A
One
go
late,
yeah,
but
then
you'd
be
talking
about
probably
adding
some
lighting
to
that
as
well.
But
that's
that's.
You
know
what
I've
seen
in
assuming
that's
with
our
current
programs
that
we
have
today
at
the
school.
B
Vin,
I
I
just
have
a
question
for
you
since
that's
you
know
the
the
the
plans
that
we
worked
on
before
we
had
three
full-size
rectangles
at
the
high
school
and
what
you're
saying
here
is
that
may
not
be
enough.
I
mean
you
know.
You
said
you
could
maybe
take
two
natural
surface
fields
and
put
them
on
one
synthetic
thing.
If
we
had
three
synthetic
surfaces,
would
that
suit
the
needs
of
all
kind
of
four
teams?
Yeah,
absolutely.
A
Absolutely
I
was
just
you
know
with
cost
in
mind
because
you're
right
I
mean,
if
you
had
three
synthetic
surfaces,
you
wouldn't
have
to
worry
about
anything
and
what
I
I
also
have
in
my
notes
is
the
band.
So
if
you
wanted
band
for
practice,
you
know
the
worst
thing
for
fields,
as
I'm
sure
jerry
will
tell
you
is
compaction
of
soil
and
stomping
etc.
So,
ideally,
you
would
have
either
a
time
for
them
to
get
onto
the
main
field.
A
The
lined
we'll
call
it
a
football
field
or
you'd
have
a
synthetic
surface
for
them
to
align
since
that
synthetic
surface,
so
that
they
wouldn't
be
damaging
the
grass.
So
yes,
if
you
could
substitute
synthetic,
you
could
absolutely
cut
a
couple
of
grass
fields
and.
C
A
You
know
grass
fields
needs
need
to
be
rested,
so
in
the
spring
we
could
probably
get
away
because
again,
there's
only
two
lacrosse
teams:
there's
nothing
else.
That
would
require
a
long
flat,
rectangular
field.
A
Everything
else
is
baseball,
softball
tennis
cross
on
track.
So
again,
if
you
could
put
synthetic
or
you
could
rest
a
couple
of
those
grass
fields
in
the
spring,
you
know,
if
you
had
four
grass
fields,
you
could
technically
rest
two
of
them
because
you
you.
Could
you
really
only
need
two
of
them.
A
So
that's
what
I
see
based
on
my
observations.
D
E
I
wouldn't
say
I'm
coming
to
the
bed,
I'm
I
would
say
I
totally
agree.
You
know
that's
what
the
numbers
have
kind
of
been
proven
is
that
we
need
a
lot
more
fields
to
high
school
to
help.
You
know
meet
the
needs
across
the
town.
E
You
know
the
trick
is
going
to
be
fitting
them
all
in
there
and
and
getting
them.
I
think
the
interesting
thing
that
we
hadn't
talked
about
yet
that
vin
just
discussed
was,
you
know,
an
extra
baseball
field.
We
all
have
looked
at
that
one
baseball
field
up.
There
then
said:
wow,
that's
a
you
know
it's
in
really
good
shape.
It
was
recently
kind
of
fixed
up,
but
I
would
agree
on
some
level
that
you
know
having
three
teams
practice
on
one
field.
E
Definitely
probably
is
a
challenge
for
the
coach
or
or
you're
sending
kids
off.
You
know
various
places
throughout
the
town
to
practice
it
is
baseball,
is
one
of
the
biggest
you
know.
Field
sizes
to
to
locate
so
locating
another
baseball
field
on
on
fish
campus
would
definitely
be
a
struggle,
but
I
think
it
might
be
something
we
should
at
least
contemplate
or
figure
out.
You
know
how
close
by
you
can
get
a
baseball
field
to
send
one
of
the
other
teams
off
to.
F
F
Great
right
ahead:
okay,
all
right!
Thank
you!
I'm
sorry!
I
was
jerry's
so
official
to
me,
then
so
I
I
just
had
a
I.
I
wanted
to
look
at
if
it
hadn't
been
looked
at
already,
just
how
the
fields
are
assigned,
and
I
understand
that
the
board
of
ed
has
some
fields.
F
You
know
the
ones
that
are
associated
with
the
schools
that
they
deal
with
and
and
then
the
parks
and
rec
have
other
fields
that
they
deal
with
and
and
the
the
the
assigning
of
the
fields
depends
on
where
the
field
is
right,
right,
jerry
or
frank
or.
F
And
I
think
that
we
all
live
in
the
same
town
and
the
fields
are
all
owned
by
the
taxpayers,
and
there
should
be.
We
should
at
least
discuss
the
potential
of
a
more
over
overlying
assignment
of
the
fields
and
looking
at
a
bigger
picture
instead
of
the
board
of
ed
looking,
you
know
going
to
the
border
bed
for
school
fields
and
going
through
parks
and
rec
for
the
other
fields
that
aren't
on
the
school
property.
F
I
think
it
deserves
just
some
discussion,
because
I
know
that
I
think
that
parks
and
rec
has
a
you
know
how
they
assign
fields
they
have.
You
know
they
have
a
hierarchy
that
they
work
with
and
I'm
sure
the
board
of
ed
does
as
well,
and
I
think
theoretically,
they
should
have
the
same
kind
of
hierarchy,
whether
it
be
that
students,
regardless
of.
B
I
guess
just
from
from
my
standpoint,
bruce
I
don't
disagree
with
anything.
You
just
said
I
do.
I
guess
wonder
if
that's
you
know
kind
of
the
the
the
charge
of
the
athletic
fields
task
force
here,
but
I
I
I
am
certainly
sympathetic
to
what
you
just
said,
and
I
I
and
I
feel
the
pain
and
I
hear
the
pain
you
know
on
a
constant
basis
from
people
who
have
trouble
trying
to
navigate
a
complicated
system
of
trying
to
find
field
space
when
you're.
