come up please and if you can kindly sign the the log there please yes we can [Applause] this is off sorry okay so we have Lisa and Carrie correct all right I'm Lisa this is
Carrie how are you you um so and so I know that um you weren't be able to go through LOM pond Lodge anymore for this I know in the past you have because you Ed their their facilities you use their bathroom and
then did did you use the fire pit no we've never used a fire pit okay so we started in 200 we been coming for a long it's a long time a long time s yes 2007 we started and we were going through the town and then when one of
the management companies took over we've been going through the Lodge yeah that's um and it's been fine and then this year um in February I got an email from
Tim malanowski saying that we couldn't have our weekend this year because it was too profitable during wedding season we're always the Second Sunday in September and we haven't used the interior of the lodge in at least a decade we've just
been using the bathrooms by the football fields and then a year or two ago I started working with Heather at LOM Pon Lodge and she left she left it so that we could get inside and use the bathrooms in there
and that was fine we had to clean up our own trash and all that stuff years prior to that we had somebody from the town would I think her name was Linda would ride around on a golf cart and she would pick up trashes things went on during the day and stuff like that and then um but we don't have to be inside the Lodge
at all the only thing that we were going inside for was to use the bathrooms and then I got this email saying that we couldn't use it anymore and I was like well wait a minute the Park's not closed right so I reached out to the
park Commission because of that and then um because you've never really gone through us before have you in the in the very very beginning but once a management company took over we haven't been going through the park anymore okay um and then this morning I got an email
well today I got an email about 1:00 um also from Tim saying that um he was the owner of lomon Lodge and per the town's request we will honor your event this year but we this will be our last year as we need weekends to host weddings so number one he's not the
owner I didn't think so um so he just sent you that it's okay yeah for this year for this year and use the bathrooms and everything well I'm sure it is if if he's given I mean either way there are bathrooms
right there you yeah there's bathrooms at the end of the maintenance shed so there's still bathrooms available right um so I guess and then from after this year on I guess I we need to know do we need to be looking for another
site can we still use the outdoors there is there a fee if we are there in the outdoors if how much it is who weay we well the purpose of tonight's meeting was to talk about you using the site because you're going through us
obviously I mean you can do that anytime I mean there whether you can rent parts of the park whenever you want as long as there's not other things going on right and it's not on Lon Pond Lodge's property footprint which which
you're not using well it's the it's the right it's the building and then the lawn in the front around them to the to gazebo okay okay you don't do that you go across the street correct you over kind of by the playground going that way yes around the Grove yes yeah around the
Grove so um yeah I mean so none of us saw a problem of you renting the park for that I think our only concern is if you did have that would there be a better place to do it
weren't we talking about maybe moving it to behind the yeah I thought you were going to reach out and like have kind of like a walk through so they could see the alternate location you tell us where you want us to be we're very familiar with the park I I walk the Fitness trail with my dog
all the time so I'm pretty familiar with the park well I I think closer to the bathrooms maybe we well I was thinking that we push us push us further back towards the it's a Sunday so the main there's no um
LTI that side of that grassy area closer to the maintenance building you know yep so you can park in the maintenance parking lot and and you be that much closer to the bathrooms it' be closer it's a same used bathrooms for the maintenance bathroom or is that with the it's the ones on the other side of the
building yeah that's on that we were using you probably by the dojo yeah okay so yes we've we typically use that one I mean for this year you can stay where you are because he's saying you can use it or it's not affecting him or you can come through us and we just move you
over there away from them yeah yeah that's what I would do I we're we're fine with that um what were they charging you for a fee in the past um I think it's 300 sounds about right cuz the $200
deposit stays there or has stayed there so if they chars you 300 to use the bathrooms what to use the facility the reserve the no but they didn't use the grass you're not on the property no but they're on they're on the other side of the road right right and they go all the
way up and down down to the the the the ball pit the the Bachi ball pit usually yeah well we were just looking because prior to that we were whatever the park used to charge us is what they were charging
us so it was like well we were renting the park for right you wereing the park right right yeah that's what it was and they said well we'll leave the door open and you can use the bathrooms we're like okay like I don't care if we pay you or if we pay them because I figure they pay
you some of it oh see I thought that I thought that they paid to the town no so that's why you it's better you come through us or anything like that anyway because what's going to have to happen is you're going to have to sign a contract and you know things keep it
simple but the same thing and but I I think the best thing would be to do would move you to the other side of that field you know yeah um that way you closer to the bathrooms by the flag pole that's normally where you are that's nor other side of the field closer to the maintenance building here's the
maintenance building with the dojo the little baseball field there there is a parking lot here and then over here is all the fields okay playground runs this way uhhuh and then we're typically down here so we're just going to yeah no big
deal if we start where we used to end and go the other and go that closer to the to the field okay that's all gotcha got kids there they still have access to this parking lot on the side cuz that's where most of our people park because it's the parking on the side near the Hors pits in the volleyball court and
then the one on the other side near um the karate studio okay and there's a pathway on the far side by the baseball field there a pathway through the gates that comes right out on that side by the road no right it comes between the playground and the ball baseball field
so it comes right up that maintenance side okay oh gotcha plenty of room Scott says it's a lot easier yep yeah that's the only thing that we would is there a way of getting electricity like from that like we would just have electricity back right cuz it was electricity on the
poles um um how much electricity are we talking well we we do music sweet the DJ has a bands well I mean my suggestion would be to bring him over near the the bot pits okay which is where you can get
the electricity from there's a pole right there okay okay um you know you may if you've got electricity out further you may have to run some extension cords yeah he's got some you know but that would be the I don't think that pole has electricity anymore that's the lights yeah what the
Lions when theirs the plug is gone because somebody broke it last year and the electrician took it off and never put one back on okay well we'll have to work we'll make sure there's electric around either that you'd have to run extension to back to the next pole and the maintenance shed obviously has
electricity okay okay okay so work so they're talking about here yes going more this way yeah okay yeah and we can do a little walk through so that everybody's good you know yeah okay change up the layout yeah we
just that's all yeah I mean it was nice before you kind of had the nice semicircle and way we can still do the semicircle it's going to be you can it's a good just pivoting it's all yeah we're really flexible we like being there cuz it's pretty centrally located cuz we get people from the cape we get
people down from Boston we get a lot of people up from R Island so we really didn't want to have to try to find someplace else but it I mean and you said it was is it Sunday suay it's usually Sunday it's we've been the Second Sunday of September since we've been there so that's like kind of thing
when they're like when it's next year Sunday Saturday's busy for soccer Sunday's not so busy right um so that that and we love having the parents come through too because they can do all sorts of shopping oh here's the other issue a walk through did you have a food truck there before we did so to do that
you're going to have to get a a health permit okay because it's at the park property but you got to go through the the health department you have to go to the health department the person who's doing that has to have to serve save the business certificate the health they all that right it's fine but just that that's what you got to do you got to go
through them so just the food truck just say contact the board of health health comes down and inspects it and then just signs off and you're off do they come that day or do they do it at a different time um it depends I've seen them do it ahead of time for like ice cream trucks like the ice cream truck comes and he
meets them a food truck I don't know because wouldn't he have to like heat up and all that stuff I'm not sure we use them because when somebody first I don't know it seems like whoever's been in charge of the the building has been a couple
