The Wet Head Concert was good but the crowd was disappointing. There was a discussion as to whether indoor concerts are worth the cost of having them. Mr. Blose mentioned that he had spoken with a lot of Recreation Directors and they feel that "free con~erts are not the way to go". ~' Page 2 Minutes June 21, 1984 4. Mr. Blose questioned the form which is currently being used at registration for the playgrounds entitled "Permission to Leave Playground." He felt that by using this form we are opening ourselves to problems and assuming more responsibility than we can handle. It was decided that we forward this to the Attorney for the Town for his comments. Mr. Stoller arrived at 8:20 p.m. 5. Chelsea but will Martz. Mr. Wood The basketball hoops are in. Mr. Blose will put the ones up at wait until after the courts are blacktopped to do the ones at suggested pictures be taken when they are put up. SENIOR CITIZENS Mr. Mastroianni mentioned that the Senior Citizen Trip to Kutztown Pa. is scheduled for July 5th. They are also planning a trip in August. TOWN HALL Mr. Mastroianni attended a meeting on the proposed Town Hall. There are some changes in the funding so it is still up in the air about the Senior Citizen Recreation Room. Mr. Maurer mentioned there is no recreation office included in the plans. BARN Mr. Presti will pull together a package on the barn to present to the Commission. The Commission will hold an informational meeting on July 19th to go over these recommendations. BLACKTOPPING The bids for blacktopping Martz Field Basketball Court and Chelsea Basketball Court. are due in on June 28th. The secretary will contact each member after the bids are in to get their recommendations. A recommendation will then be given to the Town Board for them to follow through on. LITTLE LEAGUE Mr. Wood mentioned that: 1. R-4 is now dry and asked if it could be mowed. Mr. Maurer said that it had been too wet for the tractor. 2. He has a place where we can get 25 - 30 barrels at no cost. The only problem is that we have to fill the barrels with water and dump them on their site because they had alcohol in them. We are to contact Mr. Ron Friedman at 297-5679 to set up the time. ....-- , . Page 3 MINUTES June 21, 1984 SOCCER Mr. Stoller met with Mr. Fran Donofrio concerning setting up a Town Soccer Program.

Mrs. Schmalz mentioned that if it is Club Soccer it is independent of the Town. Mrs. Schmalz mentioned that the soccer goal at the Jr~ High is broken (again). Someone from the Jr. High will take the goal to the Highway garage to be fixed. Adult soccer is going well. Mrs. Schmalz mentioned that she has so many teams they might have to go 4 nights a week instead of 2. Mrs. Schmalz will attend the Youth Board Meeting on Wednesday July 11th. Mr. Stoller questioned a master plan for recreation. Mr. Presti asked what the money received in lieu of land is to be used for. Mr. Maurer said the first priority is a pool. Mr. Stoller and Mr. Presti will get together and develop some new plans for a swimming pool. Mr. Maurer mentioned the following: 1. The cost for a lawn mower needed for commercial work is up to at least $800.00. There is only $500.00 in the budget and he asked the members if there would be any objection to using the money left over from the purchase of the "flail mower". There were no objections. 2. The fields need more seeding and that they are 1 - 2 weeks behind in mowing because of the rain. One of the mowers is also not working. 3. He ordered chemicals for the ponds at Kent Road and Rockingham. They will be in around June 22nd. The copper sulfate is a killer not a preventative. Mr. Stoller questioned this procedure and was told that it was Town property and we have the D.E.C. recommendation to apply twice a year. BLOCK GRANT MONEY Mrs. Schmalz wanted it on record that she is in favor and that the Commission should recommend that the Block Grant money be used in the water district first. If the money cannot be used there the second priority should be to make handicapped and Senior Citizens facilities in the barn. Mr. Presti seconded the recommendation. All were in favor. ......

A semi-public telephone installation would be $285.00 with a monthly charge of $45.00. The Commission will look into something else. PORTCO APARTMENTS The Secretary called Planning Beard regarding the above Apartments and was told that no recommendations were required from us. The map was just for our information. HERRINGTON HILLS SUBDIVISION After making a field trip and reviewing the subdivision maps, the Recreation Commission recommended that we ask for Lot #1 (about 2 acres) as partial consideration of the dedication and the balance in money or services.