B
When
you
don't
know
who
to
call
or
you
you
know
you
it,
it
is
really
tough
and
you
know
as
if
we
get
you
know
these
fields
that
we're
talking
about
constructed.
I
I
absolutely
would
be
in
full
favor
of
trying
to
create
a
coordinated
system
of
assigning
those
field
spaces
it.
It
just
makes
sense.
F
Okay,
I
would
also
say
that.
F
And
I
understand
what
you
what
you're
saying
jerry
with
respect
to
it?
Our
purview
is
about
field
location
and
you
know
we're
replacing
fields
and
how
many
fields
we
need,
but
I
think
I
think
we
can
weave
it
into
the
conversation
a
little
bit
just
about
how
fields
are
assigned,
and
you
know
what
the
hot,
what
the
hierarchy
is,
and
you
know
you
could
look
at
what
percentage
of
the
players
are
actually
from
groton.
F
You
know
if
it's
a
travel
team
or
just
I
think,
there's
things
to
look
at
where
you
know
the
the
the
hierarchy
should
be
looked
at
and
if
it,
if
you
know,
if
a
church
team
from
that's
made
up
of
you
know,
all
people
from
waterford
is
trying
to
play
it.
Just.
F
I
think
that
that
needs
to
be
at
times
taken
into
consideration
so,
and
I
think
that
that
may
go
to
field
you
know,
assignment
of
fields
goes
to
how
many
we
have,
because
if
you,
if
you
change
that
hierarchy
or
you
know,
assess
how
you're
assigning
them
you
may
have,
the
demand
may
go
down
a
little
bit
or
there
may
be
a
discussion
that
a
certain
team
or
people
looking
for
have
a
you
know,
a
level
three
access
to
the
field
where
somebody
in
groton
may
have
a
level
ten.
F
You
know
what
I'm
saying
like
it
just.
I
think
some
of
those
things
need
to
be
looked
at,
but
if
we
think,
if
the,
if,
if
the
you
know,
if
this
committee
thinks
it's
not
in
their
purview,
I
think
we
should
at
least
suggest
it
to
the
council
when
we're
finished.
C
That's
all
right,
I
I
know
one
of
the
other
meeting
meetings
we
had
since
we've
had
many.
We
did
discuss
a
little
bit
of
this,
but
I
think,
like
the
important
piece
of
all.
This
is
really
just
to
see
what
we
need
and
then
look
at
the
assignments
after,
but
one
of
the
bigger
problems
is
not
just
the
assignments
as
mr
flax
has
addressed
is,
and
I
agree
that
is
a
problem
is
also
who's.
Maintaining
them.
C
I've
been
at
many
games,
little
league
high
school,
just
town
run
travel,
you
name
it
and
the
lines
aren't
there
or
it's
not
been
serviced
and
oh
well.
Who
do
we
call
and
no
one
seems
to
know
who
should
be
doing
it
so
once
again
long
before
I
got
involved
in
any
of
this
of
just
being
a
parent?
That's
another
concern,
so
we
can
build
all
the
fields
we
want.
We
can
assign
to
all
the
assignments
we
want,
but
just
the
structure
of
who's
supposed
to
be
maintaining
them
and
who's,
making
the
decisions.
C
Another
great
example
of
the
track
field
resurfaced.
It
wasn't
part
of
my
decision
making,
but
the
the
the
long
jump-
and
you
know
those
those
runways
were
not
surface
in
conjunction
with
that
and
still
today
sit
unsurfaced.
C
So
it's
great
to
have
a
master
plan
and
figuring
out
the
outside,
but
first
we
gotta
on
the
inside
do
some
better
coordinating,
I
think,
between
our
local
government
board
of
ed
town,
council,
rec
department,
town
staff
as
a
whole
to
prioritize
these
fields
and
put
them
all
under
one
umbrella
and
that
coordination
has
to
happen
for
success
to,
I
think,
really
propel
itself
out
externally
and
really
to
properly
serve
the
community
in
the
town.
I
know
this
can
come
before
the
council
and
I'll
look
at
this
all
day.
I
support
field.
C
That's
why
I
want
to
be
a
part
of
this,
but
I
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
lack
of
emphasis
on
fields
and
the
structure
and
partially
done
projects
which
have
led
us
to
where
we
are
so.
Yes,
I
do
agree
with
mr
flax
that
you
know
it's
the
signing,
but
first
we
got
to
get
the
quality
fields
to
assign
and
then
we've
got
to
make
sure
the
people
that
are
maintaining
them
are
maintaining
them.
Thank
you.
C
D
Anyone
else
right
now,
because
I
can't
see
all
the
hands
go.
A
Ahead
ben
just
quickly,
one
thing
I
didn't
mention
which
I'd
like
to
is,
I
think,
also
with
the
field
houses.
We
need
some.
We
need
some
equity
there,
so
we
either
need
to
build
onto
that
and
have
one
for
the
for
the
girls
as
well
or
maybe
I
don't
know,
divide
that
one
at
two
different
levels
or
I
don't
build
another
one.
On
the
other
end
on
the
other
side
of
the
field,
I
don't
know
but
right
now,
it's
it's
inequitable.
D
D
Absolutely
yeah
we've
definitely
talked
about
the
fact
that
part
of
part
of
the
decision-making
and
part
of
the
field
process
will
be
caveats
like
that,
like
there's,
no
reason
that
there
shouldn't
be
a
an
area
down
there
for
for
the
female
athletes
to
to
be
able
to
to
have
the
same
amenities
as
the
males
do.
There's
it's
just
not
down
there
now
we
all
recognize
that,
and
that
will
definitely
be
part
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
here.
D
Anybody
else
have
any
comment
on
vince's
review
of
the
facilities
and
what
the
the
thing
that
comes
to
mind
with
me
van.
Is
that
the
the
baseball
field
to
me,
though
another
one
would
be
great
up
there.
