g. Lisa read Bill's email regarding the Wall Street Ballfield sub committee report. Tlic sub committee is trying to conic
up with a consensus for a time to meet.
h. Much discussion ensued regarding financial. Russ is the chair and will form the sub committee. Preference would he
to have a separate non -DRC checking account Ox., friends of" Dryden Recreation.,,) which is believed to be
permissible only if the signers arc NOT DRC members or Town employees. This kiiid of account would allow it
legitimacy when donations are being offered and will also allow immediate access to the funds for immediate
recreation uses vs. the donations having to be presented to the Town on behalf of recreation and being placed in the
general fund for use the following year.