different companies over they said that they were the one group the one one of the places that was approved by the town to be there initially well I would just go to the health department say we're looking to do this on September 4th tell us what
you need from us yeah I don't think we have a list of food trucks that we don't do that anymore let that's when the par the Parks Commission itself ran it that was before the um maintenance I mean not the maintenance the um U vendors vendor no the management company management
thank you spit that one out before the management company before sem was the first one we had before them the board actually ran it and now yeah we had seven or eight food truck well not I shouldn't say seven or eight we had a few food trucks and we had six or seven vendors Caterers that would come in and
they were all approved by the town and that's just what we have to do they have to be approved by um the health department okay we can do that yep any want to make a motion make a motion um what other questions do you
have what what's the fee that the same well yeah I was going to make a motion okay to say the same fee okay okay um so I'll make the motion and then we can discuss I'm making a motion that the South eastn Mass Pagan Pride hold their
event on SE September 14th uh for the price of $300 for the day paid in full beforehand um at a location to be decided you may want to move around but
okay and also to have if you do decide to have uh a vendor truck that it has to go through all the rules and regulations of the town of Lakeville Health Board okay okay and do you have an insurance policy do they have to have one I don't
know the answer to that question initially we were told we didn't have to have one because we were on Town property because you rented through Lon Lodge no initially we rented through the town do and we haven't had we've never had one we will find that out okay
okay I'll second any discussion all in favor hi hi okay uh contact Peter um just just do the little homework first yep go to the Health
Board figure that out and then later going towards the summer get together again and take a look at the spot see what's happening when it warms up yeah yeah spr for isn't so muddy either okay okay great well thanks for

time sign in here you got it we got a lot updates to go to you guys so [Applause] okay you want have time [Applause] first can you introduce yourself to
everybody uh Brandon Richard um Lakeville resident and I'm just here supporting free Lake softball in blue of Mark I wasn't able to make it so he asked if I could sit in so you're willing to discuss all the things that he wanted to discuss in the email correct so he gave me he gave me a list
of some items he said you may have some questions I'll answer them the rest of my ability and um do you have them with you I I have a list of items but I thought you would be firing them at me but you we invited you you you know
we'll we'll discuss them yeah I think he he sent an email to the board about the application so I think the first let's do this application first was to see if um the field I guess was approved like do there a field request we have it right here
um start date April 1st end date July 30th um all three Fields expected to be used at this all the time use all the time spring busiest we're submitting our schedule through July we have a separate
season for Fall Ball won't know that till the end of August so what were the fellow Commissioners what were our questions in regards to this application so I think the oh sorry no no no I think the last
meeting we talked about there should be two applications possibly one for recck league and one for Flash travel yeah so if you can explain that to me because I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding you have a spring season
you have a flash that starts after spring season that goes through the winter and then through the summer and then you have a fall season we do okay I don't know how I'm not I won't be able to answer any of that information I don't have an like
any details on that I know that um after the spring wreck is when the Fall Ball starts and they have their tournaments scheduled I don't know if they're scheduled on our fields or if we they're traveling so I don't know if the practice is happening on three L fields
that's Flash not fall ball The Flash the fall ball is just I would assume it's similar to the spring it's just in Fall so there would be an application there'd be registrations we'd have a list of kids for the fall I can we can email you back with the details on that flash
question FL cuz when does the spring goto April to the June the June which it doesn't in interfere with says April to July 30th the bloop ball which is the second week of June so I mean correct me
if I'm wrong it didn't it was a similar with baseball it kind of stopped when school stopped correct right and that's kind of when BL ball always started was when school was letting out um that was his and that and Mark made Mark made that a point to for me to let you guys know that we talked to the president of
the ball league I going to ask that question and we worked out they said that they're starting the second week of June which is right at the tail end of the season so he's like we always work with them good on that part of it good um and I have here the practices start
on 41 um but that potentially could change until the poles are repaired which which is understandable and then the game start on 426 which we're still talking with Taunton to finalize those dates because the school vacation I believe is right
before that um he has the applic in I believe he paid the fee already um for that Peter did that I I believe yes yeah Jamie was you
say you know if you didn't you'll hear from Peter I don't want to hear from pet give be pretty scary but I I'll definitely look into the The Flash if they use the field that would be appreciated it's supposed to be done
tomorrow afternoon okay but I he he called me today um as far as the polls go I've been in contact with our facilities director a lot so we talked again today and uh the one pole is up the one that went down yep yep the other two poles
are all the poles are out the other two poles should have been put in a little while ago but because of the weather and Middleboro Gas and Electric all their thing but uh there was a little delay in it a little accounting thing but uh he told
me it should be up by the end of Tomorrow there's two polls the lights won't be lights are going to be a little further down gotcha but if the poles are in in the PS are up and secure yeah that's great cuz that's that's the risk right that's the risk yeah that's the risk now you know we we just don't want
anyone obviously yeah do once you give us the go then we'll I mean we were planning on 41 but we'll wait until because I think when is April 1 next week Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday yeah so to me I'm hoping
it's done tomorrow but I'll I will keep uh you updated K car it's up you're ready to go perfect and then we'll go from there yeah I think like if they've been potentially going down the field to if they wanted to practice I think they've been going down there working on the fields and playing over there so
staying off the field one other than our field day which thank you by the way you look familiar I'm like he Scotty I know the wife you down nice appreciate the help I'm sorry I wasn't able to get your stone dust faster with the tractor you
guys will ring it out too fast did he use all the Stone Des we delivered it was it was 12 yards it was perfect amount and we did but we did all the fields all all three and and he he did Josh bunker red it he bunkered all the fields it such a big help really really
was so I think we can continue to do that awesome appreciate it but we'll as see if we can get another load um do you need another load I I I think we're okay now but we do use it throughout the season so yeah I mean we would not we're
not going to say no give us give him a week's notice because Frank will order it okay and then he'll deliver it and dump it perfect we go because we have to go to the the DPW director we appreciate you having that there and the bathrooms there for the field day was big help
thank you okay so we just approving this application not including are we making a motion yeah I mean well the other concern is it's every daylight hour again like and
it justification for every daylight hour like there's nowhere we can cut any hours for the field usage I excuse to go bathroom I don't I I think this is the same application he uses every year I don't think he's changed anything so I don't know what he
done on the previous years is the asked to reduce the amount of field time for oh he has not been asked toly no so I know like some of the games can go longer if there's ties they you kind of stretch it so I think he probably tried
to in case that was the case there was no reason to pressure off the field well so I I can add into this a little bit being on softball too and having yours experience so there's different age groups right so there's um eight different leagues right U 10U 12 U so
Monday night Wednesday night is game night for 10 U I think and then Tuesday Thursday is 12 U um and they've got field one and two pretty much fully operating when they have home games those nights field three when it's not
underwater is usually used by somebody for practice if they don't have a game um they are to BJ's point they are off the field in time for blooper ball always oh yeah uh I I know it's they don't have the other tricky thing about this is
they play in a league where they don't control the schedule so it's not just leag B teams playing leag full teams they don't actually know what the schedules are yet so I think that's part of the problem of like you can't free up any time CU they have reserved for hosting games
