Guttag, Chris Skocay, and Jack <br /> Cunha from Skateboard/Inline Park Committee <br /> <br />AGENDA: <br /> <br />1. The meeting minutes of January 20, 1999 were accepted with one addition under item #6 <br />regarding fee increases. The youth league fees are effective July 1, 1999. <br /> <br />2. Little League <br />Bob McConnell, the President of Lexington Little League, stated that Little League does not <br />object to a fee increase and feels his organization is partners with Recreation. However, the <br />group would like to be included in the discussion when fees are proposed to be increased so that <br />they can voice an opinion. Bob feels that a fee increase of 60% is extremely high. Bob <br />mentioned the many projects Little League and Recreation have worked on together in the past <br />as well as some future projects. He would like Karen Simmons to sit down with Little League <br />when she reviews the costs associated with the increase, and not to be informed after the fact. <br /> <br />3. Skateboard/Inline Park <br />Olga Guttag presented the attached layout for the proposed skateboard park. The <br />Skateboard/Inline Park Committee has not yet decided on the type of material for the ramps, <br />either wood, cement or fiberglass. Tom Noble has just completed a park in Sudbury that cost <br />approximately $50-60,000. Jon stated that Karen Simmons did not support the stake location <br />nearest to the softball field. She does support the park itself and the general location. Karen also <br />feels that the fence opening would need to be relocated because the existing opening would not <br />allow proper entrance to other fields at the center.
