all right welcome everyone tonight we're at the community preservation committee meeting we're in hybrid at uh land use meeting room um St this Joan we'll start with you we'll introduce ourselves and go around the table Joan herek Dennis
Clark Chris Pratt da BR and welcome everybody in the crowd all right H so is there any public comments I don't see anybody online or anybody in the
audience so we'll move on we do have a project application in front of us tonight it's continued pickle block ports at Wally Park application two it's a second updated submission for six cours lights and a pavilion all right
Mr Wally could you unmute please who's there I can do it can you hear me John I can put him in the waiting room can you ask him to unmute him yeah that so we're gonna give Randy permission to present tonight since he
is the sole person here from Park and W did help on the application and knows what's going on so we can ask questions if how about now okay so do
you feel Randy White would be worthy of presenting this application John oh please okay I was thinking that would be fine um just making sure uh so Randy why don't you come on up and we'll start with the uh the
process yeah get in a comfy chair one of the new chairs to answer your initial question I I think that the summer of 2025 was was with the uh understanding that it was going to go to the town meeting in January and it didn't happen because the
application says January or in the spring I'm here we just St your name and address Brandy white 17 P thank you yeah so we had a question earlier on the application it was stated that the project could be completed by the summer
of 2025 but we questioning the timeline on that um it's probably not likely due to the waiting period and
construction process what do you say John is it possible any remote possibility that it could be done this year yeah I think it could be why couldn't it be well I don't know I know there's some problem with Randy what is the problem
with the surface I think it's just the issue of of lining up company you know getting the bids out there getting it approved in May a town meeting and then you got to you know go out to bid and by the time the bids come in and what I'm
hearing for lead time with the companies that uh you know I think we'd be wishful thinking if we said the fall of 2025 maybe the fall of 2025 I mean you can work up in through November uh so that's a possibility but I don't know
about summer you know if we're talking June July a no it probably would um if we did get it it would be in the fall for sure the fall yeah okay but still in
2025 yeah the summer seems like it's a little bit unrealistic even the fall seems a little bit uh aggressive and you know you just set people's expectations for one thing and then when it doesn't happen they wonder why things don't
happen as they were supposed to like the splash park like the splash correct so so you want to modify that to uh as soon as possible as soon as possible would be the correct
be wise just try to keep people's expectations at a reasonable Place anything government takes a lot longer than right expected okay so Randy why don't you
describe the project for us a little bit give us an overview of what we're looking at here so location is the far end of Wally Park where there's there's already bathrooms down there uh looks to be an area that you know is soccer field that doesn't get really used for soccer
because they use the fields up top uh and I'm at Wally Park almost every day with dogs so I kind of see what goes on there it's a great area to put the pick of ball the courts because one of the issues that you see coming about now is noise and really the only the only
tenant that we'd be you know neighbor is is Motocross so the noise noise makers of the world yeah noise makers so so it's a great location the other thing it's set down low so you know the question you had about playing Outdoors uh wind is the biggest thing that affects pickle ball you know rain
obviously stuff like that but the ball only weighs an ounce so it can be blown around pretty good uh it sits down fairly low and I've been down there you know kind of checking it out and when it's windy up top uh it's a lot less windy down the bottom there because it's surrounded by trees but the trees appear to be far enough away from where the
courts are going to go where the blowing of leaves into the court which then need to get cleaned out uh there's some courts around the area such as Mitten egg Park great location there's trees overhanging it so when we would show up the play there everyone's you know get backpack blowers blowing leaves out of
the things it's tough to play on that so it's it's a great location uh you can situate the courts appropriately so the sun's not going to be in your eyes and I can't remember if you want a a I guess a north south orientation so it's going to be six qu
222 uh fencing around it fencing in between uh it's one of the things that uh people always request because you know balls going back and forth across courts and it just slows things down uh bathrooms are there the lighting uh I
mean my own personal preference I play during the daytime but I'm retired but you get a lot of people that get out of work and they want to play right and in the evening you go over to Westfield and it's it's packed over there with all the people who can't play during the day uh so there's going to be LED lighting and
the other thing is the Pavilion um that you know more and more courts are finding that hey you know summertime people playing you need to be able to get out of the Sun and so so so that's the you know the the location and as far as the description uh
parking well there's parking there already if you look that as you go down there on the on the right hand side uh I think there's about 20 parking spots there and then there's some more as you go down the bottom where there's a little uh Circle culdesac what we want to call it like there's probably about
