L/ Notes from May 12, 1993 There was a posted meeting of the Recreation Committee for 7:30 pm Wednesday, May 12, 1993. However, there was not a quorum present. The following members were present: Kate Kaminer, Fred Conover, Susan Cavvichi, Lorraine Salter. The following As- sociate Members were present: Carl McFadden, Tom Zaya and Gary Roberts. Also present were Ruth Cogan, Supervisor Steve Kajander, and guest Sharon Drillio. It was decided by consensus that the group would go over items on the agenda but no action would be taken. Minutes: Cogan asked if anyone had any questions or corrections for the minutes. She had a question about the girls softball league's assignment with Sturgis and asked if anyone had a specific recollection of that vote. No one did; she will check their Saturday and Sunday schedule.. Fence for Sturgis Park softball field: Sharon Drillio noted how a coach had been hit by a softball last year. She passed around the estimate of $639 to install the fence noting the the League would pay for the fence with the Drillios paying any balance the League could not afford. Kaminer noted that she and Cogan had gone to the site and thought it was a good idea. However, she felt that in light of past issues with neighbors it was important that neighbors have the opportunity to comment. She said that she would call an extra meeting for next Wednesday, May 19 at 7:30 to take a vote on this fence. Supervisor's Report: Cogan went over the report included in the packet. She also updated the status of the camp and swimming registrations. Kate gave a summary of her meeting with Steve and Jesse Mraz about Summer fest. She noted that Mraz seemed to be making an effort to smooth relations between the two groups and encouraged the Committee's participation in Summerfest. Discus- sion included have the Theatre in the Green and Touch of Class events at that time advertised as part of Summerfest. In addi- tion, a pie in the face booth was discussed. It will be put on the May 19 agenda for a vote. Tennis Tournament: Salter gave an update on the Tennis Tourna- ment. They are looking for donations for shirts. They have a donation for water bottles.
