“Motion by Mr. Bunker to approve, seconded by Mr. Cormier. Mr. Coyle ad questions about the logos. Rachel Collins - in her park & rec reading she has found that the more you update resources and keep them neat and tidy, the more folks in town are to follow along. They are taking a not so great space and sprucing up a new playground, resurfacing the existing basketball court, putting in a new rink, updating through CPA the Little League field, and hopes people will step up and follow the trends across the country. Mr. Bunker asked about a fence between the ballfield and the playground. There is a temporary one, but she's not sure about a permanent one. She will check on it and get back to the board. The vote was unanimous..” (Motion: Bunker, second: Cormier)
