Received
I am requesting that the Board authorize the reconstruction of the third base
dugout on the Senior League 2 field at Robinson Lane. The condition of the dugout has
deteriorated over the winter to the point where it now represents a safety hazard.
Opening Day is scheduled for April 18"' and we would like to have the work done
prior to that. Eileen Manning is currently in the process of obtaining 3 estimates based
on the blueprints for the third base dugout that was recently built on Holt Field. We hope
to have these estimates, even if some are verbal, in time for the next Town Board
meeting.
The work will be paid for out of the Parkland Fund.
Thank you, A1,, -,7m"
