Linnehan Chairman Commissioner’s Business Peter Finnegan 1) Fee Schedule Vice-Chairman As you know we have been receiving calls from various permit holders regarding the new fee structure that was approved by the City Council and implemented by the Board of Parks this spring. My office has also received Thomas Caunter calls from several City Councilor’s concerned that the increases to the permit fees are too high and we need to provide some relief where ever possible. This can be achieved if the Board Of Parks consider the following Ryan Rourke amendments: -The sharing/splitting of the cost of the maintenance/ groundskeeper/care taker (s) assigned to the Melissa Desroches event (if possible)? -Separating out the cost of game permits and discounting practice permits etc. -Considering the stacking of multiple permit users as it pertains to youth sports etc. -Eliminate the light fee and related electrical costs. 2) Converting Knott Park at 150 Douglas Rd into a Veterans Park using State Earmark Funding On Tuesday June 27th the Council Subcommittee on Parks and Recreation met and disgust converting Knott Park at 150 Douglas road in to a Veterans Park using State Earmark funding. The Subcommittee voted to send this request to the Board Of Boards for their review and consideration.
