Town Board Meeting
RECREATION
• We offered over 30 different camps this summer along with the 10 plus
camps offered through the Youth Services Summer Skies program. All
but 2 or 3 programs are completed. We are totaling our numbers now, but
everything was very well attended.
• Our Late Summer/ Fall programs are currently being registered for right
now. Our YFL league Small Fry football teams have the best player
numbers that we have had in over 3 years (48). We will be placing teams
in both the JR and SR levels of play this year. We have not been able to
enter a SR level team for the past 2 years.
• Our Fall Youth Soccer program currently has in around 180 players, which
is actually down from past years. They are still straggling in...
• We also are offering Cheerleading programs, Horse riding classes,
Spanish Camp, Flag Football, Dance Classes, Fencing and Karate.
• All of the rain that we received earlier in the summer has been great for
our field turf and trees, however, we will be spraying all of our playing
fields tomorrow for ground ivy that is taking over in many places. All of
the appropriate notification signs will be put in place tomorrow morning.
PARKS
• The new fencing project in Ludlowville Park is nearing completion and
looks great. In a couple of weeks we will be replacing the "Jeff Brill"
memorial tree that was blown down this past spring.
• Usage in Myers Park remains heavy and camping for the month of August
is very good with all weekend selling out. We are also sold out for the
Labor Day weekend but then the reservations drop off as expected.
• Some of our admission and launch numbers were actually down due to
the early wet and rainy weather. We are hoping for this current great
weather to extend into the fall.
• We have requested price quotes from Shoreline Development to continue
on with our restoration of the marina. Several additional walls and docks
need to be repaired or replaced. We are staying with our original game
plan which is to do the restoration in phases.
• The concerts have completed for the season. We were never rained out
but did have 2 close calls that affected the turn out. However, we did
enjoy some really nice weather and going back to Thursday nights was a
good move. We usually averaged between $275 - $350 in donations per
show. I have already taken some phone call with suggestions for favorite
bands for next summer.
• The swim area at Myers Park is scheduled to close on Sunday August
27tH Some area municipal pools have already closed for the season. It
usually is not worth extending any farther and guards become hard to
schedule as many return to college or are involved with fall high school
sports.
• Our "Swimmer Count" in the swim area as of yesterday morning is 5,321
swimmers with 12 more days still remaining in our season.
