Discussion: Selectman Foresto reminded the Board that Selectman D’Innocenzo raised this at the last meeting as the committee has been running for two years and felt it was time to make it permanent. He further noted this is the only place for youth sports to bring their issues to without coming to the Selectmen. Selectman Crowley stated his concern with the number of people on the committee and the ability to efficiently move things forward with that large of a group. Selectman Trindade stated we can change the total number but it has historically functioned well. Selectman Crowley requested that we revisit this issue if it seems that the group is too large to move issues forward successfully. VOTE: 4-0-0.” (Motion: Trindade, second: White)
