>> I Perfect. Um, I'll do the chair. It's hard to do chair and not do chair and do chair and not do chair. So, I'll do couple years and then somebody else can do couple years of the rest of their career, whatever they so
choose. Um, okay. Anybody want to make a nomination? I'll make a motion to expose that as the chair for this year. >> Second. Any discussion? All in favor? >> I.
>> I. Perfect. Thanks, guys. Uh, next, review and vote to approve park commission meetings for March 7th, 2026. Did everybody have a chance to look over those meeting minutes? I did but had no
I did not find any errors or corrections that needed to be made. Did anybody find any? A motion to accept the meeting minutes. >> Motion to accept the meeting minutes for the last three meetings. March 7th. >> You want to do all three at once?
>> Oh, that's perfect. Nope. I didn't find a >> I think you should do each one. >> Each one. >> I didn't find an error in any of them. So >> on uh March >> second. >> Any discussion? All in favor?
>> I I >> Okay. March 12th. I'll make a motion to accept the minutes for March 12th. I'll second it. All any discussion? All in favor? I
>> I motion accepted. March 26th. >> I'll make a motion to accept the move March 26th. >> Second. >> Any discussion? All in favor? >> I I >> Perfect. All the minutes are accepted
and now we're all caught up. Perfect. Number six, discuss and vote on adult volleyball week. Okay. So, we have never had any problems with adult volleyball. The only problem has been the lights, but we took care of
that, knock on wood, last year. So, now they can turn their own lights on and off. Um, so the only thing that came to our attention today was a an email from women's soccer because they were short
if they were being charged the right amount because they only play for a certain amount of time and everybody else plays more and they pay the same and two seasons versus one season. So then I came across Lakeville Volleyball who our time window is four months, right? 16
weeks and they do 6 months, >> right? >> But they do 6 months 2 days. So that's why I had asked Peter to pull that for us because women's soccer only
plays one day. So fur. So I wasn't sure if you want to just stick the $26 fee that we always charge and just keep it at that or we adjust or I didn't know what everybody's pleasure was.
I think they get the shaft. I think both of these leagues get I mean it's definitely less time. So, I mean, I think with the extra months is fine and it kind of weighs >> makes up for it. >> Makes up for it >> where there been two more months in the
season last time. >> I didn't know what it >> I agree. And we don't really have any other groups that have asked to use the courts, right? >> Nope. We lost our >> which is different with softball and baseball.
>> True. Okay. Okay. Anybody have any questions or concerns with volleyball? Just we have their insurance that you need, Peter. >> Yes. >> Make a motion for us to accept the uh adult volleyball league court usage
application. >> I'll second it. Any further discussion? >> Any questions on it? Anything you want to talk about? No. >> Okay. Okay. All in favor? >> I welcome back volleyball.
>> Okay, we touched on this last time. Schools out ice cream. they're just in the very beginning stages and they wanted to know if it would be feasible or any way that they could consider having
a school bus here to sell their ice cream. So, this was the email chain that we went back and forth. Um, does this have the one to Andrew on here? >> So, I don't think so. >> No. So, I also reached out to the town
administrator and he said he didn't see any reason why they couldn't come. Um, water and electricity are available at the maintenance building where mixed martial arts is. We would just have to put it so that they can access it from
outside. I don't know whether that's a plug or a hard wire or a separate stake in the ground that they can get it from. I don't know. Did we talk about liquor? >> They have a flat fee. Yeah. >> Electric bill.
>> No. >> So, this email says Ted Williams or John Pond. I don't think softball would be happy at John Pond cuz they sell like popsicles and stuff, >> right? And I don't This was her first choice, Ted Williams camp.
>> Um there's not really enough. I don't think like here we have soccer, we have mixed martial arts, we have people >> volleyball, basketball, we have so many things here where there it's only so if we can do it here that's what they prefer. >> And I Yeah. I didn't see it as really
viable >> at John Pond Park. >> Plus there's no bathrooms. There's no there's no water. >> Yeah. >> So no electricity. So >> So it's going to stay there. >> Yes. >> To the chair. In other words, when they
park it there, it's there for the season. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, it's not going to be >> No, it's not coming out. They still are going to do their schools out drive by. So, that maybe they'll go more to John Park with that one. >> Yeah. >> But yeah.