D
I
don't
know
if
it
affects
enough
students
like
if
we've
got
a
like
sort
between
different,
because
I
think
space
is
our
issue
right
I
mean
that's,
there's
no
question
that
space
is
our
issue,
so,
as
a
committee,
I
think
we
need
to
decide,
maybe,
as
we
start
to
put
things
together
up
there
we're
in
a
definitive
space,
and
what
can
we
do
to?
I
guess
capture
the
most
amount
of
students.
If
you
would,
you
know
just
just
me
thinking
about
space.
A
I
I
agree
frank,
I
think
a
softball
field
is
much
more
of
a
priority
than
a
baseball
field
would
be
right.
Now
if
speech
is
limited,
but
I'm
picturing,
you
know
a
330
boys
baseball
game
for
the
varsity
and
where
are
the
jv
and
the
freshman
team
going
for
practice
that
day
right
so.
B
A
B
You
know
I
mean
it's
the
same
question.
You
know
we
put
a,
we
put
a
field
up
there
and
we
may
you
know,
there's
a
need
for
maybe
two
softball
fields
instead
of
one-
and
you
know
those
are.
Those
are
issues
that
we
need
to.
B
You
know
wrestle
with
and
what
fits
on
the
the
property
but
and
frank.
I
guess
I
see
two
hands.
We
got
rich
costa
and
we
also
have
counselor
borderline.
Go
ahead,
rich.
G
You
know
vin
talked
about
the
baseball
field
and
we're
talking
about
softball
field
and
and
getting
at
least
nearby
facilities.
So
we
we
do
look
down
the
hill
and
and
sutton
park.
Is
there
town
owned
property
with
fields
there?
So
perhaps
that
might
be
the
answer
to
some
of
the
the
space
pro
problems
for
those
two
softball
and
baseball.
G
I
know
you
know,
there's
also
the
demands
for
little
league
and
babe
ruth
and
the
travel
people,
but
so
that
is
land
that
is
pretty
close
to
the
high
school
kids
can
walk
down
that
hill
and
and
get
to
that
so
that
that
should
probably
be
thrown
into
the
mix.
Also,
you
know
with
the
space
problems
at
the
high
school.
There
is
some
land
down
there
that
we've
talked
about.
C
I
was
kind
of
going
to
say
something
to
that
effect.
I
just
wanted
to
remind
that
one
of
the
problems
after
sitting
in
on
the
looking
at
how
we
structure.
C
Grades
and
what
students
should
be
doing
to
be
allowed
to
play
on
certain
athletic
teams
and
what
would
be
considered
failing
and
passing,
and
what
have
you
one
of
the
concerns
that
did
come
out
of
that
is
making
sure
that
the
accessibility
for
students,
unfortunately,
our
campus,
is
quite
small
and
the
planning
of
that
you
know
when
we
added
on
to
the
high
school
and
then
put
the
middle
school
next
to
it.
The
big
picture
we
lost
out
on
the
space
for
sports
fields,
and
so
with
that
we
we're
not.
C
We
do
not
have
the
greatest
setup
for
that
campus
kind
of
area
for
sports
field
to
kind
of
be
all
part
of
the
campus,
so
any
of
the
distance
fields.
C
We
have
to
really
look
at
because
students
who
have
academic
needs
first,
there's
not
a
bus
to
get
them
there,
so
if
they
have
to
stay
after
for
extra
help,
because
their
grades
dropping
below
a
certain
level
and
the
field
is
all
the
way
on
the
city
of
groton,
let's
just
say,
or
whatever,
there's
no
bus
to
bring
tardy
students
to
these
facilities.
They
end
up
missing
for
the
day
or
trying
to
find
a
ride
so
really
making
sure
the
most
amount
of
fields
are
on.
C
The
high
school,
I
think,
is
important
for
the
student
body,
which
is
the
number
one
focus,
is
academics
and
then
being
able
to
get
to
their
extracurricular,
maybe
say:
30
minutes
late,
like
a
student
who
runs
tracker
cross
country,
you
know
that's
right
there
being
a
former
runner
myself.
I
remember
you
know
I
didn't
do
so
great
on
this
test.
I'd
better
stay
and
I
could
just
run
down
there
and
make
up
the
time
and
my
extra
laps
and
not
have
to
worry
that.
C
C
Most
people
are
working
so
there's
a
late
bus
for
athletes,
but
there's
not
a
late
bus
technically
for
students
who
have
academic
needs,
and
so
that's
really,
where
my
thoughts
of
making
sure
as
much
can
be
on
on
that
actual
campus
or,
like
coach
costa,
said
down
the
hill
in
a
close
proximity.
So
it's
really
important
to
really
think
of
that.
Thank
you.
D
B
H
B
B
You
know
the
high
school
is
up
on
the
hill
here,
but
you
know
one
of
the
questions
I
think
we
might
want
to
look
at
you
know
we.
We
have
an
existing
softball
field
down
there
now
and
you
know
we're
this
plan
here
kind
of
calls
for
these
three
fields
to
be
put
in
there
and
and
it
it
may
be
that
we
could
fit
a
you
know:
a
a
high
school
sized
softball
field
in
a
high
school
size,
baseball
field.
This
this
larger
field
here
was
one
of
those
intermediate
sized
fields.
B
So
you
know,
is
it
possible
to
somehow
put
a
you
know,
a
full-size
baseball
field
here,
which
has
you
know
relatively
close
proximity
to
the
high
school
plus?
You
know
that
we
already
have
a
softball
field
down
there,
so
you
know
we
know
that
fits
on
this
property.
It
might
need
to
be
reoriented
or
whatever
in
some
way
to
allow
for
a
full-size
baseball
field.
But
you
know
if,
if
you
have
that
you
know
that
that
puts
the
high
school
it
it.
You
know
it's
not
too
far
off
the
campus.
B
It
shifts
a
little
bit
of
the
burden
or
a
little
bit
of
the
demand
or
whatever
you
know
it
shifts
the
what
is
going
on
on
these
two
fields,
perhaps
somewhere
else
for
at
least
one
field
where
we
would
be
losing
a
a
pretty
nice
little
league
baseball
field.
