Meeting minutes for meeting on April 5th, 2010



Meeting was begun at the municipal building at 7:00 pm at the picnic
table because no one was present to open the building. A brief rain
shower caused us to move the meeting to J and J pizza.



The following commission members were present:



Barbara Holstein

Mary Kopetsky

Meg Snyder



There were two other people present for the meeting:



Mayor Barbagallo

Devon Lyons



First action was to vote in Devon Lyons to fill the needed open
alternate seat. Meg, Mary, and Barbara all voted: YES.



The Easter Egg Hunt was a success and all agreed to send Shop Rite and
the Fire Department thank you notes.



Middle School 6-7-8 grade Social was approved at $400.00. The DJ has
been contracted for $300.00…the company has been highly recommended by
several community members. The remaining $100.00 will be used for food
and drinks, however there are several parents volunteering to help with
food and drinks. Kim C has given us use of a popcorn and hotdog
machine. Diane B. is working on donations of condiments and hotdogs.
Barbara will be talking to Shop Rite about donations of remaining items
that are needed, or will purchase them using the Shop Rite card.
Barbara will check out the Recreation storage room for paper products
to use at the social. Barbara will see Toni Lu to request a check for
the DJ to be ready on the 16th.



The school board to continue through May 25th approved adult Volleyball.



Meg will hold Reading and arts and crafts on April 27, 2010, which was
approved at last town meeting.



Clay for 206 fields was approved at $1670.00 and has been delivered to
the fields.



206 field Nets - Discussion took place there were concerns that field
is not used enough, previous project grant for bleachers at field has
not been completed, and the brush has been cut back significantly at
this time to help with retrieving fouls balls. Also, recreation
commission would consider funding for the purchase of “lost” baseballs
as alternative to the expense of a net in the future if needed.

Vote to fund the Nets: Barbara- No, Meg –No, Mary – No, Devon –No.
