>> Like I just wrote I didn't read what I was writing. >> I just went over it with you guys that he did write about the >> Do you just want to Do you want to read it? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Somebody has a >> I have a copy right now. >> Thank you. This takes two seconds to read that.
>> Oh, yeah. Oh, wait. Oh, no. It's a back sector. Good point. >> Yeah, his minutes are uh spectacular. Did you notice that? >> Uh, yes. Always spectacular, particularly when I put that in.
I'm sorry. >> I can say that I did my homework before I came to the meeting 10 minutes ago. >> Who's ever responsible for the minutes should get them out earlier. You know, we should >> I point that out. >> I saw them. I printed them on my read them.
The only thing that I can see is under old business. This paragraph would site improvement Daniel's name, but other than that, >> you don't >> I don't think he'll um >> I'll make that correction before I post them since someone could be going
through the archives from now. >> They're actually denial. >> That's the only thing I can say. That's all. Well, that's all there is. There is. It's not the first time I misspelled somebody's name. And
>> I'm the worst speller. So, >> so I'll make a a motion to approve the meeting of Monday, February 2nd. >> Second. >> Second. >> Uh, any discussion? All in favor? >> I >> correspondence that goes to my left
>> or >> correspond. Sure. So, um, Olivia McDonald, uh, reached out, um, about looking to use our concession area. >> I talked to you guys about that last week. We had some questions. I figured we'd invite them in so that they could
help answer. So, >> just start instead of just going straight through me. >> Yeah. Start there. >> I'm Olivia. This is Ashley. Hello. >> Hi. Thank you. >> Ashley, can you say say your last name again? >> Plan. P O. Mark, I'll email you.
>> Thank you. >> I'm just gonna say Ashley P. Okay. In a minute. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. What questions did you all have? >> So, we know that um you're looking to do concessions. Um use our area for that
within there. >> Um there had been discussion or there had been a request on being able to do storage in there. wondered if that was possible. >> I I I know that we store chemicals in
there and there is a bunch of ping pong tables in there. >> Yeah. >> Um did we have questions on storage or how >> storage and a couple other things? >> Yeah, we have logistics because we have to figure out what to do with I think that takes a lot of real estate. The
ping pong tables, correct? >> Yep. >> What else is there's >> folding chairs are in there. Um, right now the pickle ball bin is in there. >> That'll be out. >> All cleaning supplies for DPW in there.
>> In a closet or in the space in general? >> In the space in general. There's no closet. >> Got it. >> Have you guys seen it? >> Um, I've I've seen it. I've seen the general room area. I don't think we don't need a lot of space. We're just looking to not have to put a pop-up tent
top. >> Okay, that's two different things. one is space for storage of uh items that you're selling, >> bags of stuff and whatnot versus using the concession area as itself. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, the storage I think is is one
issue that is not really is there's because every time you use it, you bring stuff in when you depart, you bring everything back out. Is that possible? >> Absolutely. We were hoping to be able to leave some stuff behind like a Tupperware like extra um like case of
water or like a maybe just a Tupperware full of like extra like bags of chips or something like that. >> I think that if you have bins I feel like that could probably be stored right under the counter there. >> He knows more about it than I do. >> Do you know what I'm talking under the windows?
>> Yes, I know exactly. My concern with storing things of value is that room's open. >> It's nothing about if someone wants to take the gear. >> Well, you know, >> it's tough ping pong sometimes. Boy, you know.
>> No, and bins it solves the critter problem, you know. That's so we're not going to have critters. >> Um, that stuff can be moved around. I mean, literally there's like three cases of toilet paper under there and it's unnecessary. There could be two cases downstairs and one case upstairs. You
know that. And that's not my problem. >> The pink phone group. Um >> yeah, we can be flexible. >> We can work around that. The bigger problem was I think the logistics of the u uh
the yoga mats and and this stuff in there that can all >> So we have two ping pong tables in there. They're on wheels. You would just have to wheel them out and put them in the main room. >> Okay. >> Just to give yourselves room in there. >> Yeah. It's going to be like
>> one, maybe two people in there, >> but I mean they take up space. Just you'd probably want them out >> when you're using it. I would just ask that you move them out and then when you're done moving back. >> It would if you don't it would block the sink or uh potential outlets that you might want to like
>> like you just it's just one of those things like it >> they're just invested. >> Yeah. All right. That's easy enough. >> We we don't have any refrigeration. It was originally in the plan to have a refrigerator, but we didn't have the money to do that. So, >> we don't have a stove, right? >> What's that? There's no stove.
