He would like this building <br />brought up to code ASAP. <br />Geno Pilyaysky wanted to comment about incentivizing volunteers that the board spoke of last meeting. <br />He doesn't feel offering money or gift cards is the right way to go because we want to draw in <br />volunteers who are passionate about the boards they are on, not just volunteering for the money. <br />Liaison Reports <br />Bacci mentioned the Recreation Committee meeting that discussed softball putting in a temporary <br />home -run fence and pickleball is not pursuing courts at Sturgis or Washington Park. June 10th is friends <br />and family day. Ice Arena Authority had a standard meeting before this; they are working on a few <br />internal bylaw changes. He noted he has found 7 firms that handle municipal law. <br />Page I r <br />