too um but just did where did we land with we want want app application is fine or is it we wanted to um go ahead no you had discussed you had brought up that do we need two applications so I know we only have one here are we just
bypassing the the other whatever they do and just approve this to cover everything or just approve this to cover the regular League well I think that was more of a in general a Parks discussion because we had talked about the same for baseball like doing two versus the one
cuz technically like a different so we are we saying we're good we got everything done this year next year we change it is that worth I don't know that's up to the group well I mean no I'm asking you're you're part of the group I'm part of the
group I I think whatever we do should be consistent amongst baseball softball soccer talked they all have two registrations right and they pay two fees right well we're just talking about spring I I realize that no this is not
this is this is all three this application is all three no that's is one just spring just spring that that ends in June in June yeah and then like they ask was how the flash works in is that where you wanted
two applications was one for spring and then potentially one for FL The Flash yeah so I can get that in my thinking is and how we discussed it the last meeting or they'll meeting before that they all join together is that if you have a
registration form that collects a separate registration fee we should have a separate League agreement for that and I know because I went on the softball website and it specifically says spring and fall registrations do not count for
Flash it's a great point I'll I'll thank you and we can get back to on that um yep and other thing is clinics have we gotten a clinic form for free L softball no no um cuz they have a clinic on April 14th it's a little bit
different than our other clinics um how is it different I'm kiding I'm sorry let me tell you how it's different it's different because it's the kids that are already enrolled in the leagues and it's pctures and catchers and it's $20 and
it's one hour so it's different because it's not $150 for 4 days for four hours a day and that's that's a fundraiser really that clinic do you do you bring someone in or is it done inhouse so it's a it's a
member of the the she's a member of the board and she's donating her time for kids which is different from the ones that are on the other field and and that money most likely is going to go into field three at some point right it's a
it's all we're trying to raise funds to repair the fields that's where you get your money from yeah all the repairs are done by the girls in in fundraising right there's no other way to get the money nope with you know so it's we're trying to just with the dugouts and the
back stops and then all that field repair so anything we raise is like goes right back into those fields because we do have clinics where they pay $125 for somebody's making money it's from someone else and it's it's from another organization and there's kids from any town can come right it's a whole
different ball game right this is really it's it's in-house it's not to solicit new players it's inh housee to help the girls figure out like hey beginning of the Season like who wants to try being a pitcher it's not for like pitcher who goes to pitching
lessons it's a novice thing just to try it so do we want a clinic form or we're just calling it part of their practice practice part of their I would call it part of their practice a play play d right what what other questions do you
have um there was um some feasibility work group was created um related to you ready we have we we have the fusibility group put together okay so they're going to talk about what they're going to bring to and I think they're s are you Melissa I am okay I think they have to
sit with you yes I would love that okay is there a I've been waiting for them for a long time for a long time okay so I'm going to make a star next to that um what else was there here I already thanked you for helping again on
the fields [Music] um the shed um from the pole was we didn't know if if there was any that the town could do to help us with the repairs on the
shed because it feels like we're potentially like going backwards so like we raise money to help improve the field and then when something like that happens we can't really put it into field three so it was which you know so
it I it's raise some money girls four grand and then can't put it back into the field it's kind of disheartening and then we can't really put insurance on it because it's not on our property so we're kind of it's just a you know we try to calm
everybody down so I don't know how to get how what what can we do so that doesn't happen in the future so I just didn't know if there's anything yeah no I I totally understand uh from our Point uh we have no insurance down there for really
anything okay we're not the town doesn't cover us we don't have any insurance down there for if anything breaks yeah um so when these polls went down obviously it was it was weather related we all went down there and saw what happened uh
to two two years ago we replaced the other three right total polls everything right cuz they' obviously they they're un safe did we do five how many polls are there I think we did five six one came down and then we had them we
replaced that one and then we had them surveyed we brought in a company to test them and then we they had found three so we fixed those three and left three that of those five and we had three left at they said we're good so we didn't do
those three yep so um so obviously um we have to pay for that we have to pay for the polls we got to pay for for the new poles we got to pay for a whole new set of lights up top plus to put the you know take the lights off one both the
poles and have them go up and you you got to pay someone to go up you know with the tear and stuff so that's you know that's north of 10K for us just to get it going which comes out of a budget that wasn't planned for because well because as you understand we don't receive a dollar from the town oh je
okay so she says that but so everything that happens comes out of our budget that's in anything any kind of an accident or we just had tree fall on The Snack Shack at Clear
Pond and that's going to cost us not not insured also well no it there's a 5,000 $5,000 deductible didn't fall in it that bad yeah that's what I didn't know if there was a deductible with this cuz like with the poll cost you're already
you hit your deductible so I didn't it wasn't covered not covered no so we totally understand that you like once you get ahead then you have to slide back and you do all this because just when we're thinking yes we have money to do that then all of a sudden the polls come down the shed at johnon Park and
then you slide back again like whenever anything's going good so we totally live your thing but the other thing is if we fix your shed we have to pay prevailing wage and then your $2,800 fix is now $5,000
understood it's just it yeah yeah I don't know um we're willing to you know I I don't know I don't know how to how that works with the the town when it comes to that if you guys actually fix it we're not asking for um I guess for
you guys to fix it it' be more like we're willing to fix it it's just the materials cost and then maybe we can put that money into field three and show you hey we're going to spend it back in on the complex doubt that you know um
just hard to raise money like we spent a lot we spent all the money that we raised on the the dugouts and the back stop so grip on the volunteer lab say that again did they did the did the town loosen up I mean for a while you couldn't do any volunteer labor um
New Town Administrator I believe yes but I can't be positive because we haven't had an opportunity with our new administrator you can ask because there was a there was an issue before about volunteer labor and um it it was nixed completely
well they had to you went through it when you did the they did the dugouts they had to sign all kinds of papers y so maybe we can go that route maybe we can get some plywood and well I don't think a decision can be made tonight understood because there's
too many variables you have your other container I know that that was not the point of that other container to store everything in but it couldn't have come at a better time really couldn't it's funny that that container we we
purchased that container because um I was out there one time I believe his name is Ryan he cuts the grass nice gentleman and he mentioned something about this um an older uh bunker raking machine that used to live in the old and
he he always mentions he's like it's really hard to cut the grass and do the bunker rake because he can only fit one machine on the trailer he's like if I come down here and cut the grass I'd cut the grass and rake them if the bunker rake was there right so then we talked
to the the Freel Lake board and I said why don't we pick up a container and then he can put the bunker rake there and then when he cuts the grass he can go bunker rake it for us that's one of the reasons why we purchase that cool so I know it's in the shed but I don't know
how that would work if you guys well he brought the bunker rake down to the fields when he did it right he brought that down there but the thing is in the season our Parks guys do not mow that area it's done by the town guys mow that
area so it's not our our part employee does not does not mow softball fields no R does a trash the DPW does it because it slow got it okay but during the season it's done by other guys it's done by other Town employees so what would
happen is is the other guys would still mow and do whatever but then our guy would have to bring down the bunker rake and and or or keep one or keep it down there there two and do it but it would just be two separate things but I'm sure
