With the large numbers and the timing involved, we are not sure what assistance we can provide at this time. 22.New exterior signs for the ice rink have been ordered. They will take 5 weeks to reproduce. 23.A petition to reinstate the Friday evening pool hours has been passed around at the Hommocks pool by a pool patron. The petition has approximately 30 signatures.

We have filled the late summer schedule with additional sport program offerings. REQUEST FROM NEW ROCHELLE YMCA: On November 24th, we received a request from the New Rochelle YMCA to see if we could be of assistance since their pool was unexpectedly closed down. Due to the short notice, we allowed New Rochelle YMCA members to come to the Hommocks Pool showing their YMCA membership pass and pay our guest fees until the end of December. Superintendent Fisher recommended extending this agreement until the end of March. This will be revisited again in the future if needed. The Commission unanimously agreed with this request. REQUEST FROM MR. JAMES COADY: A request was received from Mr. James Coady, MYHA, requesting to rent the Cut Hut space for the 2015 season for storage. Superintendent Fisher recommended that the fee be waived for this area since MYHA rents so much ice from the Town. Rob Lunde has agreed to build MYHA some additional storage space for next season. The Commission unanimously agreed with this request. Town of Mamaroneck Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes December 9, 2014 - Page 3 SUPERINTENDENT'S UPDATE CONTINUED: REQUEST FROM MR.