So
if,
if
we
did
that,
you
know
accommodated
the
high
school
at
sutton
park,
you
know,
are
there
ways
that
we
can
shift
that
little
league
baseball
field
to
another
school?
B
And
I
think,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
at
least
one
of
the
new
elementary
schools
has
a
you
know,
a
baseball
field
going
into
it.
I
think
the
other
one
is
one
is
baseball
and
one
is
softball.
I
believe,
but
I
may
be
mistaken
on
that,
but
there
again
that
you
know
that's
that's
a
a
potential
thing
for
us
to
consider
that
you
know
sutton
park.
B
It
is,
it
is
a
park,
but
it
is
town-owned
property
and
it
does
have
proximity
to
the
high
school
and
accomplishes
a
lot
of
what
we
we
may
be
talking
about,
provided
that
we
can
somehow
fit
a
full-size,
softball
and
baseball
field
on
that
property.
D
No,
I
I
personally
believe
that
that
would
be
a
win-win
only
in
the
fact
that
you're
again,
as
everyone's
concerned
is,
is
getting
the
students
at
the
school
and
can
get
to
the
school.
As
counselors
said,
you
know
30
minutes
late
because
they
had
to
take
a
test.
I
mean
that's
yeah,
obviously
you're
gonna.
D
It
would
be
interesting
to
see
like
you
said
if
there
are
other
facilities
right
now
that
are
out
there,
like
you
said,
if
there's,
if
there's
a
how
much
use
does
that
feel
getting,
I
don't
know
that
that
particular
field
yeah
go
ahead.
Chad,
you
probably.
E
Well,
I
mean
jerry.
The
one
thing
I
was
thinking
of
too
down
there
is,
you
know,
coordination
with
grosso,
tech
and
rich
kind
of
a
question
for
you
is
you
said
that
it's
right
down
the
hill,
no
problem
for
the
kids
to
walk
down
the
hill
which
I
agree
with,
but
I'm
also
curious.
E
G
Yeah
there
there's
definitely
a
way
to
get
down
between
the
grosso,
property
and
and
the
fitch
property
I
mean
it's,
it
would
need
to
be
better
maintained.
We'd
probably
need
to
you
know,
maybe
pave
it
and
and
put
a
little
bit
of
lighting
in
there,
but
you
know
as
the
crow
flies.
It's
not
not
really
a
very
long
distance.
E
No,
we
were
looking
at
it
thinking
that
it
made
there's
a
bridge
already
across
the
stream
on
grosso's
property
right
and
they
have
a
switchback
on
the
hill
that
gets
very
close
to
right,
yep
right
there,
jerry
that
gets
very
close
to
you,
know
fitch's
property,
and
if
the
road
down
to
the
next
field
could
continue
down
cross
into
grosso
property
utilize
that
bridge
across
the
stream.
E
You
know
we
also
a
long
time
ago
had
a
a
bike.
Trail
route
planned
all
along
there
to
kind
of
connect
all
the
way
down
to
the
g
s
trail
yeah,
and
there
is
a
baseball
field
there,
that's
not
being
utilized
that
again,
I
know
I
know
jerry
had
some
very
preliminary
discussions
with
grosso
about.
E
Can
we
use
this
and
maybe
there's
a
way
we
can
do
some
shared
maintenance
and-
and
things
like
that,
especially
with
their
new
fields
being
built
back
up
closer
to
the
school,
but
I
think
that'd
be
a
great
opportunity
if
we
get
that
the
field
built
kind
of
down
the
hill
from
the
existing
one
connect
the
road
to
be
able
to
utilize
the
one
bridge
crossing.
E
You
know
those
fields
to
be
redeveloped,
for
I'm
going
to
say
more,
the
rest
of
little
league
needs
because
we
definitely
have
a
need
for
the
smaller
ball
fields
that
we're
losing
throughout
town
and
then-
and
maybe
we
can
kind
of
get
all
of
it
in
one
close
proximity.
G
A
G
A
lot
of
that
land,
that's
between
the
the
fitch
track
here
and
the
old
grosso,
has
been
totally
reconfigured
and
cleared
right.
So
a
lot
of
that
land
is
not
wooded
anymore
and
certainly
would
be
probably
easier
than
it
was
before
to
to
create
a
path
that
would
get
down
there
very
easily
and
connect
to
that
bridge.
As
you
talked
about
yeah.
E
And
I
know
there's
a
drainage
easement
that
all
a
lot
of
the
drain,
the
storm
drainage
from
fitch
drains
along
that
property
line
right.
You
know
that
northern
property
line
between
grosso
and
fitch-
and
so
there
is
a
drain
line
that
runs
down
there-
that
there
is
kind
of
a
maintenance
road
right
now,
but
it
just
kind
of
plummets
down
the
hill.
So
we
probably
need
to
switch
back
it
a
little
bit
and
work
it
down
there.
But
again,
I
think
there's
great
opportunities
there.
E
If
we
can
find
a
way
to
work
together
with
the
state.
B
So
frank,
if
I
could
just
jump
in
there,
one
thing
and
I'll
see
if
I
can
kind
of
explain
it,
the
the
the
new
graso
tech
is
pretty
much
where
this
parking
lot
is
most
this.
B
This
whole
entire
part
of
the
building
is
gone,
they're,
building
a
little
bit
of
a
new
facility
in
this
area,
but
up
in
here
where
you
know
they
talked
about
it
being
clear,
there's
they're
planning
on
putting
a
you
know
a
their
own
football
field,
type
thing
in
this
in
this
area,
down
below
they're
talking
about
putting
a
baseball
and
softball
field
in
this
area.
B
Here
you
know
and
whether
we,
the
fitch,
could
be
using
those
fields
at
you
know
I
I
think
to
me
it
may
be
more
out
of
season
use
because
in
season
I
would
expect
that
the
graso
tech
high
school
teams
are
going
to
be
using
these.