it's something can work out but it's an easy thing but I've just let you know how it works out gotcha that's uh cuz we tried to store it downstairs in the building and it was just rusting away yeah that's what he mentioned and I think I think he said now he's like it's it's sitting right here and and they
don't use it I think it taken up space Maybe maybe with that would be for the for the shed then we have our bunker EG and we could do it I don't know if that's an option I don't know how you know if hey we're going to I don't know
if the town can donate that if it's not being used if the Parks Commission I don't know probably has to go through the special right I don't know how that works I don't know if we have the money
or can make that money decision yet we can't make a decision tonight I think the next meeting we'll have more answers with the budget and money and so forth and and then there's going to be a whole new well two two new board members here so I
think that'll probably maybe brought up that meeting because it's so close to softball time but this board will have all the information it needs as far as money goes uh and and if if it can be done by you guys and there's helpers I'm
sure but that has to go to the Town Administrator first okay we we'll wait to hear back and can you do like a temporary fix cuz the water it's going to be yes it's it's it's okay now it's not it's not really leaking now and it's safe it's you know it's just should be
repaired but it's not I don't know if a snow load would cause any damage it doesn't look bad well hopefully it's not going to snow again so we should be all all set for that for a while um and the last thing was um
there's an existing well um on this on the field or in that area now uh we talked to the Board of Health and is it Peter NE Paul Paul Paul he's a facility we talked to the the Board of Health and
Paul about um potentially um tying into that well going into the Snack Shack and they just said for us to go to you guys first to see and then they would yeah that that that's their way of them not saying no and us saying no that's fun
and it and it would be um for non-portable drinking and then um so what would you do with it in The Snack Shack cuz you can't wash your hands you can't wash dishes you can't do anything can't do anything it it's non-portable so there would the the pump itself sits inside The Snack Shack and then on the
outside there is a keyed faucet so that we can use it to dust down the field or water the grass with a key and wash wash the golf cart wash equipment that's where all we wanted to do with it there
would be no faucet inside there' be no drinking of it this is just to you know what to even get it going I mean from what I hear there's a lot of conservation EPA stuff going on we don't know what's spilled what's broken anything down there that's why we when
we wanted to bring water there they said no you can't use that well for anything so we look to go down to get water but I I have emails saying don't even think about it so unless something's changed that will cannot be used
yeah who who would who said it can't be used just cares is it the Board of Health or the Board of Health because we you know they we talked to them and they just asked if the parks would allow us to put the pump in let us talk to Paul and we'll get back to you yeah cuz I
have the email that tells me don't think about it that's all right we'll just write down talk to Paul about jpp water and it's it it's non-portable it's not drinking it's a faucet outside that's keyed nobody can turn it on without a key and it's just a garden hose in case if we air rated the lawn we could reced
it we can water it that's all could try to get rid of some of the mud if we can plant new grass that's all that's sprinkler water it's the water we use to use sprinklers with correct so keep that in mind to put on our plan when we have our meeting it's oh it's there there
it's there and we do have like um we have a good um donor that is willing to help us with the pump and all the infrastructure for it could you have all these people who do great work for you Landscaping
Engineers no roofers we do it's it's the it's just the material but we do have all the contractors that could would help we're trying to Source material what else what else does Mark have on his
list that that's it that's he sure that's all I got and then I I think uh the only other thing he had was he's asking for weekly grooming with the bunker R isn't that what we did last year did we do every other I think we kind of said we it would happen and it just it didn't
always happen so it helps to like especially in the spring when um let's see knock on this plastic table that we don't have such a wet spring this year but when it's real bad there I mean you've seen the fields they get like all the these nasty gullies in them
it's just a injury risk for the players to roll an ankle you know so it just helps to keep that um level and safe and then it helps to keep the weed growth down well if it's there it shouldn't be an issue yeah true so Josh has already done it once
Josh went down last great when we showed up he did all the fields yeah and so it was great yeah we ended up we rented a actually grants we rented a saw cutter and that's how we edged the infield yeah it looked really nice yeah a lot of help
good nice line do we know when Ryan's coming back nobody knows so that's another issue we're down to one person and it's been fine through the fall in the winter but spring summer when the grass needs to be cut and the just the cleanup of
the leaves and branches and and I don't Frank doesn't have anyone to spare to give us unless he hires a part-timer for the summer so we will do the best we can don't worry we're we will get okay we will get things done nothing's going to so we got to okay one at least the
spring season Y that's what's here so so they can get going make a motion that we accept and okay uh preown Lake uh softball to play in the spring second I'm sorry all in favor uh any
discussion all in favor sorry just discussion so we would amend with the amendment to limit it to June whatever Jun whatever it is Spring ball season July 30th and then if we can cut down some of these hours to that be
great okay all so we good did we vote did not V oh after the discussion uh all in favor I I motion passed thank you can play thank
you thank you very much for all the done thanks take care cuz the old PO is still up thank you thanks the old polls is still up I think you said they were out I think they are still you said the old they were there I haven't been since
last Sunday they were up last Sunday yeah right they were up last Sunday yeah they're coming and the one that fell was replaced was free the other polls had to be paid for before they would put the new poles are there they on the ground but they're just going to and put them in and get then the other poles they're
going to take the other poles away right correct or are they going to cut them into chunks and leave them on the I will I'm going to go down there tomorrow and I'll talk to Paul but I'll let you guys know thank you but I just want those polls up and the lights he'll
do whenever like in May or end of April cuz you don't use them till when when do you use the field the lights for those Fields middle of June middle of June okay does women stop first or does men stop first women women's the middle of
June right women's place in the summer between the holid school yep being out and being in okay so as far as this goes um we already voted on July 4
we're going to table number nine we voted on eight number seven no no that's what I'm getting to okay uh one two six so we're going to go to number seven review Park
commission budget report Peter uh you have a copy of it it's uh people take a look at it questions I know um we still have so as far as the
Appropriations go uh skate park improvements we still have six con field water electric 15 there's still, 1300 left for C field arpa which what's that just money left over from all the fening and everything
we have I have a question about now that Britney's not here she had asked about like some signs for the skate park to finish the project or we still looking for that or we'll talk to the new people when they come in if you guys want to sign people to do that sign it like last
I wouldn't worry about the signs no I I agree um this money doesn't go away it just yeah so it's fine okay um what is there a plan for the $1,300 from commissioner
Fields uh there will be by the time I leave to use it all and I they said it was okay if I did it after the first year because it's only $1,300 um what about the water and the
electric for commissioner Fields so what's going on and I'll put that all together bottom one 15 yeah so um there's two things happening one is um we have to turn on the sprinklers to fix the uh the broken one the broken one but you
can't turn on the sprinklers for at least another two or three weeks uh so I'm getting a a local irrigation guy to come we're g to because we because Ryan and Josh are the ones who turn it on and
off blow blow out the lines and everything with Dennis so we're going to put those on and then we're going to watch it start to fill wherever it is and then we're going to shut it down and then we're going to have I'm going to have the irrigation guy come down and
he's going to dig and see what needs to be done um because the irrigation doesn't really need to be put on until May miday Scott we don't run water I don't run water on my lawn as as soon as it's fertilized whatever the
fertilization date we got to have to find from we got to be able to run water if they're doing it um so anyway we gonna get that done and as far as the uh Comm electric uh there's a I've talked to a few people there's a 18 in ditch
