Mr. Rogers reported that the programs scheduled for the morning of
February 20th had to be cancelled because a Junior Varsity Basket-

the Winter Recreation Programs would soon come to an end and asked
Corr.mdsaion members what their feelings were regarding the continua-
tion of the adult program. It was agreed that since this program
had been so enthusiastically received it should be continued.
~Responsibilities of Director"
The requirements as approved by the Recreation COmnUssion on January 7,
1971 were discussed and it was felt that an additional change would be
necessary in order to clarify item III -B. on page 2. The following
motion was made by Mr. Biasotti:
II I so move that we change III-B. of the Responsibilities of
Director to read: 'Director will present to the Co~ssion a
written monthly report of the previous month's activities no
later than the 10th of the present month.' ·
Motion seconded by Mr. Schlathaue. Unanimously carried.
Karate Instruction
Mr. Biasotti reported that he had spoken to Mr. Bruce Reynolds, Business
Manager, Wappingers Central School District, and Mr. Reynolds said that
as long as a bonafide youth program is being run there is no objection .
to a charge being made for instruction. He said that overtime for
janitor service would have to be considered but there would be no fee
for use of the building. Mr. Rogers was requested to contact the Karate
Instructor regarding his fee and will report to the Commission at the
next meeting.
