[Music] f we're
good commission is February 27 2025 um minutes motion minutes 116 favor yes public comment you have a
public comment or you have something well two weeks ago I was told three weeks ago sorry that would have an update so now we're a week behind from that goal that they told me so yeah they said we're gonna You're
Gonna Hear within two weeks we're going on three weeks we pass over passed over the year February 14th yeah but um could happened today at least I got the confirmation
that it was coming [Music] so it's all I have I'm sorry I wish they're a very secretive organization Bonnie and I met with that that was like two weeks ago maybe yes it
was probably about two weeks ago two weeks ago um just a little bit of background t fors to be like my wife was on the youthis schols probably really here and then you know I'm I don't really know exactly their mission
obviously when I was there one there's one team on um but they keep talking about like team programming and things like that so I thought it was useful to like go to the meeting but I was a little disappointed in the representation that was around the youth
task force you mean just one team there was only one team and then and then my my license has moved on but um you know I also know that recruitments and people and more appointments so um I don't know
I I think it would be good in the future to get like a rep from the parks on on there but maybe we need to have a discussion with with other Town leadership um to get a representative from the parks on there so that they're
intermixed and kind of what's G because I don't really what like the force ahead is you know and so there I know that there's been talk about like getting programm in the firehouse but there's challenges to that SP you know so Bonnie gave them
like kind of right right so yeah um it's just something to think about I think as as we go forward maybe get email em like emails like board or
somebody who creates those appointments because I also know that there's just vacancies on that board so I think it would be it would be good for a represent to sit on are they looking for like stuff to do at night for like
high school kids is that there yeah so so I I was um it was more for like high school kids so I think on that floor too they're they they're supposed to have three high school kids and there's one kid right now and I think in the past they had but I also
think it's group school kids for kids yeah I felt bad because he he could tell he was clearly frustrated because you know like he you say he's was just the one on the board and um he's been to
these meetings he seems I think he's been consistent in going to the meetings when they do have them and you know we talk about we talk about not much you know comes from it because again we're limited you know so it's frustration
right it's like Weir to have it you know if you want to do something for high school students like so like at the teen center we have a teen center coordinator but all the staff is high school kids so can't have high school
kids watching high school kids you know if we got to that point yeah we'd have to hire and I think we discussed that you'd have to hire a team coordinator that would work at night you know that would be able or a consistent volunteer but that can always be a
little unpredictable you know so so is it's a good question we can just decide I just put it on agenda because for me personally I just see that I see that Committee just erode right and like
be honest I have I'm crazy busy SCH too my wife's like this commit doing right so it's also like finding someone who's pass be on there put people on it right um and I was actually surprised that someone the parks wasn't on committ
similar to how we have the CPC where you have people I believe Scott was first started it started floating the ideas around building the youth center speaking of all these sites before we got to the church and then um
pmic I it's changed a lot changed a lot pic and now it's like really maybe the way we could start this is we could have if they if or when they have the next meeting if someone could go it's just like a Le Zone I think what
happens is some sometimes in the communities they don't know this stuff the parks is already doing some of our limitations so maybe not get one of us there at every meeting or consistent if they're not having their own consistant meetings yet but they once maybe hear some of the ideas they have um
roadblocks or any concerns they have and express them like we are we've talked we would love to have Team programs but we're really Limited in where and to build team programming right now will take us a while because we'd have to get the teams interested right like I I think we've talked like I would love H
Park the team swim during the summer but they would have to build like the trust with the kids to get them all to start coming because they're not used to going to the pool but it's a good opportunity so maybe there's opportunities like that around town but it take takes a long time to task force
so find out next meeting is I mean they reach like so get to the last one so I put her in the I'm just here as a conduit you know but I'm like like I I also don't Committee just to be a committee so I
think you mind comme is yeah so we decide we actually need to be that person would need to be appointed by the select board because they appoint you knowde yeah yeah it's appointed by
the select right but so I should still go I think I think we should like get in touch with like the and say that they interested I think it's a good opportunity and then I think that they would you basically do it for like more
fulltime then that would get some energy around that I think um but also um I will find out I I know Rachel pretty well and so I can just find outting is and then hopefully they get it you know I think they just needs to be some en
around that board person I mean I was I was disappointed two people on the board right and I think it's so is there anybody from the schools representing the schools we I mean discuss I feel like you need
people that are on that board on other boards someone from the school from the parks yeah right basket different baskets just so that so maybe you know I'm I'm happy just to write an email head said we speak about spoke about it we'd like you to get like you know get
