Budget Meeting with Fin/Com, Saturday, February 12 at 11:30 A.M.- Lorilee
suggested that someone from the commission should be there. Ron told Lorilee
he would try to attend.
Budget - Lorilee submitted the budget to the board, with changes. Personnel
salary increases will be decided as the union contacts are settled. Although
90% of the park land maintenance has gone to the responsibility of DPW, we
have retained Memorial Park, flags and flag poles, cleaning of the Rumford
River. We retained :$10,000 in seasonal personnel which will be used in a
few different ways. Some changes already have been taken over by DPW.
Seasonal Personnel
a. Parks - for fall and spring cleaning
b. Personnel for park Mansfield High School games
c. Coordination of the cemetery cataloguing
This will be accomplished by using the $2.,000 in Capitol outlay
which will be used for stone restoration expenses and
workshops. We are now members of the Association for
Gravestone Studies and I have ordered books on cataloguing
and restoration. I am planning on involving the Historical
Commission and Society as much as possible.
Little League request for 1994 season - Letter received form little league
was very demanding letter_, requesting that we do not permit scheduled Softball
games to interfere with their use. Lorilee stated to the board that she
has a problem with this request. Discussion from the board was that Lorilee
have Helen McCarthy and Jim Shriver work this scheduling out so everyone
has a fair schedule for using the fields.
Ice Skating Party - one party was held January 2, 1994. The ice is not very
good. but the hot chocolate, coffee and hot clogs were enjoyed. We will try
to clear more of the ice off this week. The snow cover has causes] patches
of slush under the snow.
Sesame Street Live - "Sleeping Birdie" - Sunday, February 27th at 1 P.M.
Ray volunteered to chaperon. Price of the tickets are $7.50 and with the
bus $2.00 = $9.50. The price is down $2 from 1993 because we are using the
Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical School busses. They will charge
$50.00 as compared to $120.
Department m -Shirts - Lorilee commented to the board that she would like
to order 100 t -shirts (jade with gold) 50 large and 50 extra large for all
program directors and volunteers. The cost approximately $7 per shirt.
The board was in favor of this request. Lorilee also told the board that
the color of the summer camp t -shirts will be yellow or orange.
Summer Calendar - Lorilee reported to the hoard with two snow dates, school
now ends on Tuesday, June 21. The "Duck Race" and the first movie are planned
for June 22. If we get two more snow days, school would close on Thursday,
June 23, one day after the duct, race. Also, if we begin on June 23 do we
want to have an extra movie on Wednesday, August 31? Lorilee suggested that
we go with June 22 and go with an extra movie. All were in agreement.
