Guests:

Meeting began at 6:32.
Gene Bourne has indicated to
Sue D. that he wants to resign from the recreation committee.
Lake
:
Rotella’s has swim platforms. A
9x7 polyethylene swim raft is $950. The
present members agree that we should purchase this.
Sue will discuss this with the Select board.
Projects to be completed at
the lake this year: sidewalk will be
added on in front of concession stand around to the bathrooms to make it more
accessible. Small equipment will be
necessary. Sue will discuss with the
Select board any issues that may occur with bringing in such equipment to
complete this job. Fencing will be
replaced. Rodney Ward will be
helping with these projects. Discussed
making repairs to the road into the lake.
Discussed having a
designated lifeguard area/space so everyone will know who the lifeguard on duty
is. Lifeguard should also have
assigned duties that will assist in maintenance of the lake, particularly on
days when there are no patrons.
Recreation Field:
Discussed additional items that will be purchased for the playground
area. We can order a picnic table.
Other possibilities were discussed were two new basketball hoops for the
tarred area or a set of bleachers for the baseball area.
Tom will research prices for bleachers.
We will ask Chuck Watts to look at prices for hoops.
Lisa will get current prices for picnic tables.
April 21 and April 28 have
been set as dates for field clean up. Tom
is stepping down as the
Wallingford
representative for baseball.
Keith Shelvey will be taking over this position and Ben Morgan will be
helping him. Tom indicated they have
about $2000 in the account. He will
help them out if they need it. Rodney
indicated he’ll be willing to help in any way.
Other Business:
The present members
discussed member attendance. Sue
will contact members that have not been at meetings and indicate that all
members need to be responsible for committees.
If members to not want to participate, we will need to find replacement
members. Perhaps some committees
could be recreation field maintenance (3 people), recreation field development
(2 people), and lake (2 people). Sue
will also chair the planning of the Memorial Day parade.
Sue and Lisa will be on the lake committee.
Tom will be on the field development committee.
Lisa will be willing to help out as needed.
Sue indicated that she will
be able to oversee the Memorial Day Parade again this year.
It will be on May 28 this year. We
should begin addressing planning of the parade in mid-March.
Tom indicated he will run a concession to raise money for Little League
after the parade.
Next meeting date:
February 27 at 6:30