>> Water. >> Okay. >> There's running water, which is >> water. >> What kind of items would you be >> candy prewrapped wrapped stuff? Unless we do like a crockot with hot dogs. That's something
that we've done in the past. Or popcorn. >> Okay. Um, >> and then you would just clean up after that. >> It'll it'll be better than >> I'm I was just gonna say I'm sure you're going to leave it >> first time. >> Yeah. I don't think we're too concerned
about I I don't think that what they bring in is more of our concern. It would be more like what's approved as far as because I don't think we have any say. Right. Well, the question we were discussing in my workings with um food service at any
type of event is the board of health approval. Some uh you know, particularly when there's food that's being handled >> and make sure that things are met >> and we can scratch that, keep it all prepackaged. >> We're looking for easiest
>> that you may still want to check in and let them know here's what we're here's what we're doing. Here's >> what's going on. >> Do you have any Steve? Do you have any Steve? Do you want to stop? >> Do you have any thoughts on you have more? >> Do you have any thoughts on that as far
as them? >> Just go into the office and talk to Deb. She'll make sure I do anything. >> Deb Rogers. >> Yeah, we we have like one stop. >> Fantastic. >> I would just b
>> Love it. Love it when a plane comes. >> Yes, exactly. >> Yeah. And it's the our dates are April 11th on Saturdays only. April 11th until June 7th. >> Good. What was the times? >> Um 9 to 3,
>> roughly. >> Starting April 9th. >> Closer. >> April 9th. >> No. Uh yes. April 7th. >> April 7th. >> 7th. 11th. Hang on. So sorry. >> First week of April. Well, and it depends if open >> and not soggy, which
so >> DVD, but yes, April 11th through June 7th. >> I will get in there and shuffle things around >> and then is it locked? Do we need to How do we gain access
if this is approved? >> Um >> I know what like >> both inside doors are locked as well as the outside door. The only door that's open for real is the bathroom door. >> Mhm. >> Um, are those all combos that we can
>> combos? Yes. >> So, can we I hate to ask DBW for more things, but can we have them give them their own code? >> Make a lot of sense. >> Can that lock support more than one? >> So, as you go into the bathroom at the
lady's room, there's another door >> and that's got a key thing. >> You go inside, that other door has got a key. This it would be the same combo. >> Um, >> but we can get that to you. >> Okay. >> And then you could now you're in the main hall. You could open the door and
actually people I don't I don't know about setting tables up or anything, but >> we don't need tables. We're just going to It opens to the outside, right? >> There's four picnic tables on on >> People are fine. They usually just grab stuff and go back to their games. >> Yeah. Okay. Cuz you can sell It was It
was designed to sell out the windows. >> Yeah. But if you're like >> Makes sense. Unless it's freezing. >> 54 and below. There's probably you need a >> reach. >> You need a milk carton. >> Then just open it a little bit. >> Okay, good to know. Do you have other
questions that we can open? >> No, I I I think I was more concerned about what was going to because I' I've done it. I've been where you are and it's like I got extra soda. I want to leave it. And it's like >> don't want to lug it back and forth like >> it in the meantime.
>> Then these guys come in with the car show and it's like well I I lost a six-ack of coke and now all of a sudden we're we're refereeing you know who stole the coke and >> yeah caveat that if something becomes missing we're not liable. Um, and that it's I don't want to use
the word conditional, but you know, we want to make sure that you maintain a certain level of clean cal cleanliness that it will be checked weekly. >> Yeah. >> By people using it and and if there's any concerns that we'd be able to address you >> promptly to make any changes. >> Yeah, absolutely. Mike, you have my
phone number and email, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. >> All right. Uh, so 411 to 61. Did I get that right? >> 67. >> Mhm. >> 417. >> Is there a whole thing? I can send you guys very

>> Um I make a motion to accept uh with uh the approval of the health department and I think the select board. Is that right? Do we go through select board of that? Anyone? >> I I'm not going to >> Let's do this. Um because it's our it's
our home. >> We're in charge of that. So I think just the health department, right? I think once they give the okay, then that's fine. Uh I think from our So uh approval from 4:11 through 6:7 9-3 on Saturdays with approval of the health department.
