Selectman Shea. The minutes were amended

USE OF TOWN HALL
AND LAKEVIEW LODGE KITCHEN
Rosco’s Traveling Smoke House, a locally owned business has
requested use of the Lakeview Lodge or Town Hall kitchens to cook for large
parties. Following discussion for use,
and fees to be charged, it was determined that the fee charged would be the
same as renting the school kitchen.
Their fee is $50 for the first hour and $15 per hour for each additional
hour used. Selectman Hurlburt questioned
whether this would open the door for other similar requests. The Selectmen discussed notification for
use. It was determined that there would
need to be at least a two week window of use so that it would not affect
rentals and use by civic organizations.
HOUSATONIC MODEL
SAILING BOAT CLUB
Don Ouimette, member of the Housatonic Model Sailing Boat
Club gave a presentation to the Selectmen regarding how the radio controlled
sail boats operate with regard to racing.
The club uses Hop Brook for the season from Memorial Day to Labor Day
for their races. They are asking if the
club could use the lake at Veterans Memorial Park from early April to Memorial
Day and after Labor Day to hold their events since Hop Brook is closed during
this time. First Selectwoman Gorski will
discuss libality with the insurance company and the Town Attorney on this use
before a final decision is made.
