SUPERVISOR REPORTS
Supervisor Price reported on the Hommocks Field, saying that the Town had authorized the
hiring of a consultant to assess the conditions about six months ago. She said that the
Town is working with the schools and recreation to find solutions, but because it is a
marsh it would cost a lot of money to correct. She said one proposal has a cost of$50,000,
it would add 8 inches of soil and a new drainage system would have to be installed. The
DEC would have to be involved as well as the school. She said that the intent was to revisit
with the consultant.
ADJOURNMENT
On motion made and seconded the meeting was adjourned at 10:25 PM to an
Executive Session to discuss pending litigation.
