100 Sohier Street/Milliken Field CPC Article Discussion:
Clark Brewer plan discussed for Millken; the board wants the town to move forward this summer. Brian
Joyce is looking into costs for his plan. A Sohier Street parking lot line schematic was done by
engineering; some tweaking is needed. Tennis court reconstruction is needed as soon as possible after
the January deep freeze caused some serious cracks. Tennis court companies were behind schedule and
cannot resurface until warmer weather.
Summer Program:
We are still working on staffing. A record 512 children registered and we are still looking for some staff
including a nurse. We did hire a new coordinator which will be an adult at the Swim Center, Deb
Robbins.

Motion to approve a summer staff reward system as presented.

Schedule and referee plans are in the works. We would like to use Beechwood as little as possible.
Thanks to Kim for 5 years on the board, it was her last meeting. Jeff Hartwell is on the ballot for the

to fill in for one year and then a two year term to finish her term will be on the ballot next year.
