The Montpelier Parks Board met on May 3, 2023 at 7 p.m. The meeting was called to order before the minutes of the previous April 4, 2023 meeting were approved and the financial statements were accepted as presented.
The Board voted to move forward with the pool rehabilitation project, reviewing the latest schematics and approving the acquisition of an engineer’s estimate for the project.
The Board also decided to garner more concrete cost information on the new pickleball court to ascertain how much funding they are going to be looking to receive.
Pool supplies for this year are almost all acquired, and the new diving board was installed. Weather has not been cooperating with maintenance officials for painting services.
Water has been turned on to all parks, and all lifeguards are certified to work at the newly Red Cross registered pool.
Ball fields are ready to be played on, and the block and roof of the pony league dugouts are currently in their 28 day curing period.
Toby Hutchinson is helping prepare for warmer weather until Hayden Sharps and Griffin Cooley begin work once school is out.
All employees have had their paperwork filed, as well as passed their level 1 Food Service training in preparation for the May 5th health inspection.
All employee uniforms have been ordered, seedlings are being dealt with, and 4 reservations were seen for the month of April.
The Parks Board adjourned the meeting at 7:54 p.m. The next meeting will be held June 7, 2023, at 7 p.m.
