Board considers delegating routine facility-use approvals to staff
Summary
Town staff proposed streamlining the facilities use policy by delegating routine approvals to staff and only returning conflicts to the board; the board agreed to update the policy and remove certain pavilions from the reservation requirement.
Town staff asked the board whether routine facility-use approvals could be delegated to staff in order to increase efficiency, offering to provide an FYI list of scheduled uses and to return any conflicts to the board. "We could just give you a list FYI," staff said, and the board discussed deposit and insurance requirements as part of the policy rewrite.
Members noted that Pingry Park Pavilion and Memorial Park Pavilion had been discussed previously as candidates to remove from the reservation policy because those sites are difficult to manage under a reservation system. The board agreed staff should prepare an updated facilities use policy for a future meeting and to remove specified pavilions from the reservation requirement in the rewrite.