So something to think about um something else to think about is the charge the fee because the select board has invited us to join them at their next meeting to talk about this >> to talk about disc golf to talk about
the Lon Pond Lodge um RFP that we have to do for next year cuz they only have this is April. They only have 11 months left on their contract with us. Um there's a bunch of things our fee
structure that we wanted for Clear Pond and our assistant director job. So when we get down to liaison, we'll decide if everybody's able to go or not able to go and that's fine. So this is more something that yes, we want to keep
exploring. No, we don't want to keep exploring. But I think we decided that doesn't hurt to explore any income we can get and any help we can give our community is a good thing.
Okay. Park Enterprise budget fund. Did anybody have any questions on this remaining budget? The first one, two, three, four, five, six items are for Clear Punch. So that's
only seasonal. I had a couple questions where it says other fields which is 436,000 other field rentals we're under $9,859. Does that include the spring league
fees? Have they been put in there yet? Some of them have uh we're still waiting on some others, but uh so they're not all in there yet. >> Softball, soccer.
>> I can't tell. >> Can't remember off top yet. >> I can tell. >> $9,000 worth. >> That's a good question because those are the last things. >> Okay. the uh
um so let's see women's soccer got the two blooper balls women's soccer volleyball horseshoes I think that's pretty much close to it at this point that may not add up to 9,000
>> that's who we have left >> yeah so the the ones positive page so far for Samurai Baseball, FLAA, uh, uh, Freetown Lakers Soccer, Free Freetown Lakeville Soccer Club, uh,
Men's Softball League, and Free Lake Youth Softball. >> Okay. Yes. So, we might not make that one. Um, right underneath that is the hall rental. Have we received this month's
check from them? >> Uh, yes. >> Okay. So, that one will be tight. >> Actually, wait a minute. I'm sorry. No, we have not received this month. >> Okay. So, we have April, May, and June.
>> So, we have we do have April, May, and June. You have 30,000 that should be coming in on that. >> Okay. So, >> so that's the hall rental. >> The hall rental is um that's not that that's the uh that's the room >> room fee.
>> Room fee. >> Yep. >> So, um >> but we have >> I think we'll probably make that up. >> Yeah. If we haven't got this months yet, we should make that the lodge fixed fee. We'll we'll make that too, right? >> Um field electric
We probably won't make field electric. >> Yeah, there's no more fuel electric coming in. >> So, yeah. >> Through the chair. Yep. I'm just wondering about this ice cream truck being parked. I'm sure that we've accounted for the electric
cost of that. >> Yeah. So right now, like we said, legal mixed martial arts has their fixed fee. >> I don't they don't pay. It just goes through the maintenance office. So we'll have to we can I'm sure we can put a meter on the back when we run it through
the wall. >> So that's great. >> And the same for the water >> if we want to do the water. I don't we'll have to discuss that because it's a at Clear Pond, it's a $75 fee to take it out every season and put it back in
every season. So, it's $150. Their water bill may not be $150. It may not be worth charging them to have to take the meter in and out. Maybe we will have to. Maybe we can put
it on the inside. I don't know. I don't know. Okay, next side. Um, we're hopeful for Clear Pond. We're not that far off at Clear Pond. So, we'll just have to We'll start at
the staff lifeguards. We have $2,000 left in that. But, you have to remember that only two weeks of opening at Clear Pond comes out of this budget because of July 1st, we switched to 2027. Director, we're already over. So,
that one. All right. Repairs and maintenance buildings and grounds. We have money left there. Repairs and maintenance equipment. A little money left there. Contracted services. That is mostly our dumpsters
>> and the porter potties. >> Oh, yeah. Our porter potties. You're right. It's mostly our portaotties dumpsters go in rubbish removal which we are going to be close on that. Yes. So two porta potties.
