September 10, 2012
Kimball House
The meeting was opened at 7:00 PM present were, Ray Boyes, Tubby Boucher, John Barrett, Roger Rapoza and Roger Rapoza Jr.
Correspondence: Paul Sebring and Joan came to discuss Howard Park and the NM CC team. Paul brought pictures showing them marking the trees and roots on the trails to keep the team from getting lost in the park. They were also taking rocks and logs and putting them in the middle of the trails. This is an ongoing issue, seeing as last year there were empty spray paint cans found out in Howard Park. Discussed using signs to mark the trails vs. letting the team use spray paint. Then discussed about letters we have sent previously to the school and Leslie on conservation to explain the damage being caused. Location for putting up “no obstructing the trails” signs was discussed. Talked about having the athletic director to come to a special meeting on Sept. 24th at 7:00 P.M. Issue about Howard Park ended
at 7:25 P.M. The Boy Scout bridge in Howard Park was then brought up by Paul Sebring, kids are taking rocks out of the bridge and have built an unnatural beaver dam.