You
know
their
the
softball
field
and
the
baseball
field
that
they
developed
down
here
for
their
own
purposes.
You
know
after
school
hours,
that
would
be
likely
the
same
kind
of
hours
that
the
fitch
high
school
teams
would
want
to
be
using
those
fields.
B
B
If
that
makes
sense-
and
I
think
I'm
going
to
stop
sharing
here
and
see
because
I
think
somebody
had
their
hand
up
yes,
counselor
borderline
had
her
hand
up.
C
Yes,
thank
you.
I
was
also
going
to
say,
with
the
you
know,
our
new
middle
school
in
that
back
driveway
road,
that
kind
of
connects
at
the
foot
of
rosso
tech.
C
It
would
seem
to
me
that
you
know
in
the
meantime,
students,
depending
on
how
the
development
would
go,
that
that
path
that
coach
costa
speaks
of.
I
know
quite
well
from
running
back
in
that
area.
It
would
seem
to
me
too
that
another
way
without
getting
onto
the
main
road
as
well
until
that
path
was
cleared
if
it
can
be
cleared
or
what
the
plan
would
be.
C
You
know
you
could
cut
through
the
middle
school,
go
down
that
back
driveway,
which
would
dump
you
at
the
foot
or
the
entry
to
grosso
tech
and
then
you're
already
at
sutton
park
and
you're,
not
even
on
the
main
road
or
on
the
hill.
At
all.
You
literally
went
from
middle
school
to
high
school
property
to
state
property,
which
is
the
grosso
right
into
sutton
park,
which
would
be
very,
very
easy
to
do
and
for
an
athlete
of
such
you
could
probably
get
down
there
in
less
than
10
minutes
straight
across.
C
So
I
think
that
would
be
very
doable
in
my
opinion,
and
a
student
could
walk
if
they
had
to
stay
after.
So
I
do
like
the
idea
of
using
that
sutton
park
as
a
connecting
point
for
the
high
school.
Thank
you.
D
So
I
just
make
me
smarter,
because,
with
the
new
middle
school
there
is
there
you
can
get
between
a
and
b
up
there.
Now
right,
the
middle
school
there's
a
path
there's
walkways.
D
C
H
C
The
middle
school
perfect
that
connectability's
already
started
is
what
I'm
saying
you
know
it's
just
a
matter
of
finalizing
it
I
mean
before
to
get
to
sutton
park.
There
was
really
no
other
way
unless
you
went
through
the
deep
you
know
brush
behind
the
field
and
down
and
around,
but
this
I
mean
you
could
cut
right
through
and
over
in
no
time.
E
D
E
B
B
B
Okay,
rookie
move
okay,
so
yes,
this
is
a
full-size
softball
field.
Here,
a
high
school
softball
size
field
and
you
can
see
that
the
little
field
is
is
smaller,
but
a
high
school
baseball
field
would
be
actually
bigger
than
the
softball
field,
and
the
question
is
in
this:
this
kind
of
piece
of
property
here:
could
we
fit
both
of
those
things
in
there?
You
know,
that's
that's
something
I
don't
think
we've
looked
at,
but
you
know
I
think
we
could.
A
Well,
I've
seen
it
and
it's
not
ideal,
but
a
lot
of
middle
schools
there's
a
shared
outfield
between
a
baseball
and
a
softball
when
the
property
is
limited.
So
if,
if
that
were
only
a
practice
facility
and
not
it,
you
know,
yeah
you'd
still
have
to
be
careful,
but
you
might
be
able
to
eliminate
some
of
that
problem.
A
H
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
quick
comment
on
the
software.
I
just
want
to
make
a
quick
comment
on
the
softball
field,
jerry
because
it's
actually
larger
than
us
a
high
school
regulation,
softball
field,
it's
more
of
a
men's
league
softball
field,
so
there's
actually
some
room
that
could
be
had
right.
Regulation
fence
first
for
high
school,
is
200
feet
around
and
that
one's
about
260
all
the
way
around.
So
there
is
extra.
H
B
You
know
thank
you
for
that,
jim,
that's
that's
a
great
point
and
one
of
the
things
that
you
know
the
different
uses
of
fields
you
know
high
school
softball
is
fast
pitch
and
most
adult
sports
are
slow
pitch
and
those
are
different
size
fields.
So
thank
you
for
pointing
that
out,
jim.
I
guess
I,
for
whatever
reason,
but
you
know
when
you're
talking
about
community
use
and
high
school
use.
B
Those
are
two
different
kinds
of
things
and
the
base
paths
are
are
typically
of
different
lengths
and,
and
that
type
of
thing
too
so
having
a
field,
that's
kind
of
set
up
for
a
high
school
and
having
a
separate
field
somewhere
else.
That's
set
up
for
adult
softball
or
or
those
types
of
things
would
be.
I
ideal
frankly
because
yeah,
if
it's,
if
we're
having
high
school
teams
play
on,
you
know
men's
slow
pitch
size
fields.
That's
not
that's
not
a
good
deal.
G
Jerry,
I
was
you
you
asked
about
the
this
softball
field.
That's
going
on
the
merit
property
up
there
near
the
the
new
turf
field,
and
I
and
I
was
speaking
with
our
softball
coach
and
apparently
that
is
going
to
be
a
a
high
school
sites
field
that
they're
that
they're
putting
in
there
at
the
middle
school.
So
he
felt
that
you
know.
Obviously
the
middle
school
will
have
the
priority
there,
but
he
felt
that
that
that
field
was
going
to
be
big
enough
for
the
high
school
to
to
utilize.
D
And
again
that
at
this
point,
that
field
doesn't
there's
no
lights
going
down
at
this
point
in
time.
Right
right,
but
I
mean
I
think
that
it's
there
is
going
to
just
seems
to
me
like
there
almost
has
to
be
some
shared
usage.
It's
just
it's
just
gonna
and
evolve
into
that.
