Appropriate signage will be posted. 23.We met with a consultant at the tennis courts on January 16th to look at Court #4 to see if it was feasible to add lines for an additional Pickleball court. Unfortunately, we do not meet the minimum "overrun" safety standards to add lines for an additional court. The consultant did suggest painting the lines for a pickleball court on the blacktop under one of the tunnels. A portable net could be made available for players to use. Ms. Fisher shared an email from Mr. Benoit Willocq suggesting consideration for adding a pickleball court under each tunnel. After further discussion, the Recreation Commission would like the staff to pursue adding lines for one pickleball court under at least one tunnel. The Commission would also like to continue to pursue the addition of a new set of platform/pickleball courts across the street from the park in the open grass area. 24.The Recreation Commission has made a request to Mr. Jeffery King, Town Board Liaison, that the Recreation Commission would like to sit with the Town Board at least once a year, so the Recreation Commission can express to the Town Board their interests and what they would like to see accomplished. Mr. King will relay this to the Town Board. 25.Enclosed was additional information on Remote Control Car Racetracks as a follow-up to our last meeting in the event the Commission would like to consider this in the future. Town Board member, Mr. King suggested that a one-day family race event could be held as an introduction to the sport. JEFFERY KING, TOWN BOARD LIASION UPDATE: Mr. King updated the Recreation Commission on the status regarding the study of the Carpino-Steffens Field which is being conducted by Fields for Kids. Mr. King stated that there will be no track or playground, and that the Town will retain full ownership. The study will be looking into building 2 fields, 1 turf and 1 grass. Chairman Druker expressed concern over their lack of knowledge regarding a turf field being installed and stated that the Recreation Commission should have a say and input in the decision making regarding the Carpino-Steffens Fields. Commissioner Gutter expressed his concerns that the Recreation Commission agreed to the feasibility study to be done but now the Town Board is signing an agreement without the Recreation Commission's input. The Recreation Commission would like to see the agreement before it is agreed upon and signed. Chairman Druker has requested a Resolution be passed and sent to the Town Board expressing their concerns for their lack of involvement in the process and that the Commission is to be involved going forward.