that needs to be dug what is com is Comm what is I'm sorry commissioner field water electric okay thank you sorry um and then we got to get a separate electrician a separate plumber um to run those down to the end
of the fence uh so yeah that will probably get I Scott and I have talked about it we're going to go down there next week um we're going to I'm going to give them the names of the people who I talk to but it's going to have to be three different people who do it uh as
soon as um soccer ends which is June soccer ends in June I think down there first June second week of June second week of June then we're going to
have those guys go down there uh to do that work CU it's going to take like a week but the issue is um the issue is is that there was never a diagram of where the pipes are on the field we just know where the
sprinklers are but the people who put in what that's the guy right there okay but but that's the guy who hired someone to do well but yeah his guys right so we'll have to figure that out and then I was told wasn't a back flow backflow
preventor where that water's coming from so the Plumber's going to have to look at that too so uh that so everything should everything as far as the broken pipe that that'll be done before uh this the the sprinklers go on
and then the Cal Water electric will be done there home so will the $300 cover the pipe repair do you think no that's what the 15 oh oh the pipe repair I'm sorry I'm hoping I'm sure it will okay so we won't have to worry we won't have to
worry about that money coming from somewhere else do we want to contact Mark and sure get it get an outline of where the pipes are oh give me a number of phone tomorrow got it right here um so anyway let's go back to the budget
thanks Melissa uh let's go back to the budget any questions on expenses Peter where were the um the red lines on these things that we need to worry about about the ones that say alert Yeah well yeah the alert things are but they're they're yeah you have to
look at each one it's just basically the alert there is if we're spending or more than we budgeted up to this point of the year or if we've received less than we budgeted uh proportionately but when you look at the actual items um a lot of
those can be explained by uh uh I mean the only ones that are obviously a problem are you know buildings some ground expenses uh you know we're obviously going to be over on that you know it's the same cookie jar
so some's going to be over some's but all in all you know the it looks good you were 73 over $73,000 in the in the black at the moment very good okay um we're going to go down to
um 12 discuss some possible vent request from LP LS to reduce rent in August due to try bestest so I had this discussion with um Timothy a while back and I know I brought it up to you guys talking about
uh his being a little upset uh that some of these things we book um effective business um so obviously he he told the trifest guy that he wouldn't be able to
host him this year after we already approved it and I talked to them I said well I'm sorry but you can't do that um this is a yearly thing it's our biggest fundraiser and um we've already signed the contract and
then he goes well that's a big wedding weekend and whatever I said well I mean please understand we took this job I mean please understand that they set up Thursday Friday and Saturday there's no question but the
events on Sunday morning yeah whatever and I understand for parking purposes but you know well I don't I don't want people to look at things out there well I go well you know there are times is that that this is going to happen we we can't not we're not going to turn down
something that's our probably our largest net income for the year because you know you may want to to to book a wedding or something I said we're willing to work with you anytime I know Peter stays in touch and everything but
you know I but I was I wasn't Tiff he's a great guy I liked him he's very professional I was very happy but I just kind of said you know you you you can't write letters with our name on it because the letter to one of them said you know the US in
the Parks Commission say that you can't do this I said so I said if you have any issues just let us know come to a meeting or whatever so then um he sent in this thing about giving
him a break for that month and I know we what's the r pay the mon um at this that point it'll be oh yeah it's a new year it's 10,000 it's August 10 yeah 10,000 right so I I you know the only way I
would this is just me before we get into the only way I would give anyone credit is if they can't use the building that we own like you know there was a sue overflow or there's no hot water electric they couldn't use it well that's a different story but we we can't
give breaks on rent you never do that so because he's also looking for um I got this he's sending stuff to Paul NE on himself too and I don't know why he does that he's should be going
through you Melissa and everything yeah I'm a little disappointed that they didn't mention anything before they sent out the letters those so it was like blindsiding us when we things should be in those letters and then so Paul yeah and this is another so this is the
second time he sent one to Paul asking about the finding the plumber full the hot water because I had told Melissa that Paul told me they're working on the hot water I go for what and he goes the dishwasher I said well if there's hot water coming in the building but it's not working on the dishwasher I said
well that's a dishwasher issue and the guy goes no there's no heater on a dishwasher I said I I'm just telling you I worked with dishwashers all my life if there's hot water coming in the building it's a dishwasher issue so Paul talk to a guy and he says yeah it's got to be so Paul's dealing with him now I just don't
but like I said Melissa should be said Heather whatever should just be dealing with Melissa shouldn't be talking because if Paul making repairs Paul could have made repairs replace something could have been to Grand right and then we get a bill and
then we get a bill well who did it and then well you know it's not Paul's fault but he's going to say we told me nothing should be done without us approving it and we said that a few years ago too so anyway well he's also asking now um I guess over the winter is a bad
winter some shingles fleu off the Gazebo so uh um so he want that replaced uh let's see he's got a wedding in two weeks I have brought the Gazebo up to the town for three years and nothing has been done which isn't right compl it
last year myself Bob Beach and Ryan I did twice I went up there with a power washer and the Moss thing and we did it but this winter really killed it so that's not going to help so he's looking for they're missing singles the roof is
covered in Moss and the stain is completely faded I'm happy to replace the roof and repair the structure and deduct the cost of my rent [Applause] so I don't like deducting off anyone's rent I mean if if this board decides
that okay let him do it and he gives us an invoice that's a different story but but you never touch rent that's a that's a precedent that we should get into but so first off what are your thoughts on him with the um with the trifest and
reduction of rent why would why would we give a reduction in rent says parking compromised at all on Sunday no because it's in the morning so by the time anything happens it's done by 1:00
right if they had a 1:00 or 2:00 wedding or shower the parking lot should be cleared out but he he bid on he bid on taking this job knowing that that was there on that weekend on that day it seems like I'm getting the impression
that they think that they control like that whole side of Ted Williams camp where in actuality they control Lon Pon Lodge and that side of the road MH not across the road Into The
Big Field because that's what happened with the thing and if they don't want to open the bathrooms that's for them that's absolutely fine and I understand that they've worked really hard and made Lun Pond Lodge into a Premiere wedding
venue and looking out the window at uh staging and bike racks all set up is unfortunate but it's once a year pretty much it's once a year once
you get into the building you can't see that there's no windows to where the mic racks up right it's on the other side windows are out this side and this side the kitchen and the bar are back over here and they're gone by one and the if they're getting
married outside in the Gazebo that's out back and then Heather's really good at controlling noises like she'll ask the pickle ball people to hold during the ceremony and the same like we had mentioned for the Pagan Pride people
they could of cut the music if there's a ceremony going on right if we move them to what we're talking about they won't there should be a problem and it's a night party there's no issue and if they can do a ceremony at 2:00 and wouldn't affect anything right out of the water they come out of the water there right
behind the Gazebo right but it's no Sunday morning no I know no I know it's you know they're out of the water by 9:00 yeah at the latest and I don't think it's that late I would be open to reducing the room fee if they need to
use that as an incentive to rent out the place during Tri best for what day one day but well no I was thinking Friday Saturday Sunday for one
weekend but I think we need to have the discussion of where what he his expectations of us because we can't if someone wants to rent that area we can not rent that area so that he can have a wedding as long as it doesn't affect
parking like we've done that in the past like the Lions Club couldn't use it because they had a wedding and yada y yada but so we need to work that out like he hasn't even booked anything yet it's in public park right that was what I was going to say I mean I asked about the parking CU that could be tricky if