It
may
not
happen
the
first
year,
but
it's
just
gonna
have
to
evolve
in
that
I
can
just
you
can
just
see
it
happening.
I
would
guess
I
mean
if
it's
there,
we
should
all
be
using
it
except
the
schools
at
some
point.
H
And
can
I
just
ask
one
other
quick
question
about
that?
We
mentioned
the
likes
again.
Is
that
can
that
is
that
part
of
our
recommendation
that
we're
going
to
put
forward
as
well?
Can
we
recommend
lights,
because
I
think
it's
one
that
we
keep
kind
of
touching
on
back
and
forth
is
the
fact
that
if
we
can
get
lights
on
certain,
you
know
fields
if
we're
strategic
about
it,
it's
really
going
to
help.
B
H
B
The
group
has
this
task
force
has
in
the
past.
We
have
you
know
already
kind
of
we
formed
consensus
on
that,
the
light
issue
and
in
particularly
on
the
the
fields
at
the
middle
school
that
you
know
the
con
census
of
this
group
is
that
we
need
to
light
that
artificial
surface
field
at
the
middle
school,
and
I
think,
if
we're
talking
about
developing
any
other
artificial
surface
fields,
I
I
think
the
assumption
at
least
in
my
head
is
that
they
would
be
lit
it.
B
You
know,
we've
heard
chad
talk
again
and
again
and
again
about
you
know
what
the
kind
of
field
equivalent
use
is
and
if
you
make
an
artificial
surface
field
that
can
take
a
lot
of
use,
and
you
know
you
have
it
in
october
and
you
have
to
end
at
you
know
4
30
or
something
like
that,
because
it's
getting
too
dark
you're
losing
all
kinds
of
capacity
in
that
way.
B
D
D
E
I'll
just
bring
up
something
as
far
as
frank,
when
do
you,
when
do
we
try
to
coalesce
everything
that
we've
been
talking
about
right
when,
when
do
we
start
boiling
it
down
and
and
really
negotiating
between
ourselves,
like
all
right,
here's
here's
the
list
now
that
we've,
you
know,
I
think
we
have
everything
we
need
and
and.
E
A
very
big
list,
you
know
and
then
do
we
start
kind
of
checking
it
off
and
and
start
with
the
dream
list.
And
then
you
know:
do
we
hash
through
that
a
little
bit
and
and
recommend
something
less
than
that
or
all
of
it
or
whatever?
I
think
at
some
point.
We
need
to
start
almost
just
really
writing
them
all
down
and
you
know
checking
off
which
ones
we
all
support.
E
You
know
we
kind
of
did
that
per
sport
as
we
went
through,
but
I
think
you
know
sometime
now
or
sometime
in
the
very
near
future.
We
need
to
start
kind
of
pulling
that
together.
B
Can
you
see
that?
Can
you
see
my
dock
here?
Yes,
okay,
I
guess
you
know
that
was.
This
was
something
that
I
I
did
share
in
kind
of
august
and
I
think
you're
you're
right
there,
chad,
I
guess
this-
this
top
portion
here
is
kind
of
in
in
prior
meetings.
This
is
kind
of
what
we
settled
on
and
then
we
had
the
high
school
discussion
and
we
settled
on
these
things.
You
know
and
so
yeah.
B
I
think
if
we
can,
if
we
can
refine
this
this
chart-
and
you
know,
answer
some
of
these
kind
of
questions
down
here
at
the
bottom.
I
think
that's,
that's
really.
If
we
can,
if
we
can
focus
that
and
and
part
of
our
charge,
you
know
for
this
task
force
is
to
have
you
know
a
recommendation
moving
forward
in
time
for
the
next
budget
season,
which
actually
you
know,
we've
got
probably
another.
B
You
know
I'm
going
to
say
month
month
and
a
half
before
the
capital
improvement
program
is,
is
kind
of
you
know
being
put
together.
So
you
know,
I
guess
I
I
do
feel
a
little
bit
of
urgency,
along
with
you
know,
with
with
chad
on
that
and
I'm
happy
to
put
that
back
up,
but
I
did.
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
check
back
here.
So
I'll
give
you
that
and
and
I'll
let
you
know,
frank
that
counselor
borderline
has
her
hand
up.
C
So
with
that
recommend
recommendation
that
was
typed
a
while
back.
Does
it
have
any
of
the
new
athletic
directors
recommendations
that
he
stated
tonight.
C
Yeah
yeah
also
on
there,
it
says
when
you
just
head
it
up.
I
just
saw.
B
C
Recommendations
to
up
upgrade
the
tennis
courts,
which
are
being
done
now,
so
that
would
come
off
correct.
C
B
Yeah,
the
tennis
courts
are
great,
but
we
need
two
more
right
right.
So
yeah,
I'm
happy
to
sit
here
and
I'm
actually
happy
happy
to
describe
if,
if
you
know,
if,
if
these
kind
of
boxes
need
to
change-
and
in
fact
I
think
with
if
we
were
to
update
this
with
what
the
athletic
director
ed
fitch,
just
you
know
mentioned
to
us-
we,
you
know
two
full-size
rectangles
with
synthetic
or
natural
turf.
I
think
from
what
we
heard
tonight.
B
B
C
I
think
it'd
be
important
to
add
with
lights
there,
like,
I
think
you
know.
When
I
read
this,
I
don't
want
to
go.
I
think
about
a
resume
right.
I'm
looking
we're
hiring
somebody
you
want
to
read
quickly
got
it,
you
don't
want
to
look
with
the
side.
Note
second
page
three
we're
recommending
likes.
You
know
when
someone
looks
at
this
they're
going
to
look
at
the
first
page.
What's
the
recommendation,
so
I
feel
and
my
recommendation
would
be
full-size
rectangle
filled
with
synthetic
and
with
you
know,
adding
lights
right
there
on
the
front.
C
A
I
would
just
add
to
that
that
some
of
these
recommendations
would
be
dependent
on
the
shared
facilities.
