HOMMOCKS POOL GUEST POLICY:
Currently, each seasonal Hommocks Pool permit holder is allowed to bring only 1 guest
each day. Ms. Fisher proposed allowing seasonal permit holders (resident and non
resident) to bring up to 4 guests each day during the school year.
After a brief discussion, on a motion by Commissioner Devaney, seconded by
Commissioner Morello, the Commission unanimously agreed to allow seasonal
Hommocks Pool permit holders (resident and non resident) to bring up to four guests
per day, paying the prevailing guest fee, during the school year . This policy is for a one
year trial basis.
NEW MAIL-IN REGISTRATION POLICY:
Ms. Fisher briefly updated the Commission on the new mail-in registration policy that
will be utilized for the spring-summer program registration.
Residents will be able to register for most Recreation Department programs (with the
exception of camps and individual tennis lessons) through the mail. Applicants will
need to obtain an application (either in the back of the brochure or online) and return it
with two proofs of residency and payment in the form of a check or money order.

Mail-In Registration Policy Continued:
Chairman Druker asked why applicants would not be allowed to write in their credit card
numbers. Ms. Fisher explained that the Town only allows credit cards to be swiped, not
manually entered.
The Commission unanimously endorsed the new policy.
Chairman Druker then requested that Ms. Fisher draft a letter to Town Administrator
Altieri requesting that payment by credit card be allowed through the mail.
HOMMOCKS PARK ICE RINK TRUST FUND WITHDRAWAL:
In 2010, the Hommocks Park Ice Rink will need to purchase a new Zamboni. The order
must be placed in 2009, along with a $20,000 deposit. The remainder of the money due
will be provided for in the 2010 Town Budget.
On a motion by Commissioner Rainaldi, seconded by Commissioner Plansky, the
Commission unanimously approved the $20,000 withdrawal from the Hommocks Park
Ice Rink Trust Fund for the deposit on the new Zamboni.