Um I make that motion. Uh a second on that. >> Second. Uh any discussion? >> Uh no fee for it. Correct. >> No fee on it. >> Great. Thank you all. >> Thank you. >> Appreciate it. >> Wait. All in favor? >> I Okay. Done. >> Just email me whatever the decision is
from the health the board and so I can communicate it out. >> Okay. >> Lovely. We'll let you back to your meeting. >> Thank you so much. >> Have a good season. Um since we're in correspondence, >> ringings. Um, do you guys want to do next since
we're sort of in correspondence and just I think it should or you want to wait for Steve to come back in? >> Do you want to go bills and then we can >> Yeah, we'll do bills and we'll come back. >> Yeah. >> Um, bills and claims.
>> So, we have a pickup from Melo in >> in January. I guess January 7th. If we suspended service, why are they picking stuff up in January? >> It said an on call pickup. It was loaded.
>> Okay. But it should have been We've asked them DPW to lock it. >> It's I think it was locked. >> No, it hasn't been locked. >> Oh, it hasn't been. Okay. So, then that's what it was. >> So, why are we paying for something that they should have locked up that we should, you know, there's a reason. >> Unless it was locked and it was busted
open. I don't know. But that thing >> I had taken a couple of photos. It was >> Well, it was $53. So it was not our full charge of 159. So I think for 53 it's kind of okay, >> but that's what we have.
>> Okay. Um >> and then we have Hold on. Just real this is super fast. Then we have um the purchase for the um water bubbler filler. >> Yep. >> Of 172050.
So those are the two. >> And did you get a um an invoice from uh DPW for the signed yet? >> Did not. >> Um so she's in the process of doing that. I don't know how what the what the total cost is. >> DPW sometimes just uh
does not submit a bill for a warrant. They just kind of tick out of our account. So I'm expecting that to occur. >> Okay. So, we received a charge that will be on the warrant for the water bubbler itself. And I'm thinking the install would be a separate
>> separate separate. Yeah, cuz I think they said 6,000 for the whole thing. >> Yeah. So, if it's 17 for itself for the mechanics, then the difference I'm thinking else whatever it turns out to be. And I have no idea. Uh they said
that they would I know this is kind of jumping ahead, but I'll jump ahead and we'll go back to it if we have to. Uh the sign is done and it just has to they're waiting for the snow to clear to put that up. So it would be nice to have >> nice >> a nice sign up.
>> All right. Um >> the bubbler we're probably going to need filters too. >> Yeah, maybe that's part of the deal, but we'll have to figure that out. >> Usually like a six month. >> Yep. >> Depends probably on the number of squirts. I have no idea. >> Well, I don't have an invoice to
discuss. >> Um, did we figure out the fertilizer that >> the fertilizer? There's I'll talk to you later about >> Yeah, it's a line item. >> It was a a different It wasn't supply. It was a different number. I'll show it to you.
>> No, that's okay. As long as you're good with it >> with the fertilizer. No, but there was another charge that was in January. I don't have it in front of me. I wasn't prepared to speak on it. >> Okay, that's all right. Good. next time. >> Um, do you need me to sign anything? >> I will. I haven't prepared them. >> Okay. When you do, let me know so I can

>> We have that many cows. We're going to be in trouble. >> Okay. All right. Good problem to have. >> You guys know that that that um as you go in on Central Street, those two 4x4s that didn't have a sign there for the past maybe five, six years is going to have a
new sign. It's going to say Central Green. So, just as long as you're aware of you guys are advertising, um I don't know if you put Mansion Field or whatever if you're doing kind of advertising, but the that we sort of approve the name of calling that central green. So, you have the lower the upper
green and that would be the central green. So, just an idea >> when when are they sign up? >> Once snow clears >> hopefully before August. >> Central everybody will get there. They'll see the cars and you got

>> All right. Do we want to designate what field they get or >> They've requested a field. No, no, I know. But do we want to tell them like to use another one because that one's beat up more than another or >> Well, right now DP's We'll deal with DPW. We can always talk to them and DPW
and work it out. Just point. That's all. >> Yep. Yep. Um, >> tentatively, let's give them uh two or no, one easier closer to parking. >> They already picked one. >> They they picked one. >> So, they've already picked one. They've requested one. So, that's >> good. They've requested three. Um, so do
you want to uh make that motion just because you know more about what fields and stuff like that time? That would be easier for me to try. >> Let me find it. >> All right. So, MA Rush, uh, I suggest I don't think that's the right
word, but I put a motion for MA Rush to get approved for field three access from June 2nd to August 13th between the time mostly evenings.
There's a couple mornings. There's zero conflicts on any of them so far. Um uh so that's my motion. Can I get a second? >> Um in a discussion on that u they'll have all the proper paperwork by then, right? >> They'll resub have to resubmit.

