Recreation (no quorum) came before the Board to discuss the town pool. No one is in place to run the pool at this time, only one application came in for CPO. Mr. Kellaher stated that it took weeks last year to get it up and running so things have got to get moving soon with cleaning, chemicals, etc. Recreation Committee did vote to open the pool at their last meeting. Mr. Becker stated that if the positions are not filled soon, it won’t be worth opening. Lengthy discussion on the revenue/expenses for 53D and
53E ½. Ms. O’Brien gave a brief description of past history regarding the Recreation Department. Mr. Pantos moved to open the pool contingent upon hiring the CPO. No second, and after some deliberation the motion was withdrawn.
Mr. Bindoo, Finance Committee, suggested allowing Gary Kellaher to open the pool. Mr. Becker is not ready to vote on opening the pool until after Recreation’s next meeting and if the CPO is hired. No recommendations are being made until Recreation makes their decisions.
Mr. Kellaher asked for permission to at least uncover the pool to check for damage and appraise the conditions. The Board approved.
The continuation of the Annual Town Meeting will be June 27th at 7 pm with a Special Town Meeting at 6:30 pm the same evening. Mr. Becker moved to reconvene the Annual Town Meeting at 7 pm on June 27th at Naquag with a Special Town Meeting at 6:30 pm. Mr. Clark seconded. Vote unanimous. The pump station issues will be on the special town meeting warrant. Some discussion on whether this article needs to go before the CIPC. Mr. Bindoo feels is preventative maintenance and not a capital expense, so no need to go through CIPC.
