Monday Night's BOE Field Vote


The BOE voted to approve the Field Policy document, 4-1. Only Bob Hutton voted 'no'. Mr. Hutton wants Hawes, a Village Council-controlled field, put in the rotation for lights along with Glen School.

Rec Policy scribe Jack Carroll commited to reducing the activity at Glen School next year by 50%. The feeling is the new artifical surface at Maple will ease the field crunch thus allowing the Glen School folks to catch some relief.

Some items that bear watching...

a) Portable lights may violate some Village laws regarding noise codes. The Rec Commitee's answer to this would be permanent lights.

b) Dec 29 - return date for the poorly written Open Space survey.

c) January 2007 - milestones for the Schoor DePalma fields and parks study include unveiling of suggestions to maximize existing field space and possibly the recommendaion to install fields at 8 of the previously identified tracts. This includes 2 facilities located within throwing distance of Hawes, Grove and Pleasant Parks.

We'll continue to monitor the proceedings but one thing is certain. Bob Hutton is no friend of Hawes.
