A
B
A
C
Have
a
couple
from
people
one
people
want
to
know
what's
happening
with
the
summer
session.
As
far
as
the
community
center
are
mass
going
to
be
used,
our
activities
indoors,
I
guess
it'll
save
for
the
programs,
if
they're
indoors
or
outdoors,
but
for
the
indoor
activities
or
masks
required
at
this
point,
and
what
are
the
protocols
now
that
we're
emerging
from
covid
restrictions
in
a
way.
D
B
C
D
C
B
I
also
had
a
contact
from
mike
street
on
flanders
road
asking
about
the
outcome
of
the
property
at
zero.
Flanders
road-
and
I
referred
him
to
the
town
manager
after
mark-
clarified-
that,
to
the
best
of
his
knowledge,
it's
still
commercial
property.
I
just
thought
I'd.
Let
the
commission
know
that
we
had
follow
up
on
that.
D
D
A
lot
of
these
groups
are
it's
different
type:
music,
the
no
inc,
mystic
community
band
and
organizes
all
this
one
night
we're
going
to
have
the
oh
goodness.
Now
I
can't
think
of
the
group
that
will
come
to
me
in
a
minute,
but
it's
more
orchestra
type
groups
versus
you
know
the
kind
of
sugar
and
those
types
of
groups
that
we
typically
have
down
there
so
and
I
think
the
series
lasts
six
or
seven
weeks,
so
it
should
be
good.
B
D
D
D
great
yeah.
And
finally,
this
coming
saturday
we
are
resuming
our
road
races,
we're
doing
the
tour
de
no
noink
and
registration
for
that
has
been
very
strong
and
we're
expecting
a
good
crowd.
The
weather
is
supposed
to
break
from
this
heat,
so
I
think
we're
going
to
have
a
good
crowd
participating
in
the
race,
so
we're
excited
to
kind
of
get
back
to
the
way
things
used
to
be
don
did
have
a
couple
of
questions
for
me.
I
think
we
had
mentioned
in
an
earl.
Well,
actually
I
know
we
did.
D
So
I'm
also
asked
about
esker
beach
access
for
those
with
disabilities.
We
do
put
a
moby
mat
out.
The
moving
mat
runs
from
the
handicapped
parking
spots,
all
the
way
down
into
the
water.
The
moldy
mat
allows
somebody
with
a
walker
on
a
wheelchair
to
get
across
the
sand.
It's
a
firm
surface
and
we've
had
one
out
for
a
number
of
years,
and
that
is
it's
called
a
moby
mat
mobi,
where.
C
D
He
also
asked
about
capital
improvement
funds
to
renovate
the
community
center,
so
in
this
fye
22
budget
was
kicks.
In
july
1st
we
had.
The
public
works
had
asked
for
money,
the
balance
of
the
money
to
pay
for
the
costs
associated
with
fixing
up
the
office
space,
the
old
principals
offices,
so
that
the
parks
and
recreation
staff
that
are
at
spicer
house
could
move
into
into
that
building.
D
D
A
D
D
Yeah
right
now
we're
just
focusing
on
the
main
part
of
the
room,
we're
not
knocking
down
walls.
I
think
there's
actually
like
three
rooms,
that
kind
of
run
right
in
sequence
and
for
right
now
we're
only
focusing
on
that.
I
eventually
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
do
that.
We're
looking
to
utilize
those
rooms
for
storage
right
now
for
exercise
equipment
like
if
you've
got
all
those
big
exercise,
balls
and
things
like
that.
D
That
will
be
a
place
that
we
can
put
those
so
that
we're
not
losing
floor
space
for
exercising
great
and
then
the
last
question
that
dom
had
was
the
bids
for
the
pickleball
courts
at
the
community
center
and
those
are
due
on
june
11th.
So
those
are
due
friday
and
oh
and
then
he
also
asked
about
walmarting
the
vendor
that
we
got
the
original
bid
from
is
on
the
state
bid
list
from
the
time
that
they
gave
us
the
quote
to
we
reached
out
to
him
a
couple
weeks
ago.
D
D
That's
taking
down
the
old
mats
which
actually
we're
going
to
the
bid
that
they
submitted,
included
them
taking
down
the
the
old
matting
and
we're
going
to
have
park
staff.
Do
that
so
that
we
can
bring
that
price
down
a
little
bit
great
yeah.
Thank
you
yeah.
So
those
were
the
updates
that
you
had.
You
had
asked
for
right.