For
example,
if
the
high
school
has
access
to
the
middle
school
field,
your
recommendation
might
change
a
little
bit,
especially
you
know,
hypothetically.
If
the
synthetic
feel
that
the
middle
school
had
lights,
you
may
not
need
as
many
fields
at
the
high
school,
because
the
high
school
could
use
the
middle
school
field
after
the
middle
schools
were
done
with
it,
with
the
lighting,
so
yeah.
C
I
guess
yeah,
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is:
is
that
there's
a
possibility-
or
my
thought
is-
is
that
board
of
ed
or
whoever
could
start
to
apply
for
grants
once
there's
a
final
report
and
people
buy
into
it?
I've
seen
other
towns
where
the
town
has
said.
Okay,
we'll
do
this
piece
board
of
ed
started,
writing
grants
or
sections
of
the
things
that
they
could
come
forward
with.
So
I
think
it'd
be
yeah.
I
agree
it's
going
to
determine
that
coordination,
so
kind
of,
like
with
flac,
bruce
wax.
That
stated
the
coordination.
C
So
yes,
what?
What
is
the?
What
do?
All
the
department
heads
think
that
they're
gonna
be
done
as
far
as
rec
as
far
as
high
school
as
far
as
middle
school,
like
it's
always
been
this
constant,
like
unspoken
of
who
and
then
oh
wait,
the
private
you
know,
associations
using
the
field
like
if
that
needs
to
come
under.
I
almost
feel
like
in
this
town
field,
in
my
opinion,
should
come
under
like
one
umbrella,
where
one
person
is
kind
of
looking
at
the
whole
picture
prioritizing
during
the
day.
C
Obviously,
wreck
things
aren't
happening
during
the
day
unless
they're
you
know,
under
under
school
age
activities
right
or
things
like
that,
most
people
aren't
using
men's
fast
pitch
bass.
Softball
is
not
happening
at
you
know
10
o'clock
in
the
morning,
because
they're
working
so
really
just
kind
of
departmentalizing,
not
only
the
field
maintenance
structure
and
in
the
runnings
in
the
day-to-days
of
that.
But
I
I
don't
know,
and
I
think
that
way
we'd
have,
I
think,
the
way
our
structure
is
currently
and
I
once
again
I
came
into
this.
This
is.
C
It
was
news
to
me
how
this
all
is
run,
but
it
would
seem
if
there
was
more
collaboration-
and
you
know,
involvement
from
everybody
coordinating
and
having
kind
of
only
one
person
in
charge
of
all
of
that
it
seems
like
collectively
no
stone
would
go
unturned.
Like
last
year,
west
side
was
sitting
there,
and
I
saw
mr
kotecki
out
there
in
his
dress
uniform
trying
to
line
the
field
because
it
is
the
rec
field.
Is
it
a
board
of
that
field?
Is
it
oh
wait?
C
We
do
a
lot
of
things
really
great
and
it's
awesome
and
we
have
a
lot
of
things
going
for
us,
but
I
think
what
we're
dealing
with
now
and
looking
at
our
fields
is
a
problem,
and
I
think
we
need
to
figure
out
a
way
to
departmentalize
it
make
it
under
one
umbrella,
and
I
think
that
would
we
wouldn't
have
to
form
this
group
I
mean
they
would
only
be
doing.
This
is
what
I'm
saying
so
I
think
yes,
part
of
that
recommendation
should,
in
my
opinion,
I
would
like
to
put
forward.
C
How
do
we
streamline
the
process
to
make
sure
all
the
needs
of
the
town
are
being
met
and
someone's
kind
of
looking
at
it?
Five
steps
ahead.
I
think
that
would
be
important
so
because
we
can
say
all
of
this,
but
there
needs
to
be
some
ownership
on
who's.
Maintaining
you
know
what
and
also
the
report
needs
to
clearly
define
in
my
opinion,
which
it
states
on
some
yeah.
C
We
can
say
we
have
these
fields
here,
but
you
know,
as
chad,
frost
had
presented
the
quality,
we
have
some
fields,
but
the
quality
is
less
than
usable,
and
so
we
don't
want
that
to
get
missed
in
our
dream
list,
where
we
say.
Let's
add
these
and
then
no
one
wants
to
update
those
ones
that
are
like
kind
of
limping
or
limping
along.
B
So
I'll
interrupt,
if
I
might,
I
got
a
a
thing
in
the
chat
from
counselor
counselor
bruce
wack
said
he's
gonna
have
to
check
out
here
in
a
couple
of
minutes
if
he
leaves
that's
our
quorum,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
handle
the
business.
C
Let
me
just
close
my
closing
thought,
then,
okay,
so
I
think
it's
important
to
figure
out
a
way
to
make
sure
that
we
look
at
all
of
that,
so
that
we're
not
handled
handed
this
again.
How
do
we
prevent
from
getting
here
again,
so
I
think,
by
having
this
group,
we
need
to
think
about
it.
We
can
name
all
the
fields
we
want,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
how
do
we
not
get
to
here
again?
C
B
So
frank,
I
think
yeah
the
the
things
that
we
need
to
cover
if
there's
anything
that
we
can
decide
on
here
tonight,
I
I
guess,
or
or
as
you
know,
kind
of
chad's
question:
how
do
we
move
forward
or
how
do
we
coalesce
these
thoughts?
B
B
You
know
the
great
great
comments
about
the
coordination
and
we
can
certainly
include
that
in
our
a
report,
but
I
don't
wanna,
you
know
I
I
I
think
what
we
have
to
do
is
we
really
have
to
come
down
with
you
know,
boiling
this
down
to
numbers
and
what
we're
going
to
do
and
come
up
with
maybe
plan
a
and
plan
b
that
we
can
present
to.
You
know
the
the
council
and
others
to
to
move
this
along,
because
you
know
we
can.
B
We
can
stay
here
for
a
long
time,
but
anyway,
with
that
frank,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
back
over
to
you
because,
like
I
say,
our
meeting
is
going
to
end
here
in
a
couple
minutes.
