Review /Approve Minutes
Minutes from 10/2/14 meeting were approved, 3-0.
Turf Lighting
DPW Director - Jack Rodriquenz reported that the underground wires for lights at the turf were
damaged. Best guess on cost to run new lines is $6 $10k. Per Loxi Jo Calmes, School
Superintendent, the School Building Contingency Fund for the school project would provide
funding up front and then a discussion can be had about where the money will come from on

this side i.e. Park Budget, DPW Budget, etc. The scoreboard is not working quite right either.
Pete McCauliff is having someone look at that.
Turf Plaques
Plaques are up at the turf - both on the monument and on the building. Plaques were
completed/provided thanks to Rhonda Day. Leominster Monument will hold the bench until
after construction on the new school is complete. Sandy Laserte was going to talk to The
McCarrons about the memorial bench and its placement. This bench is granite.
Turf Drainage
DPW Director - Jack Rodriquenz talked to the head engineer on the school project. Discussion
of the possibility of applying for a grant to fix the area of gulley was discussed. A proposal of a
new capture point of water from the parking lot was discussed. This may require a new
manhole with larger pipe - perhaps 500 feet. 2^d Option - Could go to where current 6 inch pipe
is. The whole field drains to a cistern. The current catch basins near snack bar and perimeter
drain are backing up. Recent rains were torrential. Does the settling tank have a silt clean out?
Jack says we may want to see if there's anything in there. This would require digging a hole
right in the middle of the playing field. Should a well be considered? When the new access road
goes in maybe it would be best to tie in and pick up more from that drainage. Jack will follow up
on this with the school project. Is there contingency money in the school project budget to
help cover the re-routing of this drainage?
Other Turf Items
The wall behind the bleachers needs to be taken out and replaced. Powell took a look. It
needs restructuring and tie in. This needs to be addressed before the school roadway goes in.
Jeff Bingham from LTAFA reported that the recent Miles for Myles. seemed to be successful.
Turf Fees/Usage
The Bengals sent their usage dates to Pete McCauliff not the Park Commission. They used 50
hours for the season for Saturday and Sunday games.
We need to top dress the Reservoir Fitzgerald Field. It was beaten up by football practice being
held there. We should ask the Bengals to help pay for this. Jack will get a price to have this
done.
Outstanding Fees to be Invoiced are as follows:
Lunenburg Bengals: 2013 = $5,000 plus 2014 = $5,000 Plus possible cost to fix Fitzgerald Field.
LYSA: 2013 Fall = $5,000 plus 2014 Spring = $5,000
Corinne will draw up bills.
Bob Robuccio will see if MIAA pays for field use for playoffs. If they do, who are they paying?
Concession fees should be restructured.