B
B
D
D
D
I
had
a
meeting
with
the
golf
course
staff
today
and
we
are
at
313
season
pass
holders
which
I
think
already
exceeds
last
year
and
there's
a
it
was
a
fairly
good-sized
group
of
seasons
pass
holders
that
their
register
their
passes
expired
this
month,
so
they've
been
coming
in
to
renew
their
membership,
and
so
that
will
continue
through
the
end
of
the
month.
So
in
august
I'll
be
able
to
tell
you
what
the
final
count
was
for
this
for
this
past
fiscal
year.
A
D
A
B
D
D
D
Of
the
project
and
that's
coming
up
with
site
plans
and
doing
surveys
and
doing
that
next
step
of
work
that
it's
going
to
take
in
order
to
figure
out
budgets
in
order
to
come
up
with
a
hard
and
fast
plan
that
we
can
take
to
the
council
and
to
the
community,
and
I'm
not
sure
that
that
by
the
time
we
go
out
to
bid
hire
a
consultant
and
the
work
begins.
It
likely
would
not
be
this
next
budget
cycle.
It
would
probably
be
the
following
one.
D
B
D
B
A
A
D
D
D
Writing
those
narratives-
and
I
think
I've
said
this
before-
is
it's
been
a
lot
more
challenging
than
I
thought
it
would
be?
I
thought
it
would
be
pretty
easy,
but
when
I
start
looking
at
narratives
that
other
accredited
agencies
have
written
like
oh
boy,
we
really
gotta
work
on
our
work
on
our
narratives.
D
A
D
D
D
B
D
Those
are
all
gone,
but
I've
seen
them
not
all
of
them,
but
there's
quite
a
few
less
but
they're
popping
up
in
in
other
places.
So
I
don't
know
if
they're
just
getting
moved
around
or
what,
but
we're
still
hopeful
that
you
know
the
pratt
building
will
become
a
recreation
building
with
a
pool
and
a
gym
and
some
multi-purpose
flex
space
to
get
us
one
step
closer
to
being
able
to
better
serve
the
recreational
needs
of
the
community.
D
A
D
B
C
D
Yeah,
so
the
new
business
was
a
succession
plan.
That
is
something
that
the
commission
needs
to
approve.
Hopefully,
you've
had
a
chance
to
look
at
it.
I
think
I
talked
about
this
at
the
previous
meeting.
It
really
opened
our
eyes
when
we
started
talking
about
this
and
some
of
the
staff
got
nervous
when
we
started
asking
well,
what
are
your
plans
and
but
it?
D
What
we've
pulled
together
has
helped
us
realize
that
in
just
a
few
years,
there's
going
to
be
a
major
shift
in
the
staff
and
we
need
to
start
taking
steps
to
put
staff
that
are
in
positions
now,
maybe
not
positions
of
supervisory
or
management,
but
try
to
give
them
the
resources
so
that
when
this
shift
occurs,
they
will
be
ready
to
take
over,
and
so
that's
what
this
has
done.
So
you
know,
as
part
of
the
plan
we've
identified,
you
know,
anticipated
retirements.
D
And
we've
kind
of
tried
to
prioritize
what
needs
to
be
done
sooner
rather
than
later
and
and
part
of
the
packet
includes
kind
of
an
analysis
of
you
know.
I
mentioned
preparing
people
for
management
of
supervisory
positions,
so
part
of
this
whole
succession
plan
is
kind
of
looking
at
competencies
and
identifying
okay,
because
everybody
has
their
strengths
and
weaknesses,
but
we've
tried
to
identify
competencies
that
we
feel
are
required
of
different
positions
and
looking
at
staff
and
saying,
okay,
you
know
you're
really
good
at
this,
but
here's
a
you
know:
finance
of
budgeting.
D
D
How
are
we
going
to
get
this
person
from
point
a
to
point
b?
So
all
of
that
there's,
you
know
sample
employee
employment,
development,
employee
development
plans
in
the
document.
There's
the
employee,
competency
assessment-
and
you
know
so
all
of
that
is-
is
part
of
the
part
of
the
whole
succession
plan
and
we're
still
this.
What
I
submitted
to
you
was
not
the
entire
document,
because
we're
still
supervisors
are
still
working
on
competency
assessments
and
plans
for
some
of
the
staff,
but
eventually
that
will
all
be
part
of
this
document.
A
D
B
D
Yeah
and
that's
what
we've
seen
is
a
lot
of
the
staff
have
been
here
for
a
lot
of
years
and
they're
all
going
to
be
leaving
within
the
same
couple
of
years,
and
these
are
positions.
You
know
these
are
supervisory
positions
that
people
are
going
to
be
leaving
and
where
we
can,
you
know
not
not
every
position.
