Barnett carrying 1/4 million a year, next 5 years for these purposes. 1/4 million deleted this year by Town Manager. B. Dailey feels Town Meeting should consider each of the larger pieces individually. D. Williams feels he would not come in with request for bond unless a large important piece "hatches". Recreation Committee members joined meeting: J. Urig, D. Wells, R. Eby, C. Wilson and J. Halverson. Projection on next 5 years attached, with explanations on back (2nd sheet) . Dave A, Wells feels the $60,000 all-weather track would pay for itself in 8-10 years by eliminating that much manpower from DPW! 16-20 meets per year. Because we are the only town in Middlesex League without an all-weather surface, the dirt surface becomes negligence at some point if someone is hurt. DPW costs $5,000 per year to maintain according to D. Wells. Town Manager has suggested deletion of this project. On question from D. Wells, B. Dailey stated there will be no bonding under which to include this project in "83. D. Wells stated that the $500,000 in '85 for construction at Lincoln St.-Worthen Road is "pie in the sky". (Why 15,000 for study, plans and specs?) 80-90% of expenditure will be for surface. B. Cataldo says study already done calls for venting of methane gas (already installed) and 15 inches of gravel before final surfacing, so why another study? Expense for Recreation Committee is level funded for '83. Athletic Field Lighting was the same area where we had the foundation difficulty several years ago when it was proposed for $70,000. Recreation Committee members about split even on fees: 1. They are fair 2. Everything should be free Bob Cataldo questioned need for 120' ladder and Bill Dailey questioned need for f. compressor. P. Hall 4I - to get answers to these questions for next meeting.t, Respectfully submitted, Q ---V4 3 : P. Hall, Acting Secretary
