PUBLIC INPUT:
Tim Cobb, asks Mr. Matson if they use the money for other areas to do work now how
does it get replaced. Mr. Matson says they get more money each year so it is just
reallocated. Says he would like to see a second volleyball court at Riverview park also
the net needs a cable — They would like to have a tournament at the Clam Bake so would
like the court installed by then. Says would like to see the sand without shells and lights if
possible. Chris says he will talk to Mr. Minner but having it installed by the clambake
is pushing it. Also he says the netting on the north side of the park needs to be taller at

for people to watch. Also in favor of the lights — He says the Pete Harris plaque is
missing and it is okay for temporary. Also says the lights on the Christmas tree go out all

can change the bulbs. Sunny says led lights are the best. He says people are letting their