10 or 12 there so so there's a good amount of parking there really you know you figure if you got you know you got six courts 24 people theoretically can play at once uh but there there's enough parking there's at least 30 something spots down there uh bathrooms are a big
thing you know uh flush toilets as opposed to Santa cans and I'm not sure those bathrooms have ever been open I've never seen them open they painted in there so know they been open at least once at least once so uh yeah you know the court surface will
be like a tennis court surface uh colors are up for grabs whatever park and rec decides they want for call repts now are you gonna have a timeline on when they play and stuff down there or it really isn't it's kind of you know one of the things that was suggested in
with the lighting is uh in and I see it over in Suffield Suffield has six courts behind I guess it's the middle school now it used to be their High School uh and they have a a Time Pad that it'll the lights will stay on until 10 o'clock at night then at 10 o'clock at night
that time pad goes off but uh starting you know at whatever time you can hit the pad you get I think it's 45 minutes of of lights and then uh you got to go back and hit it again a buzzer goes off you hit it again so as far as the play goes that concern energy too because
they're only only on when you're there using it so yeah uh and I do notice that you know some people say what about you know kids you know skateboarding blah blah blah you know the police Drive in there I mean during the the time of the Comet going over we were going up there
to see the comic because it's a great place to view it from and we had you know a police officer show up and say excuse me what what are you folks doing sitting here you know out in the line we explain to them so so they do Patrol it you know because someone said oh the kids could turn the lights on well you
know after 10 o'clock they're not going to turn on so no but they have summer concerts and stuff down there too so that's why I was wondering yeah the conts are up top Under The Pavilion there right yeah and you're way down way down below yeah yeah you you don't even see them you know from from up top there
yeah uh and I don't think the the noise you're far enough away that like I said the Motocross is still going when the concerts are going Some Nights on Wednesday nights uh and what we understood is the original application for pickle ball quarts would be
withdrawn and this would be in place of the that's correct so that would be done at town meeting also is that how that works yeah how much was the um other application for that pickle ball I think it was 240,000 okay so this would be an
additional 400 30,000 yeah I mean it's adding lights it's adding Pavilion it's a different surface it's not full 670,000 on top of what EV spent it's gonna be you know and the other thing we talked about when we met with with Rick and John over the summer was the cost
and and you know I had come up with some numbers not not as high as but uh you know we agreed and John said hey you can always give money back right but if we don't have enough uh then you you know then you got to go back and go through the
process uh so I really think that if we you know goes out to Bid And there's some people out there that really wanted that we possibly could do it for less than this in talking to Rob LEC some of the numbers we got uh L Associates who I'm sure you're all familiar with uh
they just worked on the project in in um wilham and they did six courts uh they did not do lights because of the fact that the location it's in I think there's neighbors around and there was some talk about they weren't sure what what what else was going to go there or
take over the school uh but the pricing we got came a lot of it was Rob helped out because he's worked on other projects as well okay you know to get the project so you got a good ballpark then yeah and then I you know I called I worked for the town of agam so I spoke to the town of agam Park and Rec
director uh I got some idea on pricing there I talked to a Springfield I called them up to see what it cost for them to do their courts uh Southampton put two courts in and the town manager at the time was a friend of mine who who was their Town manager not it's not there
any longer but so I got money prices from him as far as the cost of Courts and what to expect and they all use different contractors so we were kind of getting a ballpark figure of what we thought the cost was going to come in at uh you know in talking to awam it was it was done differently because they did a lot of In-House uh they use their Town
engineering they used some of their DPW okay so that obviously that was you know cost cutting right a lot they they you know they did it that way so yeah uh and they just put two more courts in but from the time they put their first four courts in to the time the second two courts in uh it was and that was like
five years ago it was a sizable difference in the amount of what what it cost you know as it's you know supply and demand uh there's a demand for it and and costs going up could be still going up too it could
still be going up yeah we [Music] don't okay then the difference between these courts and the other there going to be more of them the surface to be this is this is what you know under the you know USA pickle ball they only
recognize two surfaces in which you can really play tournaments on and one of them is is concrete uh which is a you know a post tension concrete which is expensive it has a longer lifespan but it's it's more expensive and the asphalt with the you know the surface covering
on it which is what this is the other surface was a tiled surface uh and you don't see them anywhere around uh but it's like a snap together plas tile okay what happens is unless you had a perfectly flat surface like this any place where you have any kind of a
whatever it's a dead like playing on a basketball court with an oldwood floor and the ball goes and it's it's really frustrating I played on one once down in Florida and for like 10 minutes and then and it wasn't there the next year it was gone so so it was a different surface