Did we put two porta potties at John Fon Park? >> No. One handicap. >> This is just one handicap. >> One handicapped and a wash station. >> And the same for soccer commissioner fields. >> Yes. And I noticed one
I'm not Did we We didn't put it out in front of our bathrooms, did we? I don't know where we are. >> Just those two we've done. >> Just the two >> cuz I noticed a handicapped porta potty and a handwashing station out in front of our bathroom. So, I don't know if
it's for soccer or for >> maybe they put it the wrong place. I'll check. >> Okay. Um, >> yeah, cuz come to think of it, I was I went for a walk today and I didn't notice it a porta potty and a hand washing station at Commissioner's Field,
so they probably did. Thank you, Peter. Okay, office supplies. Little bit left. Groundseping supplies. I emailed Frank this morning to see if we were doing a grub control or a spring fertilization.
and I haven't heard back because if we're not, then that's a good chunk. Equipment, $4,000. Park, events, and activities, $3,000. Food, service supplies, there's 2,300 left, but that
2,300 goes to stock the Clear Pond snack shack for when we open and juice and subscriptions. That's like the only thing we're over on, but that's because we have calendar whiz
and they went up on their subscription subscription fees this year, but not by much. Any questions on the budget so far this year? Uh just on the front, these ones that
are items that were like ARPA money or something, like do we have to be worried about the money expiring anytime soon? The skate park up top. >> Yeah, the water thing at Commissioner Field. >> If it was ARPA money, then yes,
ARPA money expires in December. Um skate park improvements were not oper um we had it last year in our budget our capital improvement new roof of parks offices has already been completed
also not our >> so how is the money left. We just haven't gotten an invoice yet. >> Didn't take it out of that account. >> Uh >> um we had last year we had enough money left in our account to pay for the
roofing before we went to town meeting. So we just paid for it out of what we had. Um, so the plan is to roll that $15 $15,000 for the roofs for last year that we
didn't spend into the $25,000 next year for I believe it was the playground. >> Mhm. >> So, we'll only take $10,000 out of our savings account, retained earnings to put in.
>> Okay. So that account will be closed and it will say um Commission's Field Playground. >> So the other two they're just non-expiring money. >> Yes. >> The skate park and the the water. >> Yes. It just sits in our sits in that
account because the skate park improvements had been there for years and somebody in the accounting office said, "Hey, you have skate park money." Okay. It was a capital expense that just got pushed aside, kicked the can down
the road and it was just sat there. So yeah, so if anybody wants to look into when we get down to liaison, if anybody wants to work on water and electric at Commissioner's Field or skate park improvements, just
jump out there. >> Okay. Well, we were Yeah, I'll talk to you now. budget update and clamp pond part director search. Okay, so as of this point I don't believe we have any applications for the director. Um today
or yesterday? It was probably today. I put on Facebook a um little blurb, you know, we're looking for come have some fun, spend your summer. Um, I sent it to Lakeville, Freetown, Middleboro, Berkeley, put it on their Facebook
helping town helping town website. I sent it to I messaged um the Free Lake swim save the pool people. I sent it to the BSC swim team. I sent it to the UMass Dartmouth and it's been in the
Namask. We put it in the Namask for 3 weeks cuz we had to pay for it. >> It wasn't much. and we have an advertising budget. So, that's what we did. Um, we'll see if that works, but think of ideas in case that doesn't work. We'll have to expand our search.
My husband said LinkedIn, so maybe we'll try that. Doesn't hurt to try that, but I'm not sure that'll work. >> Or Indeed. I don't know like what it costs to put things on. >> I think I heard that there was um I heard a radio commercial that one of them like Indeed or Monster or there's
another one. I think it was a free trial or something. So, we only need to do it once. So, >> um Okay. Preliminary discussion of fees and other plans for the 2026 Clear Pond Park season.
Okay. Of course, your first choice is always to keep the fees the same and not raise the fees. Um Lakeville residents went up to $120. Out of town residents went up to $210. I think um we shortened the hours last
year because we lost some money, but I think that that was fine. I don't think that hurt us at all. >> Anybody have a suggestion for I'd say we raised it last year. We probably keep it the same. >> Season passes.