So
we've
got
as
soon
as
a
couple.
People
need
to
leave.
D
So
so
here
here
is
just
my
thought
so
because
I
took
a
couple
notes
on
what,
if,
if
we
took
your
list
that
you
just
presented
that
you've
kind
of
summarized
everything
and
we
we
start
meeting
with
with
I'll
call
them
the
special
meetings
so
meet
in
two
weeks,
if
you
get,
if
you
were
to
get
that
out
to
all
of
us,
so
we
can
look
at
it
review
it
and
to
me
we,
I
think,
we've
all
decided
that
the
high
school
is
our
would
be
our
first
domino
if
you
would
and
start
to
work,
we
kind
of
know
what
we
want.
D
Let's
get
it
written
down,
and
this
is
this
is
what
we
would
like
up
there,
you
kind
of
have
that
there
already,
but
then
we
talked
about
sun
park,
so
if
we
decided
that
part
of
the
high
school's
needs
could
be
met
by
putting
certain
fields
at
sutton
park-
okay,
let's
so
that's
you
know,
step
two.
If
you
would
so
we
go
down
to
that
now.
What
does
that
affect?
Well
if
we
do
that,
then
there's
a
little
league
field
that
we
have
to
that
we've
displaced.
D
So
what
is
what
are
the
ramifications
of
doing
that?
So,
okay,
we
can
only
put
two
fields
there,
that
of
these
types
of
fields.
Then
we
have
to
kind
of
and
follow
the
dominoes
and
we've
also
talked
about
clyde
chester
and
how
that
fits
in
because
going
down
the
high
school
path.
That
way
is
is
one
fork
and
then,
when
you
just
start
with
the
whole,
you
know
possibly
using
claw
chester
for
for
full
rectangles,
that's
kind
of
a
different
fork,
but
you're
still
doing
things
there
that
are
affecting
others.
D
So
if
we
were
to
take
this,
send
it
send
it
to
all
of
our
members
and
next
week
I
think
we
in
our
next
meeting,
we
start
like
locking
and
loading-
and
this
is
this
is
this-
is
our
path
forward
and
kind
of
common
consensus
within
our
organ
within
our
group
on
what
makes
sense
and
and
trying
to
fulfill
as
many
needs
as
we
can
and
see
where
it
takes
us.
I
mean
that's
just
my
because
I
totally
agree
with
chad.
D
It's
it's
we're
getting
to
the
end
and
we've
kind
of
talked
about
it.
We
kind
of
know
what
we
want
to
do.
D
We
got
great
input
from
the
new
ad
kind
of
on
the
line
of
what
we
were
talking
about,
which
is
great,
so
we
were
kind
of
going
down
the
right
path,
but
to
make
decisions
and
just
sit
down
and
start
putting
them
down,
and
this
is
what
we
want
to
do
and
I
think
it's
it's
time.
I
I
totally
totally
agree
with
you,
chad
and
I
know
a
lot
of
us
are
concerned
about
costs
and
things
like
that.
D
But
again,
it'll
go
back
to
meeting
one,
it's
part
of
our
charter,
but
kind
of
not
our
charter.
You
know
our
charter
is.
This
is
what
we
we've
come
up
with.
We've
talked
to
all
the
people
in
town
that
have
you
know
an
interest
from
the
different,
not
everyone,
obviously
but
those
organizations,
and
we
can
sit
down
and
just
start
teeing
it
up.
I
totally
agree
with
chad.
D
B
Are
kind
of
a
different
ranking
just
to
I'm
sorry
to
interrupt
you
too
counselor
borderline
has
her
hand
up,
and
if
we
can
get
down
to
a
adjournment
here
before
people
have
to
leave,
that
would
be
fabulous.
So
we
can.
C
It's
fine.
I
just
feel
that
also
if
we
talked
about
the
fields
and
the
coordination
of
the
fields
as
a
concern
as
to
the
fields
that
we
may
need,
it
would
seem
to
me
before
the
next
meeting,
then
one
would
think
that
we
would
need
to
know
what's
our
usability
to
the
middle
school
softball
field
before
I
can
take
that
list
and
really
piece
it
apart.
C
I
would
need
to
then
know
exactly
what
the
schedules
look
like.
So
I,
before
we
rush
something
I
always
want
to
make
sure
we
have
a
good
product.
So
then,
I
think
at
the
next
meeting
we
need
to
know
have
a
schedule
in
front
of
us
to
know
exactly.
Okay,
when
this
is
done.
How
often
are
we
really
going
to
be
able
to
use
it
before
we
eliminate
saying?
Well,
they
just
built
one
and
hopefully
with
time
we'll
be
able
to
use
it.
C
Okay,
that's
I
mean
we
can
say
that
a
middle
school
softball
field's
coming
on
the
on
on
on
site
and
we
should
be
able
to
use
it,
but
I
haven't
heard
from
anybody
from
board
of
ed
or
what
the
schedule
looks
like.
So
I
just
would
hate
to
recommend
something
thinking
we
can
and
then
we've
realized
that
we
only
can
use
it
for
a
very
short
time
and
it
doesn't
really
help
us
and
then
the
girls
are
boxed
out
again.

Okay
agreed,
I
don't
know
how
we
do
that,
but
next
reading,
so
I
would
suggest
we
have
a
special
meeting
in
two
weeks,
which
would
be
october
1st
our
because
our
next,
our
next
scheduled
meeting
would
be
the
15th
of
the
third
thursday
would
be
the
15th.
D
So
I
suggest
october
1st
is
a
special
meeting
at
seven
o'clock
and
then
our
our
regularly
scheduled
meeting
would
be
the
15th
of
october
and
jerry's
gonna,
we'll
refinalize
what
he
was
just
working
on,
send
that
to
us
and
then
we'll
we'll
all
look
at
that
and
we'll
start
hashing
out
the
dirty
details.