that's all the Pavilion yeah that's part of this because you need a pavilion for just for shade I mean you know for more and more of the you know the pickle ball courts that are Outdoors are putting up Pavilion agam just put one up this past
summer uh you know this facility and I think you know Rick John myself RAB we agreed that it's kind of has everything that you'd want in a pickle ball facility the whole package it's the whole package so that's going to be on a concrete slab that was the on a concrete
slab yeah yeah I mean other place have done one thing and then they go back you know and do another one do another part of it another part of it uh and this was kind of Allin one well the pr is a double s tennis cours or are they stricted okay they're
dedicated pickle ball yeah you can go the other way around sometimes if you wanted to line it off and and whatever but you're seeing less and less of that there more because seems like tennis you know he's just not as yeah not as not as popular pickleball has a really fast
learning curve and you can give the person a paddle and you can get them out there and uh within a half hour you know they're out there having a good time and it's and you know hitting the ball back and forth and and getting some exercise and you're not covering as big a court uh I don't know the exact dimensions of
a tennis court but I think it's like 80 feet by 40 feet whereas a pickle ball CT is 44 by 20 okay and usually it's played doubles you very seldom see people uh singles you do occasionally but not a lot okay it's mostly doubles but it's it's a very quick learning curve and if
someone has played tennis or table tennis uh it's even a faster when I you know I teach I got my certification uh five years ago and when I do clinics or whatever I always ask does anyone anyone here play tennis and you can usually see the people who play t table tennis or
tennis it's really quick is that I hand and the idea uh but every everyone seems to enjoy it and you can kind of gear it to whatever ever level you want to and that's what I ask where do you want to go with this you just want to learn the rules learn how to play I see a lot of you know couples out there a lot of
families out there uh playing and having a great time you know so young people old people the whole Spectrum everything well it used to be you know the joke was that you know was just for old people and people that play tennis I have friends that still refuse to play uh because they said oh when I get old they
said you know then I'll I'll pick up pickle ball but and now you're not seeing that any better some of the some of the best you know pickle ball players are former tennis players in fact I down in Connecticut you've heard of Ivan lendel oh yeah right well Ivan lendle is
a huge were there yeah he he won he won a lot of tennis tournaments but Ivan lend is a big big uh pickle ball player and and he's kind of local down in Connecticut I have friends who play with him and played against him whatever so yeah so you're seeing a lot of that you know a lot of the athletes pro athletes
are you know picking it up so uh you know it's very social also as far as the social event people say well you know one of the one of the the concerns was that you know if I go down there and I'm not good I'm not gonna be able to play and it's usually just the opposite
someone will say you know come on out this is you know we're going to give them our time to teach you how to play or play some games you may not want to play all day with that person right but you're G to give them the time to to do that and no one's saying no you can't play I've never seen that and I've played all over the different courts so
that's great yeah it's very it's very social uh uh game a lot of the people you see you know they they they do cookouts they do potlucks that they bring to the courts over at agam Westfield's the same thing uh there's a group of people in Westfield they go on vacation together now group of women
that they go play pickle ball in Florida and go golfing so came yeah good for them sounds awesome yeah well I think the residents of South been looking for this for quite a while now so well I kep hearing about it because you know anyone who knew that I played pickle ball they
would come to and say hey what's how come you know or or I'd see select people and they'd say Hey you know I got people coming they're they're always calling about pickle ball pickle ball how many years ago when we did the survey and pickle ball and the dog park
on top top open SP open space your FL right that one of the original 201 seven years yeah I I see a lot of people from Southwick over in Westfield not so much agam because Westfield's more convenient but I still
still see some over there playing and I'm sure when it comes time for town meeting you know there's these these sites team reach Sign Up Genius are you familiar with it it's a it's a site it's used a lot of times for for events or Sports where you can sign in so you know who's going to the courts
today who's going to agam today at 8 o'clock to play Pick ball and Westfield was the first one to have it and on their team reach I can remember when there was like 87 people 97 I I think if I look on my phone now I think there's 800 and something people now as part of their team reach I think awam is into
the two three 400 people so uh when it comes time for town meeting I I always will send something out to Southwick residents because everyone wants to come to help but I said unless you're a southw resident it really doesn't it doesn't really help us but so would this be under General unreserved
funds do we have do we have enough in the other in you don't have enough an open space space or Recreation so I think we would take it off from General Reserve because there's the most money in that account