like the whole park 75% of the parking lot was going to be taken or something but right it's in a park that's a known Factor going into it I I don't think we should even do a room rental reduction I think it kind of is what it
is my thing is is is is he bid on taking this job knowing right that the trifest is that weekend right and there is some impact um you know on a on the Friday night and and the Saturday night they're not there but the stuff is there there's
no one there it doesn't impact any parking and Sunday it would impact a Sunday morning thing and how many Sunday morning events are there one or two they could still have a shower I mean in the big room I mean this the room that they run
by when they come out of the water is not used to rent that's like their because it's on the other side of the Gazebo right right well he also said well you know I'll go to the town manager I said great because the town manager is going to say
go to the parks because it's their money so yeah so if anyone wants to make a written that would be the end of it huh I that would be the end of it um so where are we motion
time but if we're not doing anything do we need to vote on it well it says discussing possible voting request from LOM Pond to reduce rent in August so we either say yes or no that we won't reduce rent or we will reduce rent so I would like to I would
like it in vote either way to vote either way so if someone wants to make a motion I'll make a motion there's no reduction in the rent I'll second okay discussion all in favor I I motion passes
unanimously um Peter or Melissa you want to send him a email I can just let them know what's happening tell them please if you need anything contact you directly and not
anybody else okay now um there's really nothing we can do on this other thing now either can we what's up the aazebo because I just got that email today what do we think on that anyway
I think we try to get it fixed rather than can we hire you know how we have hired Bob Beach to do like small repairs can we hire like a construction worker like that can do roofs and gazebos handyman yeah we can either put them in
we can either put them in the payroll or put them in the repairs and maintenance because if we're paying $25,000 for our roof right $33,000 for the Clear Pond roof like not that we're paying for your your shed roof but
$1,000 for your shed roof the gazebo's going to be a couple thousand dollar wouldn't it make more sense like even if we shared it I don't I haven't brought this up to Paul NE but even if we shared them with Paul N we don't have a town Town Co door
anymore uh they he's been doing 75 80% of it himself unless it's a big job yeah Paul does we used to have Town Carpenter before he passed to away believe me there's there's well he
former police officer um so is that something we can do you can do we can hire some to me it's better to make it cleaner to make an employee who's got these skills right and then we tell him go to Ace get the equipment you need and
and do what you got to do he can do plumbing he can do I mean well if he can whatever he can do he can do a real handy man yeah but he's got to be in the payroll wise if he's if he's not and he's then it could be a big thing it could be who knows right then we can run into we have a town plumber we have a
town electrician right I I I am 100% with that I don't think we have a town Carpenter anymore Our Town electrician we go use um oh shoot it's a company we don't have a town electric yes thank you which is
very expensive I know we just have to buy the parts and that's easy so is that do you think that's something that that I can see how Paul feels about that see if he wants to split it with us he know he's got no
money seen his budget yeah I've seen it too it's 50,000 less than it was last year I mean especially if Bobby Beach is not going to come back we do have some payroll money sitting there that we've budgeted for so I guess we have to find out if we
can we can we get them real quick we still have or's money too for the year no I'm sorry it's it's the same cookie jar it's payroll it's in payroll that's a lot of money yeah it will be I mean do we need to ask the ask
for sound anything well then then then we need to talk about putting it out there and hiring somebody if especially if Bobby's not coming back I mean we need somebody the town doesn't care because it's Bobby was a handyman that's what he was right he was good with the little fixies here no but that's what he was and he's busy he works so we need to
to Lacy about how we go about that human resources that would probably be the next step yeah she would probably just say Lacy we want to put you to do that you want me to do that oh you do it because you're you're going to be here uh that's a great idea just say listen please put an ad out this is what
we want he's going to be in our payroll it'll be part-time so there'll be no benefits right guy wants the uniform I'll give him a uniform boots yeah you never know right
okay talking to Paul a good step in the right direction also shoot okay next review impossible vote on application of Doug Barry for position of director of Clear Pond
Park right in front of us we have the application for employment clear p park director seems to have been vetted his references have checked out was he the only application I was just going to ask that
I have no idea I don't think anyone else would do it well we only had this one so I didn't know it was closed this is the only one still open no this is it so I make a motion to hire Doug Barry as position of director of Clear Pond
Pond Park for year 2526 second any discussion all in favor I we didn't discuss again it's fine I well there's a lot of changes that I I
went I sent him an email when all the stuff I'm like we've got this going on this going on this going on this going on this going on and he's like all right thanks M man a many words so he's going to see stuff going
on yeah I it's fine I mean you can't find a better director it's just there's a lot of changes going on that we couldn't mold about a director no he is clear
P do we have to do a job evaluation for him or no because he's 8 weeks in the we let him go that we need to find out I don't think we do we re hire him so I guess that's the evaluation he's not like permanently part-time it's just yeah if he was full-time part-time
yes but if he says parttime parttime I don't think so and then and he's a non-union position on that same vein has anybody done Peter's evaluation I tell him every day he's doing a good job I'll do it
do we have a a review when I talk to Lacy tomorrow I will just get a copy and I'll do it okay so that's out of the way any liaison reports I don't have any others that haven't been discussed already go no please yeah just the
camera stuff is rolling at T that's not Le right leaz on oh sorry I'm not okay any leaz on reports yep yep I've been talking with baseball I've been talking with uh Samurai and uh they came to practice today and look
over the fields and see what needs to be done and the Cardinals were practicing on the field that aren't supposed to be on that's not a team that we have registered and they we have free toal Lakefield baseball not the Cardinals that's a separate team that separate
insurance correct or no I don't know no because this is the same with flash so they are a Class C travel team which means that in order to be on that you have to be a participant in the town
rec league which means you play spring season and would be covered by the insurance but they're using fields that they're not supposed to be those parents are separate registration separate user fee ding ding ding well that's what we
said to them and they said oh no they don't use at Lakefield Fields they only play in Freetown fields well that wasn't the case and the comment was well I'll just go practice on that field
okay so that's the first thing um the other I'm sorry so do we need to send another email to baseball do we need to how do we they don't even have Field Four reserve for anything they shouldn't be on field four at all so a notice
Field Four is not available to them period no other field except for the fields that you are committed to use can they use otherwise they will be asked to leave the fields that are reserved for that session so spring baseball can use
those fields traveling team cannot use those fields like because well we should tell them the same thing we just told softball if you have a travel team that you'd like to utilize the fields for file a separate application yes right otherwise they did right well I know we
did and they use it well now right we have to send an email that says um allowed to use your first strike you're not allowed to use them you've been witnessed on field 4 we have other paying customers right well have Reser if they're doing a separate registration
aren't we supposed to get a separate fee yes correct word it say at least the separate application so we know what's going on and who's using it they haven't requested anything got that Peter Well Peter I'll I'll help
you word up but pretty much we're going to say this is your second warning if we do it again we're going to suspend your players from using any of the fields at Ted Williams until this is corrected it's the only way you're going to get anyone's attention yep that's all you are suspended from using the fields you
had to put them you got to do it oh well we'll see we'll talk no it's not right so that's that's the first thing second thing is is is men's softball would like to get some field mix so I think we need to get some field mix I don't know how much is out there I don't know that
there's any out there there's none out there there's none in the back we need to get some field mix we need to get some field mix um because they they have some young blood in soft in the men's softball league guys are big
um this guy isn't but he these are young he's willing to slide you know I mean he was the one that was there by himself last year doing it so um he's trying to get a few more people to help him out but if we can get once we get