And then they're going to move >> and they'll move them back in. >> Yeah. >> I just It's just >> It's too crowded in there. Yeah. >> So, even though there's only one or two people in there, it would just be easier
for them to move them out. >> Awesome. I could probably use some shelving in there, but that's wishful thinking. wishful right now. Yeah. Yeah. Now, if we get if we get like a little budget, that might be a nice hundred bucks to
spend some like stainless steel shelving or something just to >> like rolling shelving or whatever. >> No, just to get the crap out from underneath. So, it you know, cuz there's crap underneath. It's just so if you want to sweep or if you're going to drop, you know. >> Okay. So, there'd be more space.
>> Yeah. Just get everything off the floor would be a lot more presentable. The box will be out of there. You're talking those wire shelvings that are like 2 in off the ground. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. More.
>> Yeah. You're talking about the ones that we have downstairs, >> right? >> Oh, that's where I've seen those people. I was in the magic closet. >> I have not been asked to sh There's no snacks tonight, but I >> Yeah. What now? What? How? I just want I

Newport. She's female. She's good. >> She's dangerous, actually. >> I have some stories about that. I don't know. I just destroyed my lifetime. Um, >> she's probably the same one that killed me. >> Um, >> uh, Shady, and I didn't do anything
about permit today. Uh, I actually did some looking today and I was going to call uh when you were looking around, Mary, there was a place in Wakefield that does awnings. >> Okay. >> It was like Mr. Awning or something. And I I I didn't call just for that reason.
It was like, oh my god. Because it looks like it's a national, >> but it sent me down the rabbit hole of um pergola. Is it pergola? >> Perula pergola >> as as kind of a permanent
structure. Now, I mean, Home Depot sells kits either, which I I'm not advocating for that, but I mean, clearly, we need to do something. Uh, I went the awning way, but the some
of the awning companies have per >> So, perglows are open from the top. >> It's open from the top, but the sun, you have to worry about wind blowing it over. And you know that's to be shaved. >> That may be I mean that's something that
could be a boy scout project. Whatever. >> It would be a great boy scout project, >> but I'm not sure we can go asking for that. I mean maybe we get volunteers or maybe you know James can do, you know, it's probably >> they're easy to do.
>> Yeah, it's 2 by sixes and 4x4s, right? >> 4x4s. four holes and then just connect the dots and we could go that way. I mean, that's just a volunteer that doesn't get us the kids anything on the playground. But
>> I'd be reluctant to impose a task with that on DPW, particularly during their busier seasons, >> and that, you know, there's money in our budget to do that and have somebody else come in and just get it done and not
request their their help uh for something that we want. >> Yeah. Uh I can always put out an ask and see if they're too busy. I know that they were way too busy, but maybe that's something, you know, it's a challenge. I think they likes to challenge.
>> You did see the uh the paint job inside, right? They did. >> Yeah, that came out nice. Someone I don't know who took pictures of that. >> I did. That was great. >> Um All right. Um, so let's >> It makes those shades really pop. >> Nice shades.
>> Oh yeah, we could have our handyman put the pergular up. >> You know, I used to get a screw gun. >> I used to hate that word handyman. Now I I embrace it. >> You relish in it? >> Listen, you get down to Florida, hang a
little sign, you'll be your phone will be ringing off the hook. You could come to my place and your phone would be ringing off the hook. >> I get that a lot. So, it's Yeah. >> Supposedly February is supposed to be Ray's month. And
>> um for clarity, you had something, right? You had a tarp of some kind. >> I have two. They're like um >> like big big. >> Pretty good size. >> Like you'd have to put >> When DPW has put them up for me in the past when they did it on pavement, they
put them in like sand buckets. Yeah, >> but when they've done them on the fields before, they secure them into the ground. >> My only concern would be I mean, they can probably do it really well. >> We wouldn't have to worry about wind,
but they're not cheesy like that other one we had that just blew away. >> These are pretty heavy duty. So, if you want, I can talk to Tracy about asking DPW to put those up for the summer. I I I I mean this we're kicking this around
like the bubbler. So yes, if you could talk to Tracy then >> please. That would be >> Yeah. >> I didn't go to circusents.com, but you know I I thought that might be King's Fair might have a couple of
>> We used to have a tent up there >> really >> when um Circus Murcus would used to use it as their site. >> We lost them. Um >> they went to Spencer Pierce Little. >> No, I know. But I I wonder why they left.
>> Well, the the reason the stated reason is um with the construction of the fieldhouse, the placing of stakes for the tents could have interrupted the irrigation line. >> That was the stated reason.
