RUTLAND TOWN SELECT BOARD COMMITTEE MEETING

RECREATION COMMITTEE

TUESDAY MARCH 12^th, 2024

The Recreation Committee of the Rutland Town Select Board met at 5:30 PM on Tuesday March 12^th, 2024, at the Municipal Town Hall. Present was Select Board Member Sharon Russell, Select Board Member Matt Getty, and Town Rec Director Mike Rowe.

1. Discussed signing a contract with Lawn Masters to spray the lawn at Northwood Park and Dewey Field. The Board Chair will need to sign the forms. This will be brought to the full board.
2. Discussed any needed repairs for the pool this year. The cover has not come off yet but will soon.
3. Discussed groups using the pool this year. A new large group, of 95, has asked to use the pool. They will be allowed, but the total number of trips will be limited. The regular groups are also planning to use it this year. Mr. Rowe wants to ensure families and individuals still have good access to use the pool.
4. The daily use fees for this year will be:
   1. Non-town residents with a school group will be $4 per person.
   2. Town resident students will be $1.
   3. Town resident adults will be $2.
   4. Non-town resident adults will be $7.
   5. Non-town resident children will be $6.
5. Hiring for the summer will be starting soon.
6. Discussed expanding concessions at the pool. When it has been tried in the past, there was not much interest in it.
7. There has been an increase in dogs being off leash again in Northwood . Mr. Rowe has been working to identify the individuals.
8. There have been inquiries about being able to reserve pickle ball courts again. This is not something the committee supports doing.

 

The meeting adjourned at 5:52 PM.

Respectfully submitted, Bill Sweet
