Dear Audrey,<br><br>We are taking it seriously. I have been in contact with staff and other council members multiple times per day monitoring and seeking solutions to the problems at the field as they develop (for instance, I just found out that there are now two instances of the nets being left up when they should have been taken down).<br>
<br>I checked the nets (and for other behavior you have reported) when I drove by the field at around 7:00 PM, and they were up, but the field was in use. I'm planning to check them again every time I go past the field, which is a few times per day, and to alter my driving patterns to go that way more often. <br>
<br>We are somewhat hampered at this time by the fact that Mayor Archer is out of town and quite unavailable (I don't think he's receiving e-mail on his Blackberry), and I don't have easy access to contact information for the Ipaltecos Ausentes, who are coordinating the use of the field. I will dig through my notes and e-mails again this evening, but I don't think I have that information in them.<br>
<br>Please try to be patient as we in the town work through this problem. You graciously volunteered (which I greatly appreciate) to make sure the nets were down, and it's likely that you will need to do that more now than in the future after we have been able to contact the leaders of the Ausentes, and their leaders have been able to communicate the new policies to their membership.<br>
<br>Sincerely,<br><br>Alan Thompson<br>Ward 2 Town Council Representative<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 16, 2010 at 8:59 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ABragg7393@aol.com">ABragg7393@aol.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>Obviously our town officials did not take the strangled hawk
seriously. I am very upset that the nets were up again and unattended
tonight. Has anyone informed the people who use the field that they must
take the nets down after play? Is anyone in charge here in
town? </div>
<div>I had the nets taken down tonight. Should I be the one in charge who
checks on this on a daily basis and makes sure it is done?</div>
<div>The town can be in jeopardy. Fines, law suits etc. And if you
think this is a small matter and not of your concern, your tax dollars can be
paying for it.</div>
<div>Please address this serious matter and let's get it solved.</div>