some um soil we can uh do we get a giant truckload and dump it in the back or we just get yeah and then have the have them dump it on the field because that's what Ken L is asking for also is if he can come out with the the back ho and drop it you know like at home plate some
of the pitcher mound some by Third Base some by second base his guys will rake it he uses that same field mix yeah the field y all right so we'll just get it and we need to get a does um Frank do that because we didn't go through Frank for anything last year we just ordered
it from the place directly and they well if you want that's fine I did it Frank because I wanted him to have the guy spread it and get everything done once so I said you just take care of it once stop shopping because he orders it he delivers it he dumps it and so forth so
that's why I went through him but I don't know if he does field mixs but if we have a guy who use filament let's just order from him is that the guy who dropped it off for the volleyball court the same people the sand I don't know I don't know I don't know this cuz the one is the the what is it called soil
something down in um oh yeah wayam yeah y um they were the last one we bought it from like two or three years ago so how much do you think we need I can't remember we I mean if they're going to put some on field four and they want some for field one um don't we just get
the biggest truck and dump it in the back I mean it's not go bad get a big truckload is you know how many yards readed custom soil thank you thank you that's it read did you have what we ordered the last time we just
ordered see what it was 9 and 1 12 tons so that's going to be the size of the truck yeah so is that what what we want to get how much was it Peter wasn't how
much was it it was 337 it's not bad dollar and and that didn't seem like it was a whole lot well that sounds like it's a small dump truck yeah 10 you want more than that what was I going to
ask the what you put at softball was it better than what was their last year it was good stuff yeah it's like much it was good stuff yep it was easy to work with it was it wasn't real it wasn't big course stuff it was kind of fine
iter but Mark said last year it was bad it was like chunky it was it was tough no this was good so that's that's men's softball is willing to do some work I shamed him into that you're good at shaming people and Ken l wants to work on the field and
then he after that um his guys want to um work around the uh batting cages and clear out all the weeds and replace some of the The netting yeah they haven't done anything yet I was there yesterday right he today was his first day here oh okay it's been yucky weather it's been
lousy weather but he wants to get going on that he says so I can go talk to Ryan I said well let us talk to I said I don't think Ryan's there I said but um we've got Josh so we'll we'll we'll work with Josh we just got to find out I says tell me where you want it and then we'll
relay that to Josh and um but you know just he just wants to spread out on the on that field four mhm and uh his guys will come down and rake it um and moved around um that was that um I know I'm not the soccer actually
you are so okay what during my whatever convalescence I am I asked Scott to take over soccer because they were sending me stuff and they had questions so okay Scott's been taken care of it but then I've been in conversation with the
president and um they are willing to pay for if they can control it with their guy fertilizing the soccer fields it's 10,000 bucks I I that's well we used to
pay it when I was on the soccer board we paid for it so I know it was $10,000 it was $10,000 back then um two applications if we do this then we've got to talk with whoever orders the fertilizer and
not to order it for the soccer fields because you know we don't that's Frank oh yeah that's Frank Frank told me what can you say that again they offered to pay for it if they can control the fields no control putting on the application be in charge of fertilizing
the fields they have a guy who's certified because right now we pay someone to we pay someone to do it right so they want to pay some they want do their own way and and and do it so they know when it's not a big deal as far as when it's getting done we tell you when
it's getting done we know the morning they show up right I mean it's you know it's usually in the beginning of May and but anyhow that's they're willing to pay for it they just want to they want to do it themselves well not themselves but
their guy because technically on Municipal Fields like this is really supposed to be done three times a year MH used to be yeah but now it was two fertilizer and and a grub control right but now we don't do that anymore so that Commissioners and Ted Williams well we
haven't that they want to pay for it well so they're not trying anything like oh well we fertiliz it so no one else can use the F no no they're just they just want to take care of them cuz they don't want it they're trying to the other thing was if we can put up a snow
fence around the small the small field over near the near the um tennis courts they're trying to not use that field at all it's the smallest one closest to the parking lot the one that the flag football will be on no no they're not playing they're
not playing oh that's right they but that one's in the back um this is a small one that that we did actually on a Saturday morning basketball courts no no near the tennis courts not our tennis courts oh the tennis courts Club the Athletic Club down in that corner
there's a small field what we used to call the u8 field it was very small field and what happens is it's the closest to the parking lot so teams come on and they go 10 ft and practice instead of going down like I used to take my kids all the way down to the field in the back because it was the
best grass you know but so you had to walk 100 yards and nobody wanted nobody wants to do that they want to play in the closest field so it gets overused and it's supposed to be used by the little kids so they want they like to close that one down for the for the
spring but they're willing to pay for and fertilize the soccer field a lot of money I I I at Le $10,000 I we we up the fertilizer fee because we wanted to make sure we did it twice and the price of
fertilizer went up talking to Frank so you know Frank ownes that's going to have to be decided sooner or later because he's going to if he hasn't ordered he's going to order real quick well that's what I'm saying we need if you could reach out to him and just say hold off just hold off on on that and I
mean but we've got to give them permission to do it you know what I'm saying this board's going to say yes right but so it's so that we can move forward and say okay do it and tell Frank not to do it but then Frank still going to have to order a fertilizer oh he's going to have to order a fertilizer for the rest of the for the softball
fields John Pawn but we just have to let them know how much that is right to exclude to exclude the two soccer the the CU because we wanton done twice a year all Fields done twice a year well we'll be able to if if they pay for the
soccer fields oh easy yeah we might even be able to put a grub control down so I I'll let them know and you guys decide in your next meeting like how far you want to that's one item so so there was the soccer and the two baseball fields
okay I got a lot done for around sitting all that's on your plate um so we need to make sure that's on the agenda we need to final discuss and and vote on get that Peter so that we can then let both
parties know yes or no well you're going to be in charge of the agenda for the next meeting because you're the vice chair and I'm not going to be at the meeting so it doesn't make sense for me to do the agenda okay so um light pole Replacements we talked about
security cameras at at TD Williams they're rolling um they started install last week with the wiring the cameras they came back today actually to put up um we realized
that we need to ask them uh to put a monitor in the maintenance shed there so I think they're going to be there tomorrow so they were supposed to come back tomorrow so we'll let them know to get the monitor that that does the splits yeah right and that I texted Rob I haven't
heard back from him yet but um so we have 10 grand left in our yeah so monitor won't cost that should wrapped up isn't the police station monitoring them monitoring what the cameras they'll tie into that and the police station can
look at it but we also had talked about having a monitor in there just like for Josh or for any of us who happen to be there and want to look at something well the thing is is that um we want quick access to it because if something happens and then we got to
roll back the tape we're we're going to want to do that and it's recorded it's recorded like how long is it recorded for long did I say oh uh was it 30 days 30 days I thought so it gives you plenty of time to go back and see what's what's
going to happen so well once that's up and running then Carrie will go through all the other things and how that's going to work and yeah and I think we didn't maybe we talked about it at one of our last meetings but we changed things a little bit we're not getting the eyeball camera
we're getting some stationary ones and we'll see how it goes and we can adjust or add on come September you can say hey let's do this and that yeah we're also not doing tree trimming until we um see what the view is so we can trim as minimal amount as possible
okay okay uh Melissa update on damage to snack bar clar Pond Park I know we got a bill still damaged you got a bill oh it didn't what was that what was that bill for I sent you the trees was it $25,000 no it was a bill for ACT someone