>> I tend to agree with Andrew. I think we raised it a bit last year and we worked hard on coming up with the number so the economy is not great if we can leave it alone. >> Um other question season passes last year we had residents of a Kushnet
Berkeley Bridgewater Freetown Middle and Rochester. So our abing neighborhoods >> any thoughts about opening up for everybody to be able to purchase a season pass? I know it's a touchy subject. >> Thought it was a decent happy medium
last year to do that. You know, >> kind of see how give it another year, see how it goes. >> Do you I'm sure you don't know off the top of your head how many passes we sold. >> I I uh I don't know off the top of my head and I cannot log on here for some
reason. Um but I know that it wasn't significantly different from the previous year when we only had two towns. Yeah, I'm not sure we had a lot of >> there was but we did get we do get calls from other towns like again not a lot but we do get towns from calls from like
Taton and some other places. >> Um I I I think it might be wise to just expand it but but just put a limit on the number of uh out of town passes
that you sell. you on a first come, first- serve basis, >> right? Well, we had um last year, the year before, we had a 50 or 75 limit and we didn't even come close to touching that. >> So, question if I can. >> Mhm.
>> When you buy a season pass, does it comes with like a set of rules, right? Like if you violate >> Yeah. We went through this last year, like no alcohol, whatever, you can forgo your past. >> You're you're responsible for your guest's behavior. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. >> You know, pass can be revoked with, you
know, refunds. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. And we also changed it from a six family members, well, six family members per season. And then non-resident season passholders may escort up to four out of town residents at the individual daily
rate. So, they can only bring four >> friends. Good idea. Yeah, we sell a lot of in town passes, but not a lot of out of town passes. >> Yeah, I mean, I'm fine with what Peter
said. Try it for the year. We have the caveat that says if you're doing something >> not ideal, you can lose your pass. >> And I mean, the worry is it gets too overcrowded. But if we have that limit
of passes anyways, >> I mean, we also could have like like a 7030 split of like Lakeville versus >> um, you know, out of town passes as as
well just so even if there's a lot of people from out of town that we kind of maintain that that it's not a high number, >> right? So we can well we vote next week, next meeting, next meeting we can discuss how what
that limit is whether you want to do 50 passes or 75 passes or whatever you want and that would >> do that. All right. Individual day rates which out oftowners are not allowed. Lakeville residents only. We need to stick to that.
>> We get a lot of calls for that. Or was it for the season passes? >> Just the season passes. >> I think that's where we had the problems was open it up to everybody for the day rates. I think if somebody buys a season pass, they're going to be respectful of
the area. So, we had adults at $10, children at $5, and seniors, veterans, and children under two for free. I'm okay keeping it the same. Um, I have been approached by somebody who was like, even if you charge seniors,
veterans, and children under two a dollar, at least it's something. Um, I don't know how everybody feels about that. >> I think that's reasonable.
Yeah, because it it's been free for forever. >> I don't think most people are going to mind spending a dollar if they're a senior, >> you know, and and then they >> I guess that's fine. Yeah, because we're
going to our I mean, we're not going to do that today, but like our rates are going to go up for staff, right? Probably >> for stuff like food, stack shack. Well, that's all going to cost more cuz gas costs more, right? Like, but are our labor rates are those already? We already did that.
>> Um, we already did that, but the select board has to approve that. >> Oh, right. And we increased some of that. So, >> we Yeah. >> Do you have any idea how many I'm sorry. >> Nope. Go ahead. >> Any idea how many seniors come in? >> There's quite a few.
>> So, I mean, a dollar. I mean, it's like change. >> Yeah. Yeah, >> I mean >> the only that's the only comment I'll again uh I would make is that um it's another
bit of accounting and >> issues for the for the for the person at the gate >> which um >> well that's true because these are easy to change. It's always been difficult sort of training >> new staff >> whoever is at the gate.
>> PETA will give you $25 not to charge the seniors a dollar. >> He'll donate >> for the one who has to deal with it every day. >> Well, and as well if it's been kind of free for a while and it's not widely publicized that it's changed from free to a dollar if you're not in the habit
of carrying, you know, money around >> on on you, you know. Is it um >> and we only take cash so >> through the chair. Is it would it be legal or compliant with the laws to put a jar
there? And cuz you you'll see this at nature centers donation what and and that way you're you're leaving it up to the se the senior coming in whatever you can pay you know
without nicely worded you know um I've noticed that in a lot of conservation areas they'll it'll be you know >> yeah um I can I'll check into it but I I I don't think so because we're a town
entity so we can't ask for donations. >> Okay. So, so conservation areas can do that because they're state runners. >> Yes. They're probably 501c3. So, it's a charitable organization. So, they live on donations.
