Supervisor Hammond spoke with our Recreation Director Casey O’Conner asking to call other Towns to see how their parks are used.    Also, the ball fields are laid out by the Home School Baseball programs and Councilman Maul stated that the Baseball program has not had any issues with coinciding with other programs.  A schedule for Bullis Park would eliminate any conflicts with other organizations per Councilman Maul.  We need to incorporate a policy on how to rent out pavilions at the park.    Also, question to Attorney Villani is to whether we (the Town) can run all recreation programs at Bullis Park?  The Walworth Recreation Department schedules all their programs through Ginegaw Park.
