Communications
Unfinished Business
- Seamster Park Playground Fundraising opportunities/updates
- Auction March 10th
- Volunteers
- Plan for the night
- Golf Tournament May 24.
Jeremy Hall updated everyone on the fundraising efforts. It looks like the project is on track to hopefully start in April on 2019. The live auction is Saturday night, volunteers have been coordinated. Jeremy distributed a list of the items and went over the plan for the night. We are hoping for a successful event with a large turnout. We are in the process of getting sponsorships in place for the Golf Tournament. We are hoping for about 3-4K in sponsorship money.
- Seamster Park Playground safety concerns (motion needed)
The Seamster Park Playground has many safety concerns that staff and the town’s insurance provider have reported on. Jessica Rurka motioned to remove the structures in place once we have a plan established. The board would like the items all to be removed at one time. Chris Hanson seconded the motion and all approved.
Shawn Mullen gave a report on the status of Parks and Recreation programming. Spring activities are available for signup and summer activities are being posted soon.
