CORRESPONDENCE A letter was received from Cathy Versace requesting permission to use the Robinson Lane Fields for a Softball Tournament to be hosted by the U. S. Association for Blind Athletes the end of July or first of August. It was decided to give permission for the use of the fields either the 1st or 2nd weekend in August but there was a concern about liability insurance. It was suggested that we get more information regarding this. It was noted that maybe the Association might have applicable insurance. It was decided that a letter would be sent to Miss Versace giving permission for the fields and rest rooms and also state the rules of the Park. It was also requested that she contact us to discuss the insurance. A letter was received from the Hughsonville Fire District approving our request to use their facilities for our Summer Program running from June 26th to August 18th. A letter was received from the Chelsea Fire District granting permission to use the School grounds for our 1989 Summer Program. They also stated that the phone and water facilities will be available as was last year. It was also noted that one basketball backboard is in need of repair. Mr. Vorndran and Mr. Reimer will check this out. The Secretary will be asked to see that a Certificate of Insurance is sent prior to the start of the program. A letter was received from the participants of the Winter Aerobic program held at Myers Corners and instructed by Gina Poulious. They were very satisfied with the program and would like to see it continue twice a week next season. ~ l ~~f Page 2 Recreation Minutes May 18, 1989 A memo was received from Folami Gray Executive Director of the D.

He also requested permission to run a concession stand the same as last year. They would not use our building but will set up their own stand. QUIET ACRES The Park is in terrible shape after all the rain. It is a shame after all the time spent in fixing the field. We will have to do all the work over again. We still have to get some telephone poles or railroad ties to make a parking area at the bottom of the hill. The electric and water have been run into the building. A new gate is being made by the Highway Department. We still need to put storage shelves in the building for supplies for the Summer Program. CHELSEA BOAT RAMP It was noted that the Sheriff's Department has been called to provide a patrol for Memorial Day Weekend. Mr. Wood also mentioned that we need a load of big stone for the ramp before the holiday because there is such a drop off. Mr. Reime~ the Directo~was unable to attend but sent in a list of the Summer Personnel, a list of the concert dates and a calendar of events for the months of June through August. He also spoke with Mr. Holt about a "Summer Counselor School to be held in Middletown, N.Y. on Tuesday, June 27th from 8:30 to 4:00. Everyone thought is was a good idea to send the counselors but were concerned about opening the playgrounds for one day and then closing them so the counselors could attend this school. After a discussion, it was decided to start the playgrounds on Wednesday. Mr. Reimer has already tentatively scheduled a bus for transporting the personnel to Middletown in case this was approved. Donald Rider and Bill Farrell have sent in resumes for appointment to the Recreation Commission. . 6". ' Page 3 Recreation Commission Minutes May 18, 1989 SCHLATHAUS PARK A request has been put in to the Town Board and approved to spend monies from the Schlathaus Fund to fix the flag pole light and to put additional service to the Christmas tree. Chris Bar has been contracted to do the work. The Town Board has been notified that before we can do anything at the house the septic and water problems must be addressed. We have an estimate for the well but are still waiting for information on the septic. As soon as the estimates are in we will be going to the Town Board for funds to do this work. ROCKINGHAM The fencing has been purchased but hasn't been installed yet. BARN People have been dumping by the barn property. We now have 10 times the amount of debris that was there previously. It was suggested that if there is enough money in the budget, we should put a fence up which runs down to the creek. We should also put up "No Dumping" signs. A request was received from Lakeland High School to use Robinson Lane for a baseball camp. It was voted that this request be rejected as we cannot give out our facilities for personal profit. Mr. Drennan was told that the Castle Point Field was in good shape to be used for the softball league. He will not be using the field on Fridays. The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 P.M. on a motion by Mr. Wood seconded by Mr. Maurer.