pointed to it and if we can put um I will let you know about the next meeting because I think now it's now it's going to be more regular you know or or reach out to reach out to see but they would have to appoint you longer term but maybe it's easier
just to like go to a meeting first um is there still a line item in the budget for youth in the police department no there always was there a youth department vicking mcarthy and then the Youth Department was transferred to the police department
came under of their budget there was a l item for you I don't know what remember the guy Max forbit yeah that's before rcky yeah he was it like when I was he was the youth coordinator and he had a part he a he did a really good job he
did a great job and then what he he programing cting high school kids weekend well there's a resource officer that's back there now community resource officer so that might be probably I haven't looked you know
see where that's that said Jordan see police andol thing and then maybe somebody somebody from the um what are they call it the the Coordinating Committee for the
parishes around I can't remember the name of them no we have been in in talks with him and we're going to do a couple programs in joint with them so we can have that part of the conversation whatever reason I think some the country Reon just
don't I maybe like volunteer get the used ask for us behind with the call yeah get 30 kids to come out volunteer whatever this Saturday we start whatever so um I'll okay
great I love that Blue Hills uh this weekend they're celebrating the 75th anniversary and they're going to be open till midnight with a band or a DJ and ski yeah yeah it's like $25 Saturday night yeah they're doing something Friday night
also but they're gonna have a DJ and um all kinds of little things going on and races and with the schools yeah yeah they did yeah yeah it's h I love the new management up there they're doing a lot they have a great season they've had a great season
they've they've held a lot of events and a lot of them are uh teen driven also so been great yeah CBC project updates Jackson how you feel um as I I guess board saw my letter
making a recommendation we got um earlier in February we we got bids in on the deck off project got 11 bids amazing to get that and the low bidder was fum
Corporation um we had 179,000 budget their uh low bid was 174 400 they're a really good company um they've done some more Milton they did the handicap access ramp for the library they also did
drainage work at hunningham school um I I worked with them on a couple projects in quinsey I do a lot of work in quinsey and I worked on them there and also I contacted the um had Parks Construction for quiny and he's done a lot of work
with them every year they kind of have a set aside budget that they hire them to do you know all kinds of work their their biggest work is masonry and concrete but they also do fencing and erect structures and do demotion
excavation so they've got all the requisite um expertise so I recommend that you guys approve them for a contract and go ahead to execute a contract in the amount of $174,400 to do the the decks of Ky field
I I just also want to not is I wasn't involved in the project um but I put together plans and specs we see plans that you had worked on for the town and bject and no cost to the town um and I
hope I'm done I will help you know if you guys need something in the field but as most happy to do that but I think my participation I guess I one is that that representative you
put together pretty comprehensive specs and so the equipment that you put in there was that they they will be they will be using the beacon beacon the beacon uh question the second question does that fall
more on on you to to to the management of all this project yeah yeah okay um there shouldn't be a whole lot to it there'll be sub and then and then my last question is the budget for that is
79,000 something will that what the rest of that money does that go back to the CPC what what is that what happens with the rest of well first all you got to get through the projects if there change orders or you know any extra work that
has to be done if there's any attending things well don't to advertise anything the ad so I don't know if want to give it back a lot of time doing dugouts the area around it gets
kind of messed up so restoration you have to put if there was like three put it back into fixing the field around that there we go approve
the recommendation of to do the to do the dug know he'll send out board letter to them and then we can get the cont the contracts
out a right a a hopefully stop of of they'll order their equipment and everything ahead of time that's that's a
good time with Kelly it's kind of quiet there but that so this also means still yes right so they yeah yeah it does because we it has to pass the CP oh no
no perfect sorry I got they can't do it now it's too there's about a 12 week There's a 12 we lead time yeah yeah it's all right we waited this long we
can master plan all right so the master plan the update on the master plan it had to go out this project has to go out to RFP I been on in contact with Kevin and MC Milano uh I drafted the RFP well Nick
drafted the RFP I made a whole bunch of comments and edits on it we met probably month ago again to amend it Nick sent it yesterday so it's ready to go the RP hit the streets to to get
it to see if we get get people to come back and that so I'd like to make a motion to approve that RSP gets put out street what what's the
time so I think it'll be about 30 days some that and then um just so you guys you know some of the compan right yeah so I think we'll we'll like also put it I mean it's just like just like a public like PE put out we could get 11
get but the difference is I will say the difference between this exercise and what we did for the dugouts is you're looking for services and what we need to do is it's an it's established so what will happen is once
we get those bids back it will also be under our control that they'll come in and who we believe so it's a little bit different because we we can then evaluate them and we have evaluation citerior so we don't
