1. There was no quorum at the April 25, 2005 Recreation Commission Meeting. The following
information was discussed with no votes taken.
2. A discussion regarding the development of Hutchason softball field and field conditions with
Mark Cook, Kelly Beach, and Marc Mekler.
- Lorilee recommends transferring $10,000 from Plymouth Street for upgrades at
Hutchason.
The improvements at Hutchason would include irrigation and resolving the water issues.
Money could also be used to improve the Memorial Park softball fields by relocating the
bleachers, creating more space for the players and fans, and adding fencing.
All in attendance agree that the money from Plymouth Street should be designated for
softball field improvements at Hutchason and Memorial Park.
Additional fencing along the baseball field at Memorial Park would provide additional
safety to players and fans.
3. Mark Cook recommends fencing the Memorial Park playground due to animal waste issues.
