"old nets"?<br>
<br>
This town put up nets , which shouldn't be left out in the elements,
and they lasted about a year?<br>
<br>
How much revenue, is this town bringing in on our opening up a
scarce resource in this town, that supports replenishing materials
to continue to perpetuate this current activity?<br>
<br>
My question is, "Why are we we doing this?"<br>
<br>
"Who is benefiting?"<br>
<br>
What benefit is this to our community and what is the long term
commitment in doing so mean to the tax payers of this town?<br>

<div>Public Works ordered replacement nets as there was
damage/wear to the old nets. The contractors put up the new
nets recently, but incorrectly. As you may recall, we are one
of the unusual places that actually take the nets up and down,
based on whether they are being used or not. The contractor's
installers apparently just assumed we were like MNCPPC, the
schools, etc and put the net up semi-permanently so it could not
be taken down by the teams/town. We discovered this error
yesterday and the contractor will return and meet with our
Public Works Director tomorrow morning and get the nets
installed correctly.</div>

<div>To my knowledge (and I have been driving by and watching
fairly regularly) the teams that have been using the field were
utilizing the old nets correctly--keeping them up only while
they are utilized for play. I believe that there will be much
improved compliance on the part of the teams this year as they
are now used to the rules/regulations.</div>