necessarily need to take the SP so we need to just make sure we pick the right the right consultant to do it knowing our budget being wise but also they come before us and tell us gr so I look forward to that and I we
wanted to get it in early and I wanted to make sure that we would all included too so that we all have input too what is it 16 it's about 80 80 it's about I think it's around heavly
Park heavly Park a good question who put that on did you I did you people who's doing the Ice House myself I facilitated to meet him so
heavily play Nic ask him for he knew it was coming he was very very nice about very nice and so he could be one of two Banks he said he can make a donation I won't tell you exactly how much it would be but make or what I suggest is I will offer the site work I
will donate at least $50,000 rest I do that's what he are so playr people I don't think they real team on the they just want the
money right he stated several times over and over and over again that take the site yeah take the site H you would have a better idea how much site work is or something like that I don't know yeah they
hav and then you got to work with the actual installer whoever gets picked for that and what they need for like I I need you to down us install yeah but if we if they can get
him and work with him and say yeah I need 10 inches taking out Crush gravel brought in public got a long way to go on there oh yeah and another part of that they did um so they did have to hire a
lawyer a law office to submit the 5013c plan and then they try to put the bill in with the money that've already received CPC but Pete you can talk in this that well
when Julia get submitted the invoice to accounting accting said you know there's nothing in the award of them is money the money you know money was Ed for construction not for legal services so they didn't feel they could pay it and
there's been back and forth about that so what's been decided um with CPC and with accounting Nick and everything is that um the CPC committee is recommending another Grant
award to them in this year's Bunch that will Ved meeting in um but when we describe the money what that money is for it'll sa for construction and related costs and that they accouny will accept that invoice as related cost and they
had done so we reached out to Julie was it um Jack Jack Jack I let her know yesterday that was yeah did too she said wait
5800 she said she know law and I'm like you don't know the they they took this and they said oh but that's yeah8 B nothing we knew had we knew should have taken their time a little bit I mean it is work somebody but someone who
was in this town I mean I think the issue is they you know the money that the project will have to go out I'm not sure whether it to the park department or the count and who decides who want but to be oh yeah it's got to be so the money will be held
in the town and the private fundraising they got the 501c3 so they could get private fundraising that is deductible but that money will have to be transferred to the town in order to you know pay for the
project so the town will be putting it out but if they're a 501c3 could they get them directed not from us not from us well from what I'm saying ispc could there's been prec that J 501c through town they could get the
money to do it if it's work on Town property inste by the time told I don't know that we've done any private I'm thinking back to the playground planners and all the
playgrounds that went done I'll just have to see if that was because I know they also have one too so you well like Andrew's field maryy Lane work that stuff I mean you were involved in things like that but yeah
technity money went through the town Al but that's a perfect example what I'm talking about with the county like they in the past year two on top very so just
very people it's not saying no basketball court right so I put this on because I heard from a few folks this week about the what what's happening with was like the second year right and
so I didn't realize that I was in the same year yeah but so I guess the history of Nick put out I think he probably 75,000
4000 I guess when you what would it take to make improvements there so some of the things that i' heard that's obviously like new baskets some of the feedback I got for Andrew was the fence isn't high enough like they would
want skar um and so I'm just curious was there ever an estimate or anything that we would know what it would take and do we think I just looked I just went around there and looked at it like but is but is the pavement doesn't
need to be redone the whole thing so it seems to me that that's he is he said they were originally given 75 and then they were only given 40 is yeah he said um he said they're a little short right now but they I talked to
them yesterday about this they said they have every intention of doing that that project over that yeah because it doesn't have the existing pavement it's fine they just either do a repair or overlay they do
need new uprights and and things and then there was question of you know putting doing some kind of barrier so the ball doesn't go down into the street you do fencing on that oh just one sec they just in
painting everything's not cheap they just went think what they came up was like 60,000 well so I think there's same similar group of folks that are like that were behind the play would be behind that so if they could aison
whatever it costs if it is $60,000 or whatever they needed more money they can go out and get private, to see to see where it goes um I'm just curious like how's that
even like let's Che if you I pulled it up on the gis um it's technically fall fireman's field and techically I think originally was part firehouse and it's all part of one
big Firehouse field the original playground plan they want put a big on they got permission from the SL Board site for a big CommunityWide know there was a contest to name it the kids school
rightous field was selected and the day we started construction on New Field there was a cour injunction that stopped the construction LS that was a couple days ago when all
the playgound done so we took the money that we had raised for playground money you know G be a big kind and so that's but what it has been under the jurisdiction of the select Bo