>> Darn. Because I think if we if we could do that, I think you'd get more than a dollar. I really do. I think >> a lot of times that happens. Well, that's like you need that friends of the we can't do it, but if there was a separate group in town that was friends
of the parks, right? They could do it. >> Isn't that how they do like the bricks at the library? >> Yes. >> Yeah. So, friends of the the Lakeville Disc Golf Association has it worded that they support um all the parks and park
projects. So, not just the disc golf. >> So, they can work that in. But they're still very new. Just something mull it over. Maybe ask around in the next couple weeks.
Um then swim lessons. I think we raised the swim lessons fairly recently. We really don't get that many swimmers. maybe 20, 25. So maybe we need to really publicize
this year swim lessons and birthday parties. When I looked at this, I thought maybe we raised the birthday party rate from $125 to like maybe for 25 people, $175.
Or if you want to take little steps, $150 >> through the chair. I think that I think I I think people are going to have a problem with that. People who have young children >> raising birthday party prices. >> Yeah, I do. >> Okay.
>> Being a cheap mom myself, I know I know that I would buck at 175. >> $175 to bring 25 people to the beach. >> I don't know if I'd bring 25. I mean I mean usually I never invited more than about
eight kids because it was just too much, >> right? >> 25 would would be overwhelming, >> right? As long as you're including like parents and stuff. Yeah. Right. So >> that's why they bring them to the beach. So >> two parents, a kid, you know. Yeah. Maybe >> again something to think about.
>> Have we gotten requests from people without passes for birthday parties and then we reject them? that we rejected. >> Well, because it says a available to season pass. Well, there's only I'm wondering if that's even needed >> um >> for the birthday parties. Couldn't that be something? Cuz then you're paying 120
for the >> season pass and then you like, oh, I want to do a birthday now. It's another 120. >> But with the pass, they're limited to how many people they can bring. >> So, you could only have a party with like what is it like four guests or something? >> Yeah. But if someone's not a season pass
holder, >> right, >> and wants to do a birthday party, would we really say that? >> Um, I don't know the answer to that because that goes right the director goes right to them in the past and I
don't believe we have that those books. So I mean can be discussed, can be changed, can be whatever. As long as I think it's limited to like up to 25 guests, I think
>> I think if you're having 25 guests, I mean, my kids are teenagers now, but if you're paying 150 for 25 people, like you're not going to find anything else around that is even in that ballpark. No. Like price-wise. But I'm also
a strong advocate for the economy is like terrible right now. I think we just leave everything alone. >> Okay, it's absolutely fine. So we will um revisit and vote on this next meeting.
So just keep it all in the back of your mind. Any questions or anything else you want anybody wants to discuss on clear pond rates and things before we move on? Okay. Preliminary discussion on fees and plans for the bond park. That's what we just
did. Update on Lakeville Day. Okay. So, I just got we're doing good for Lakeville Day. Um, I don't have the musicians booked because I'm waiting to hear what jazz band is available so they get first pick on the time and then I'll fill that in. Um, we have schools out
ice cream will be here. Judes and foods will be here and I'm going to grab one other food truck to be here. Um, I just got a call from the fire chief this morning. They have to pull food trucks have to pull permits from the fire department and from the board of health so that they make sure like any propane
or anything that they have inside their trucks is all taken care of. Sounded reasonable. Um it's a one permit per year so that I didn't think that I don't know how much the permit is but I didn't think once a year doesn't sound so bad. >> So they may have it pulled already
>> they might have it for something else. >> Yeah. to you. Um, whoever, do you have the contact information for that acoustic guitarist, >> the one that played at Lakeville Day last year? Yeah, I'm definitely going to contact him. >> Great. Yeah, he was really good. I
couldn't believe how good he was. Um, leazison updates. So, we'll start with the select board. Um, they would like they meet on the 21st, which is two Tuesdays. We meet on Thursday. They meet
on Tuesday of that same week. So, it's April 21st and they have that list of things. Um, they wanted us to do a joint meeting so they could discuss it with all of us. I didn't know who was available that day if that's something we needed to do. >> What time was that?
>> They start their meetings at 5:45, but we I'm sure we can be like I'm sure they have plenty other things they can do. >> I can attend. It's also a um >> What day of week is that? >> Tuesday. It's a Tuesday night. >> Okay.
