Elfin
Lake
Employees: The selectboard hired
back Evan and Lynn. We are waiting
for other applications that were going to be completed.
Keith has been told that the selectboard would like us to make
recommendations regarding who to hire. We
have not seen any of the applications. There
have been 4-5 applications for the summer program positions.
Discussed the lifeguard salaries and staying within budget.
With a draft schedule that Keith shared at the proposed pay rates, and
each employee working 28 hours per week, the salary would not be over budget.
We would like to put an ad in the newspaper for the lifeguard positions.
The fire department is coming to the lake on June 6 to burn
the pile of brush. There is dirt and
posts and cement blocks that have been dumped by the entrance gate to the lake.
We need to go to the lake and have a clean up day.
Tennis and Basketball courts:
Wilk Sealing said the job is too small for them.
We need to be sure that whomever is doing the job, that it is sealed with
the proper material. At this point,
we are unsure where we will be able to obtain a second quote.
Baseball fields: We
have looked into purchasing a load of clay.
We will need to find trucking.
The barrel that is buried in near the playground needs to
be dug out and filled in. We need to
get the town to do this.
Memorial Day Parade: The
MRUHS band is all set. Fire
department is all set and they were talking to the rescue squad.
Julie is contacting the police for traffic control.
Girls on the Run and baseball will be in it.
The people that we have talked to with antique cars do not want to be in
the parade. We are looking for
people with any antique cars, trucks, tractors to participate in the parade.
We need to talk to Frank Bruce to see if he wants any of his animals in
it. Regarding the parade route,
Joyce and Julie are working on this.
Complaints by Lynn Wade:
Regarding the lifeguard chair, it is buried into the ground.
If they need a step, we can build a step.
Regarding bathrooms being left open for those coming down early, no one
comes to the lake before it is open. The summer rec employees had keys to the
building if needed, but were not at the lake before it was open.
There has never been anything brought to the recreation meeting regarding
any of these complaints.
Next meeting:
Wednesday May 20, 2009
at 5:00
at Elfin
Lake
to do a walk through of work needed.
Meeting adjourned at
7:40