forever that's where the you used to be right building they took it outy boxing there yeah all the cool kid stuff and now we just building called
the mil news center from there could use that guess MMA at I Paul and I gave them a contract that we've dealt with in Peete um and they reached out to them and everything ready
to go and then the price just got so I think they just kind of put they are to get once again I think it's communication sitting there it's been over a year $40,000 lock up so like
let's move right so I think what I need to do to to push that so I just put this up here I think with the RFP the master plan and and once that gets going in a I think it would be
good to get feedback on some of the such um like townwide public I think that's I know mean I think will end up
doing and mix that in with the facility so so I think we'll probably we can control yeah yeah exactly like I think it would be good I mean it opened my eyes like two months
ago when Bonnie and I went to this home forum and the survey a public survey came up and we saw the results it's good good to hear feedback from the public to about our parks and parks and W um so that we can improve things and such so I
think it'll be a part of that and in Aug this and to your point like I think once we go through this RFP and we need the Consultants we talk to them then we can control the so as we do I believe a year or so ago though
this health department or impacct put out because it was through Tim zinsky yeah yeah I mean maybe maybe it's two years ago and that we were included in that you know I don't know if we can pull in results from that or not um I
don't want be repetitive or one that's just focused on us you know that's a different story but uh we can look to see what what's there also know sure we could get access to that yeah so yes is down Andre seeing who's out nice weather
there's bunch of kids on the baseball field I mean basically standing little thank God the other two were covering in snow the softball and the little kids F it's is stuff that we're GNA have to watch you got to let
this dry out I know leagues are jumping at the bed but Winter's far from over right now it is and gonna get L threes yeah it's just yeah so um that's where I'm at on
that everything else it's just everybody's good yeah really kind of early this year but and we've lot of requests to rent fields from other places and you know Bonnie got one yesterday
it's nobody has room people I think every Town's kind of in the same boat not every town but a lot they're looking for Fields they think has plenty tell them to stay away
and then they all want the high school school up top BR the football they want every they want that hand them off to the schools when they get no no it's just I mean it's interesting because
Jane tried to get that field for soccer polia which they've had for years and they were denied this year and so they they're doing it Academy for a couple days and I'll say this again I'll say this again
Academy I mean everything everything we ask they give no I no but Nick said he has a connection that talk with him to do you yeah I that's another thing
because also we're going to have to get I don't know who at Curry and who at Milton Academy when we do this survey they're going to be going to those towns right I mean to those properties and we just don't want them showing up you know unexpected so we're gonna have to let
car know would they they there just to look at their facilities corre yeah I think we gota be we should like Kevin you should re we should reach out to some of those folks to let them know what's going to happen we have plenty of time before July one I want I want to
hit this thing July one that's why I want but then maybe we can do some Advanced connections communication because Gary Kelly Com we yeah we need to put have them in there Curry Milton Academy um I think
those are the pr yes yeah those I'm not even sure I don't remember if we included V or not I don't know if I don't know if we included DCR [Music] it's interesting
quation thei yes it was we we have program they need more Vi and no no storage up there yeah yeah is a whole yeah but they Supply the bases correct up
there think so that's why it's been a few years for people since they've been up there so I don't know no I don't think they are so that's the issue right so then we can't if we can't store equipment there that means we'd have to supply every team that goes
in and I don't think we we don't necessarily for some of the other teams to that that's a huge B to us then so but I figured I I I told them on the board I was like they're not going to let you put in I figure that I've only been to the baseball I've
seen is it J the softball baseball's not [Music] for all about reasons I think like we do all this planning and bring the right people in the start talking well it's under thec that's the issue too like they want
money for that dealy czy well we have we we should have some relationships that are understood that they should get the field yeah oh yeah all kind of Al together right we
should be should be it's frustrating I'll tell you in the summer pays yeah we just paid a $4,000 $4,000 all in for the year or one program basketball no for basketball
no I'm good all right quick we just finished um the feary vacation baseball clinic we have 51 participants in that program Brendon marsy Greg Lon theity
coaches from Milad and Milton High Greg land in milon high they ran it excellent program they brought in all their high school players to run it we just staffed the checking table so 50/50 split we
cover the cost of the custodians that was it so again both parties can make money that's how they make it they bring in their players for community service otherwise I'd staff it with our staff and we have to pay our staff
um so it worked out very well I told him the only way it's going to work bring in your players um spring basketball starts this Monday close to 300 participants in that ages uh great three to eight boys and
girls Kevin and I are going on field trip Tuesday I think right now we're about 75 kids going and I'm in the process now ready former Urban Ohan sumam sh things down now just get