can I ask how much money is in that account over a million was 1,200,000 I think yeah it's different every time I look but it was yeah no I'm just curious I know you know 3% goes into it from our
taxes each years it's not 3% of your taxes it's 3% search charge on the taxes that you pay after the first 100,000 assess right so it's it's not that big of a portion but the state gives us or matches some of those funds yeah and
it's been pretty decent lately everything that we've done with it here in town so so you looking for a motion or we still have a lot of discussion on this no I'm not discussing anything anybody else any else have any questions comments concerns right I'll make a motion go ahead Dennis I'll make
a motion to bring this to town meeting I'll second all in favor Joan I Joan Dennis I Chris I da okay oh we're looking to have this come out
of the general unreserved um an meeting do we know may yeah I don't know the date yet if it passes until meeting when would you do you know construction don't to I don't know what
the process is here in town as far as getting bids out to conservation listed in here is it within a jurisdictional area for conservation and yeah it still needs to be permitted it is so that not much just be know that should just be an
RDA shouldn't have to be notice of intense the wet winds down behind it there yeah there's a river yeah there's a river I think there's a beaver down I'm sure there is to live on the other side you see that brown house you can see it behind it yeah no I only like I
said I go to that field and I walk that low field and when I see the woods all flooded during the dry spell it's not because of the rain right right okay Randy well thank you very much for stepping in that very much appreciated very informative thank you yeah thank
you Randy thanks John okay moving on to the library y revitalization project is Linda on she is here with very B very bad video quality can everybody hear me yeah yeah
you're fine okay okay great um yeah so I gave Sabrina a letter just in case I wasn't able to make it here tonight um so I don't know if anybody's had a chance to read it um long story short what we're looking at with our CPC project is um a part of the project was
we were going to have the prior uh maintenance director he said he could do all the groundwork for the project um and obviously you know there was a turnover in staff and um it's not something the current maintenance department has the um the ability to do
so what we would ultimately need to do is um ask for more funds to complete um the the groundwork of the project um and we did get a quote from
somebody and it's obviously going to be a significant more amount but um when I was discussing this with our Board of Trustees I was kind of saying well probably what we'll have to do and I talked with Sabrina fill out another application go through the process again
um but one of our board members brought up their idea and I wanted to run up by you I don't even know if it's possible or if it's something that we can do um she suggested fundraising the rest of the amount that that we need um to complete the groundwork of the
project um and so none of the groundwork was included in the application the application just included like um you know tables the physical structures things like that um so just wanted to bring it up see if it was a possibility
if there was any questions I don't even know if this is something that we could do but just to kind of check that box off just to see if if it is a possibility yeah I mean you're always welcome to fund raise to supplement your project that's it's very much encouraged I would
say um I think it's a great idea yeah if you tried that and it worked out before you had to come back I think that might even save you some time you know okay perfect yeah because I was you know we're we're a little short staff so I was you know in in terms of trying to get another application to you guys by
next month it's you know TimeWise it's just not going to happen um so yeah I will I will talk with that person um and I'll also talk with um somebody from town to kind of see what the parameters are for fundraising what we can and
can't do to just get an ideaa um but just wanted to give you guys an update run that by you and it sounds like that was potentially easy fix yeah that' be great okay perfect all
right all right thank you Len thank you so much have a good night you guys too yeah review the facilities Grant agreement for the town hall facade renovation and preservation the facilities this

back to this yeah he was just reading the letter so this looks good other than the six name here I believe that she's no longer um on the board on it yeah
right scratch her off vacant or vacancy ohand yeah I replied to the email any moons ago that it was I like that you did have this ready a long time ago yeah I had a already in time to
submit we meeting right do you you like type all this by yourself or anything um what I did was I copied previous years and just kind of like still in that F in there's a couple of variables that need to be changed
than that stuff yeah it's pretty consistent it is consistent do we want to add anything to next year or say the next year plan general statement about supporting implementation of the master plan yeah I thought
that's well I mean that's that's to I mean we support all projects that come in that would support that I mean yeah specifically just by default that happens but I mean people it's up to people to bring in the projects that support the master plan for us to fund but like the
like how we're going to do more with the housing um we could expand on that well we would like to maybe think of request applications for housing which we've tried in the past yeah but maybe make it a more formal Thing by putting it on
here I know that some people are pursuing yeah ideas but nothing's come forward so they are they will be yeah okay so getting a new manager coming this year
so yeah yeah so we're in the middle of some turnover yeah a little bit Yeah you want me to add something I think next year like it looks good yeah I mean it's nobody reads
