Members: Robert Dunn, Chairman, John Flower, Roger Zito, Timothy Gavin, Glynn McAraw, and Donald Bugbee, Director. Absent Mary Ellen Garbarino, Missy Garvin.
Meeting started at 7:30 pm.
Correction to the March minutes is as follows: Last sentence in the minutes “Selectwoman Nosal mentioned the need for liability insurance by sport clubs, etc.”
It was explained the sports clubs know they cannot play on any OL fields until a COI
is received. The TOL in turn provides at the beginning of the fiscal year, a COI to the Regional School District #18 for use of their buildings, and/or fields, i.e P & R programs, auditorium for town meetings, etc. With this explanation, a motion made by Tim Gavin seconded by John Flower was made to accept the minutes as corrected . Voted was unanimous.