>> We also have to go over our budget with them. So, Noel can make it. I can make it. >> Andrew can make it. >> I can make it. >> And Carrie's going to check. Yeah. >> All right. So, there's four of us. So, we have we have to do a joint meeting
anyway. All right. That's perfect. They'll be happy about that. Get us off their agenda. Um, what else do we have for liaison updates? Lon Pond Lodge, we know that they're not going to be participating with Lakeville Day. We know they're not going to be
participating with um, Music in the Pines. And now it's a catch 22, right? Cuz we're so happy that they have all this work and that they're booked up and, you know, it helps us, helps them. It's good. But
trunk or treat, they've booked a wedding for trunk or treat at 4 o'clock. So the ceremony's at four o'clock and trunk is usually three to 3:30 to 6. So we're going to not the reaction I had when she told me.
So >> I'm just thinking about the pictures. >> Yeah. Yeah. So well, they take their pictures out back and the ceremony's out back, so it shouldn't be so bad. But we're all going to be parking at the same time. We're all going to be like walking here, there, everywhere. So, we
need to think whether we want to move the date, if we want to push it back an hour, so we do it 4:30, so the ceremony will be over and they'll be inside, so it won't really matter. Um, if we want to change the venue, which I wasn't
overly crazy about, but if that's what everybody else wants to do, that's fine. what our options are for that. Again, it's trunk or treat, so it's the end of October. So, just see what you can come up with. Um, see what you prefer.
What else? Might be safer to just change the date. So, you don't have people. >> Yeah, that might be my first option as well. It's just that it's wedding season isn't
June, July, August anymore. Wedding season is the end of April to January. So, it's hard. >> And again, it's a catch 22 because we don't book ahead of time to save that
date because we want them to do well. We want them to succeed, but we also want our community events. So, something to think about. Okay, leazison updates. Anybody got any? >> Do you know how big a wedding it is? >> It's a pretty good size wedding.
>> It's a big one. >> Do they like Halloween? Do they like kids? >> Who doesn't like Halloween? Maybe not at their wedding day. Chocolate white dresses don't usually go well together. Who knows?
>> Who knows? You never know. They could love it. And maybe that's the answer to the conundrum. Book it now for next year. So when they book the wedding, this is what's going on in the park. You can welcome to still
have your wedding. >> Just know this is what's going on in the park. >> And the same thing for Lakeville Day and everything else we got going on. Just so you know. love to have you for your wedding but >> yeah this is happening
>> y we are a public park this is going on okay any other leaison updates >> I believe the um I think the engineering is pretty much paid it's my understanding >> over zenith >> yeah for zenith and so I think that's
all up to up to date >> up to date that's my understanding >> so it's over so we're done um I don't think a final draft has been turned in with our changes that we had asked him to make. Okay. >> So, I don't think that's in yet, but that's fine as long as he's been paid for,
>> I believe. So, I believe I'm not misspeaking. I believe it that's in the uh >> home in the mail. >> I I think that I think we're all good with that. >> Perfect. Good. Thank you. >> Okay. So, if we have no leaison updates,
who wants to pick their liaison ships? >> Sorry, one leazison thing. So, softball sent an email. I think you saw I think they sent an email. So, they were clearing out the shed and the container and they were
trying to make room for the >> Yes, the grooming rake. >> The bunker rake. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Yes. I talked to Josh today and I didn't email them back, but I was going to have to. um whenever Monday through Friday
whenever during Josh's working hours if somebody can be there to put it in the shed. Y >> um >> we'll just let him know. He'll go get the trailer if it's available, bring out the bunker rake, put it in the thing, and then we'll have to decide whether >> you guys are going to use the bunker
rake or Josh is just going to go over a couple times a week and do the bunker rake. But it >> Yeah, I don't think I I thought when we talked about that previously there was like an insurance issue or something the town had >> about it. >> I didn't think so. But I'll double check. I thought

So yeah, that is He said he has no problem going over once or twice a week as long as it's over there to do
it. >> Perfect. That would be great. >> He just needs the key to the ship. >> It's a padlock thing that has the key in it. So then just give him the code. >> Okay, not a problem. I will email Len. >> Okay, great. Okay, I'll if no one has

that you'd like to take? Freelick soccer club. >> Okay. So, you'll stick with soccer. >> Okay. Um Nolan, you how do you feel about baseball? >> Good for me. >> Okay, so Nolan can take FLAA and then
Samurai baseball on the other side. And then we just have Lakeville men's softball. >> Okay, okay. So basically we're just reassigning Scott. >> Um Andrew has softball then softball
>> and No soccer they play here, right? >> Mhm. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. No one has baseball. Okay. And then we have two committees.
