Chisholm <br />Richard L. Neumeier <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />RECREATION COMMITTEE MINUTES <br />May 19, 1999 <br /> <br />Members Present: Dick Neumeier, Don Chisholm, Pam Varrin <br />Staff Present: Karen Simmons, Brian Gilbert, Matt Casparius <br /> <br /> <br />AGENDA: <br /> <br />1. The meeting minutes for March 9, March 29, and April 21, 1999 were all approved. <br /> <br />2. Little League Fees <br />Bob McConnell was not able to attend, but would like this issue to tabled until the June <br />Recreation Committee meeting. This was approved although Dick raised issues that he would <br />like to see considered, including having the committee consider raising youth rates 3 or 4 times <br />the current rates. In addition to that, the committee would like to try and work out an agreement <br />that if phase II goes through, then the committee would ask for additional funds from youth <br />groups. Karen is concerned that yes we could raise rates now, but there is no guarantee that the <br />funds would not be appropriated in another way by Town Meeting. <br /> <br />Bob McConnell of Little League will be at the next meeting to give his input on fees. Also, Dick <br />would like to know how many scholarships Little League gives out, and whether or not that has <br />changed as fees increase. <br /> <br />Don feels that we need to review the fee structure and that if we are going to be making drastic <br />changes in it, then we should include fees for school teams to cover the costs of field <br />maintenance. It is noted that Dick is reluctant to support fees for school athletics. <br /> <br />3. Capital articles <br />Article #30- Brian is starting to get the primary designs for the irrigation system at Harrington. <br />He also needs to hire engineers to do a survey to delineate the wetlands area, which will cost <br />about $1500.00. Karen will see if the Recreation Enterprise has the funds to pay for it. As a part <br />of this whole process, Brian needs to meet with the Playground group, John Moynihan, and the <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br /> <br /> <br />
