He apologizes for utilizing Fulton's Pond without permission from the Recreation
Commission. Mr. Calcia requests an appeal for use of Fulton's Pond for short-term usage.
Lorilee Fish reports Fulton's Pond is considered conservation land and cannot be used for
anything other than passive recreation and cannot be permitted on a daily basis. Lorilee
