OLD BUSINESS/a) Osborn Field Snack Bar Renovations:
Discussion took place regarding the improper installation of the donated ansul system at the Osborn Field Snack Bar. As this put the Town in a liability situation, a letter must be sent to the Little League Organization stating that the fry-o-lator can not be used until the proper repairs are made to code by a licensed Connecticut installer/inspector and approved by the Town’s Fire Marshall. The repair expense is to be born by the Little League Association.
It was noted that a “K” Class extinguisher was also required. The Parks and Recreation Department will cover this expense.

General:
Director Green stated there was a large weekend pavilion rental at East Windsor Park which went smoothly.
Director Green inquired as to who sets the summer part-time salary for each individual. The Commission stated it was up to the Director to set the salary
within the position limits.
Summer staff has been hired for summer camps, gatehouse, snack bar and waterfront. Presently the position of Waterfront Director remains open.
Summer concerts lack monetary support from the Community. To date only
$1,000 has been collected. Director Green suggested donation cans be placed
at businesses around town for future concerts. It was suggested that the Chamber of Commerce could assist in approaching new businesses.
Direct Green suggested a “Big Screen Movie” be shown at East Windsor Park as an alternative for a community-wide event.