it anyway yeah that's it's pretty much true that's the spirit nobody cares Dennis [Laughter] okay we do have a CPA taxpayer guide
in trifold brochure format which I think is very nice long time coming um gives a breakdown of how your tax is used and collected and SE charge what
the sear charge means so I stole this from a couple of town and I've been trying to figure out when we can send it out um my intent was to send it out with the the tax bills um but I talked with Jess and she said
that's not a good time it's probably a good time to send it out with this town census which is in like June or July um so we could send this out and this basically just gives people information on how CPA funds are distrib
during during their taxes and also um lets them know if they're eligible for complete exemption and how to do that and that goes through the assessor's office there's some information on there that I don't know that I would need the assessors to let
me no and also it does say from the assessor so I would need to work with the assessor's office to finish it um but I wanted to you know run this by you guys first to see if it's something that we should you know do absolutely yeah I
like it very much I know Jason was um concerned sort with the amount of money people are paying in taxes and stuff so um this is something that we can do right this isn't one of the places this isn't one of the places they're paying
too much um sorry at the end of it would you guys be open to adding like a call to action right because we're telling them how we are taking some of their tax money and how we can spend it but giving them a call to action like do you have a community outreach project idea go here
and then it could be a link to the website you can submit an application because then this way they feel like oh like I can control more money too and empowering and get them involved we've always had ideas of how to get the word out to the public putting it on the to Prior you know
putting it in the newspaper things like that but I think this is a nice spot you're not on most people get the newspaper anym you're online or something I think maybe a little bit maybe a little bit more history on
like the matching funds that we do get a lot from the state I mean there's a mention of it on the backside about the last page but maybe just like how about a total of what we received so far I like that John yeah
that would look good yeah uh from the state or from state from the state yeah just to show that it's a good investment they're using their money wisely by investing it into this so that they're they're receiving way more percentage than they
are anywhere else in the world um so charge revenues along with matching funds from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts so in there but under there you want me to write total number total number
is okay okay that's what your s it's Inception in Southwick the state has you know kicked in or matched 690 billion dollar yeah trillion dollar
but make sure you write that down don't write that [Music] down down here and that one over 60 years under 60 years oh under okay thank you okay it's a small thing but on the
first page says City oh y told City yeah Town yeah I stole said agam I know right
stole this from agam no I'm um the application forms and things like that I borrow from other places and sometimes iot to switch ham to Southway but they had a lot of good stuff okay peer poaching is okay but you did a great job thank you really great
I'll do those edits see what the assessors have to say about this they might just shoot it down the thing is like when no I like to see it go out with the tax form because that's when a lot of confusion comes because on your tax on that pie chart it says Community
preservation 3% which it's not yeah so I think that confuses a lot of people to think they're paying 3% of their taxes are going towards this but is not the case yeah and it's been like that forever I know I wanted to set it out but with the taxes but Jess is saying
it's just not a good time I think the price is just insane and then okay and then the taxes I think they've already gone out do they change though before if you send them out with the taxes you know does what change the
amount I don't know do you know what I'm saying yeah does it cost more or that yeah exactly that's what I'm wondering if it's going to change for the year or it's gonna you know what I mean I think what happens is with the taxes they um they send the information out and a
company does it prints it out folds it stuffs it oh whereas here at the census it they I think they do it more in and it would just cost like a crazy amount I mean we could probably cover it with our administrative funds we could probably
do that find out how much it would cost to yeah we might be worth it because like Chris says people look at their taxes and automatically think they're paying 3% the CP yeah yeah we've tried to have
that amended and you know that's a select board to have that amended and it's just never happened yeah see how much it would it will cost at the very too much to have them at the Town meetings there's people who come actually care so then they can have
that's true the voices like when they walk in the door you know yes you can yeah this can be distributed yeah throughout like the town meetings or something that's a good idea can even be put online um but like I for me I like
to have something in my hand and yeah something's in in mail it you're like oh my I do put it on the fridge and like a bunch of stuff and go my fridge exactly or it's on the
fridge for a year you go oh about this I don't even know what you're talking about yeah okay so I will make edits okay so I think we think that we made that nice was already nice to start with perfect yeah
okay we'll move on to the repair the slate roof the PO of the police department project has been completed they're returning 4,465 25 the general unreserved fund so we do have a letter email it's just a letter it says you know that
