The meeting was called to order by Warren Offley, Chairperson at 6:40. Judy made a motion to accept
the Minutes of the November 1, 2019 meeting as written, seconded by Tom Clark and unanimously
voted.
OLD BUSINESS: Discussion about the RFPs for 2020 and how we should proceed. Tom Bernier is going
to set up a meeting with the legal firm and Judy to try to get some answers on the RFPs. We need to
make sure all conditions are included in the RFPs so the bidders know what the requirements are. These
requirements should have been registered.
0COMMUNICATIONS: Porta Potty Bill from United Site Services for December 2018, January , 2019,
February 2019. Total 377.85 was given to Gill to call and get straightened out. He called and got
nowhere. Tom Bernier called and spoke to a lady who is processing our dispute on the bill .
Letter from Scott Castle , 181 Shores St., regarding fence.
NEW BUSINES: Tom Bernier received three quotes for fencing. 1. $18,000; 2, $15,000 and 3,
13,610.The bid is for 380 feet of 6 foot chair link $7918. 250 feet of 4 foot chair link and a gate. This
would replace the broken fence around the 8th hole by Scott Castle’s property and continue around to
Fisher Street where the house was demolished. The gate would allow heavy equipment into the area
when needed. A motion was made by Tom Clark and seconded by Warren that up to $15,000 be
appropriated for the fence as long as the money was in the Golf account and unanimously voted. Tom
Bernier and Judy will check into the money situation.
GIL ALEGI: Gil reported that a check valve and flapper were needed to get the water pump
operational. He has been having trouble finding the parts because of the age of the pump and the
current conditions. $ 1,000 is needed for the replacement parts because the City owns the pump. Tom
Clark made a motion to pay the $1,000 and Tom Bernier seconded the motion. It was unanimously
voted.
PUBLIC INPUT: None.
NEXT MEETING: June 11, 2020 6:30 pm.