There's the open space committee and the I'm having a brain melt. EPC >> CPC. >> When I spoke with um Sue about it, her understanding is it's July
that I would continue as lead until July. >> Maybe we voted on it in May. So I thought it might have been the end of May. >> Do you want to speak with her and hammer that out? Well, I'll find out. Yeah.
Okay. So, that's something to think about. >> That's easy for me. >> I don't know. I don't know if someone else is interested in doing that. >> Yeah. So, we'll see. >> Yeah.
Okay. New business. So this week we got a message from somebody who worked at Clear Pond who didn't felt that they did not receive the correct pay for the position that
they were put in. Um mixed feelings like if I was the parent I would be very upset as well cuz you know that's what parents do. That's what parents do. Um
yeah, so I didn't know what everybody's wish was to just pay them the difference, which if you look in the um lifeguard thing, we have that money and then
correct the issue going forward so it doesn't happen again. um or to say we're really sorry this happened but
lesson learned if what I read cuz in reading your email about that it sounds like like it was an error. Am I correct? I don't know if I would call it an error as a poor judgment decision.
Maybe an error. >> Well, like a math a math error. Someone someone made an error in So, can you clarify that for me? >> Um, somebody made an error in staffing like they were hired as a lifeguard but put in the snack shack at a different
rate. >> A lower rate. >> A lower rate. Oh, so it wasn't a mathematical error. >> Why would that happen? >> Um, that's what the director chose to
do. >> Oh, lifeguard. >> Yes, there. Yeah, they actually worked somewhere else as a lifeguard and came over to lifeguard with us >> and then were put in the snack shack.
>> Yes. Oh dear. >> Um, I have two questions. >> Okay. So, one, when we hire people, like, is there any type of paperwork that's like they applied to be a lifeguard, right?
>> Yes. So, >> and then what do they get in return? >> She has a signed contract >> that says she was a lifeguard. >> A lifeguard. >> Okay. Now, I do know for a fact because I was there when he said, "Lifeguards are going to have to take turns if we
need you in the snack shack." I do not know if any paperwork to that effect was signed. >> So, that's my second question. >> It affect this person had the most ended up with more snack shack hours than they
did lifeguard hours. And I know for a fact that did not happen to any other lifeguards. >> So that was my second question. So there's no other lifeguard that is in this situation. >> Maybe a couple hours, not 60 hours.
I would encourage you through the chair. I would encourage you to to to we that we that we make this go away, that we make it right, pay them because you don't you don't know, you know, if the parents are going to feel latgious because if they're if they're feeling
really strongly about it, we could end up with a lawsuit. >> Yes. Well, they mentioned going to the >> So, >> so my Yeah, my personal opinion, >> make it right. make it right, but also even if it's a couple hours here or
there for just across the board, make it right for everybody that it happened to. >> And then we need to make sure it doesn't happen going forward, >> right? >> She said, were they told they were going to get a small like a cheaper rate to >> I don't know the answer to that.
>> I guess we don't. Yeah. >> After they got their first paycheck, they would know, right? So, okay. I would make a motion that we pay it.
>> Um, yeah. Okay. >> Okay. Any other new business? >> So, is that >> Are we voting on that? >> Is there >> If you want to wait, that's fine, too. >> Yeah, it's not on there.
>> Oh, great. Um, >> so we'll make it official. We're waiting >> things that are I think that are urgent that come up >> the urgency and then you'll just add it to the agenda. We can just I can just
contact them and we can vote on it next time. >> It's fine. Um, I did have something else. I got them all. We talked about the select board meeting. We talked about
that. Any other new business? I'm getting excited for Lakeville Day. Some of my plans are already starting to grow out. I'm like, you'll go to Lakeville Day. You'll go to Lakeville Day. Anything else? Nothing. Nobody.