doing something Peter remember that it was uh we in here I think we signed it tonight no it wasn't signed tonight but it was a bill and if actually I think I showed it to you and I said well what's this for
and it was for cleanup for or something to do with the snack bar cuz when was the last time you were down there where this where the Ted Clear Pond yeah is everything is everything still the same is everything
down are the lines still down is the no so the water is completely done 100% done okay the ground has been smoothed and they've planted minimal grass seed but they planted grass seed so water 100% done um
the part that fell is gone but I don't we I don't think we got a bill that we got a bill for something and I go what is this and I thought it said or even you said no no it's for cleanup or something because was that the discussion we just had that was the tree
that was at John Pond Park that the tree that was a no because who would have cleaned that up at John Pond Park no at Clear Pond the DPW took the tree down the tree that had fallen the DPW came
clean that upo yeah what is that righto I'm trying to figure out where it is it doesn't say where it is disposal of stumps this is pretty clear this is not this is stumps not the telephone stumps and brush this is not telephone stumps and brush it
doesn't say where I'm I'm trying to that's the just say Town picture of a car it's a picture of a a truck with wood in the back doesn't say it just says t l them that's the say where I'm pretty sure I saw the
DPW taking that tree away and I thanked Frank for taking that tree away and he said you're welcome was it possibly like the telephone pool stuff in the back of the TR picture you can't this one picture with you can see something in the back but it looks like trees doesn't look like to me it looks
like trees it doesn't look like smooth as it called no it doesn't look smooth and there's nothing on here that says it just town of Lakeville town of Lakeville disposal of stumps and brush where did this invoice come from DPW it was passed over from the DPW what's the
date on it of a service 310 date was 310 about right so I'm wondering I'm telling you Frank hired someone to do that and that's that's the bill for it that makes Frank's not going to move that stuff yeah it wasn't a big tree no but
he's not going to do that he doesn't have time for that so the rest of the trees they were there so he has pictures of it this is a tree that's a tree that's not that's not so that's what it is brush there was brush down there it just doesn't it just doesn't
specify so anyway when the tree came down it took down the electric box so I have to fill out a um work order to get that electric box put back on and there is a wash sink in the there's a sink inside of The Snack Shack that I thought
you know was a sink so Paul said that they put the pipe in through the floor in case we wanted to hook the sink back up but Doug said that sink hasn't worked for years and so I don't know what to do now so I thought I would talk to Ed and
see if we needed now that we're on Town water we can actually have our hand washing station that if we needed a single sink or if we needed a double sink and hook got the sink up cuz we have a sink over in the
shed have everything in the shed well no no no no no the the the shed outside the office there's a nice stainless steel sink in there is it one bin or two I I can't remember it's where' it come from look um where did it come from um you
been I think it was in the in the in the kitchen when they dismantled the kitchen at L Pond and and stainless all it took was a little elbow grease to clean it up so it looks great all right so that project's moving
along as far as getting them so as I said we have to pay the first five and then whatever else the shed yeah I can't see the shed roof being $5,000 but we'll see and it's not like it's not into the shed shed it's just the overhang
so yeah I don't know the last picture shows some trees I knew but wait we definitely know that's not poles telephone po it's no that's not telephone poles it says TWC
arpa Ted Williams Camp arpa I'll call Frank tomorrow can I just have a copy just rip one of them off off the back because the tree that came down was a like a dilapitated oak tree so it
wasn't vogs like that it was like pieces um and as far as the town Network down there is that done no they're coming back tomorrow to do other stuff I don't know what I go every
other day I unlock the gate I open the bath house come in the afternoon lock everything back up okay and you're all set with the EPA guy eventually it's not usable but I unlock it so they can get in cuz the it's got to go to the office
what they're doing the person that's no so the first day I met the flaggers there and I'm like oh I opened the bath house so they could get in and she's like oh good we'll have bathrooms I'm like oh no sorry I just opened the door there's no water and then the EPA guys coming
Tuesday Tuesday I'll open it for him watered people are coming down do inspections for what I don't were they doing inspections they were taking a survey for something it didn't sound like official official well it is is the Watershed people they come around once
every four or five years so it's got to be something yeah um um horseshoes I know they're not officially mine Hors shoes would like lights that's sry put that on the list
I don't know why we cuz we and baseball wants lights oh well yeah they're going to not get those they can buy them because we spent 30 grand out of baseballs and budget to put up the poles in lights so they want lights they can I'm sorry they can do it
that's just my opinion you guys can decide whatever you want so I think we should look into lights for horses shoes we did volleyball so we might as well spread the love it's going to need a bucket right I mean
those are high no they're not too high you can do that one they're not as high as the baseball ones that no bucket will reach it be a regular bucket but it could be a bance issue too right they're could be light so that's they're old they're older they they put them up yes
Hors shoes put them up hor shoes put them up and they were put up before the volleyball lights yeah so they're like well we can get light bulbs and I'm like it's probably just rent the thing get the light bulbs get the light out get the light bulbs go up put back I'm like it'
just be easier to get the LED ones you probably wouldn't need cuz there's like two on each pole well that's what we did for volleyball yeah so who's responsible for that they're the ones who put it up it's not a responsible thing well well
MoneyWise you have none they have none it's also kind of a safety thing if we provide it for volleyball and it it's not only for por shoes but that parking lot like when we go and vote on Monday
Tuesday if you vote at night look at the because from Lun Pon Lodge to horseshoes to the office that's like dark yeah cuz there's only that one light right in front of the office somebody should throw on the spotlights that are on the side of the office that's not good our
office yeah has spotlights yeah yeah they fixed them 12T when no they don't we bought how that when Christopher did his Eagle project we bought the double secret ones yeah we bought good ones both sides there's there's a switch and you don't even have to go in the office right on the front
by the the office door it's a little switch that you flip it like that and they go on they're not even um motion they're just you know they go on they stay on somebody wants to put them on I will go survey it all right any new
business yeah what were we going to do oh girl scout I'm like what were we doing um the Girl Scout brownies are doing having a journey so it's like they start a project from start to finish and they're learning about butterflies and the Monarch they're focusing on them
because they're endangered so they would like to put up um butterfly houses and a few plants that they have made seed bombs for butterflies and do that in the parks there is 12 girls and they've all
split up and taken an area of town so we've had somebody come from Ted Williams Camp we've had somebody come from John pwn Park we've had somebody um yesterday somebody reached out for Clear Pond and then this afternoon right before I left she's like oh good you
haven't left for your meeting yet wants to do one at the police station I didn't think it we needed an official vote because who's going to vote no against a butterfly house we don't need to vote so here's a question my this is my only question do we want someone from the parks to go with them
and okay where they're going to put her well I've met with the girl for Ted Williams Camp because they had to mut somebody so we did that and um so we picked somewhere we didn't want to do near Lon Pond Lodge
cuz they originally reached out to Heather because whatever attracts butterflies also attracts bees and we didn't want that anywhere near any Brides or the volleyball court court because we can't have people running around Barefoot if it's going to attract
feet so we put it um over there's a tree right in the middle between skate park and basketball that's like 10 12 12T back the back yeah so that's where she's going to hang her house and then she'll plant some of the things in our garden by the office as
far as John Pon Park goes there's already a Girl Scout Garden there so I really didn't think we need to discuss it they just stick it in the there and then the Clear Pond new and the police station I guess we'll have to talk to the police station and see how they're
feeling do don't start but as long as everybody's okay with that no problem I I just I think it would be good if somebody from the our commission was tagging along and saying yeah that's a good spot that's
all right in the dispatch window you can put it right there all right next meeting date I think is April 10th is that correct will not be here that will be with a new board April 10th are you being fous or
