Article Positions Article 31 - Athletic Fields Improvements Richard Neumier reviewed the proposed plans for a $1.7 million project to make improvements and additions at the athletic fields. The Recreation Committee feels the work on the tennis courts could be covered by the Recreation Enterprise Fund and the remaining 80% would be from the tax levy. The committee felt 20% was a reasonable amount based on fee generating items and this is a one-time opportunity that won't come up again and should not be missed. Mr. Enrich explained that the $1.7 million will not add on to the debt exclusion, but will eat up a bit of the 5% of the budget that the Selectmen were gong to set aside for cash capital. There was much discussion about the proportion of the cost to be borne by the Recreation Enterprise Fund. All Board members were in favor of the $1.7 million project; however, four Board members were in support of the Recreation Enterprise portion being no less than 20% and Mrs. McKenna was in favor of the Enterprise Fund supporting the full $1.7 million. Class I License Renewal Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the application and issue a Class I license to Auto Engineering, 436 Marrett Road.
