Commission discussion contrasted wooden picnic-table options (roughly $150 each) and metal‑legged tables (about $500 each). One commissioner argued metal legs last longer; staff and others noted that proper covering and painting had prolonged the life of existing wood tables. The commission voted to purchase wooden tables with the additional proviso that tarps be acquired to cover the tables during winter months. Commissioners planned to paint resurfaced tables with an already‑purchased five‑gallon bucket of paint when staffing allowed.

On Adirondack chairs, commissioners decided to buy six composite chairs (nonwood, non-plastic description used in the record) and set a ceiling of up to $100 per chair (total up to $600). Commissioners discussed theft risk and noted potential protections such as cameras but took no new action on security.

The votes were recorded by voice as unanimous. Staff will proceed with procurement within the approved amounts and return to the commission if higher-cost options or additional spending requests are needed.

Ending: Commission members asked staff to track installation/placement and painting schedules and to report back at the next meeting if invoicing or supply constraints emerge.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lakeville Park Commission, 6-26-25","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners voted to buy six wooden picnic tables paired with tarps for winter protection and approved purchasing six composite Adirondack chairs (up to $600 total).","taxTitle","Town of Lakeville, Plymouth County, Massachusetts","taxId",58187,"location","Massachusetts","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6521400,"Lakeville Parks Commission hears Clear Pond budget shortfall, staffing and maintenance needs",243,1657000,1900000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5094897-549b0c0dfe053ccb190e3b36bc651bda&start=1657&end=1900","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5094897-549b0c0dfe053ccb190e3b36bc651bda/thumbnail_1657000.jpg","/articles/6521400/Massachusetts/Lakeville-Parks-Commission-hears-Clear-Pond-budget-shortfall-staffing-and-maintenance-needs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6521400-e48659ff4e59c62b5f867b29b8e07081/orig.mp4?Expires=1771205841&Signature=CaeMYbXjpCM6OF2nLK2yyU7yZWwhlcTD8HlHsgSBTnMsp4dLxTp3dquj0mmdFUJzjXanpADTLFKRMzWWeN1NppIL~o1r-0eL-uUfyYZe7K5227xA3d1e~oooi2tIMJq9Og6nvD03mDEPNYOMtG~Iy2W6tqiTQuJmIs4akLjOdcmjdReiCqiziMnFIAx-L6aQpMtY-ifmsMDeXTHLHWHQg39tYTArewDCDZKP4Diqax3pT0G9ki0Fr8SdM02k9ctMVH8imD3CKD98ibBXNqP50vQApT2lSh8UCMzI1vMHBHZaqLLzTZB0IGY9WmKQb7tpMypINcOSvlMjSfkKSgXsVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parks staff told the Town of Lakeville Parks Commission on June 26 that Clear Pond’s 2025 swim-season operations are running a projected deficit and that several maintenance items require near-term attention.

Staff presented a revenue and expense summary for Clear Pond and related parks. Revenue items discussed included season passes, concessions (concession revenue to date $5,369 with four operating days remaining), swim lessons (revenue $1,500 to date), group outings, and gate fees (gate revenue to date $7,800, below a $6,000 target for next year). For the 2026 fiscal-year revenue budget staff proposed $26,650 for Clear Pond operations. Salary obligations are the primary driver of the deficit: current salary appropriations for Clear Pond were described as $42,500 for the 2026 budget, with other expenses of $6,150 yielding a program total of $48,650 and a projected shortfall of roughly $22,000. If all current staff (nine employees) worked full-time for the remaining season weeks, staff said salaries could rise to about $58,700, producing a larger projected loss.

Staff also reported an equipment loss when a freezer failed during a multi-hour power outage; the freezer held surplus concession inventory (ice cream) that was lost and will need replacement. The freezer replacement cost was described as approximately $600; staff noted there is sufficient remaining food-services budget to cover the replacement.

On maintenance, staff said the Loon Pond Lodge bathroom piping will be replaced the week after the meeting and that Clear Pond’s pump/water service remains offline (no water to the bathrooms); in the interim two ADA porta-potties and a handwashing station are onsite. Commissioners were updated that sprinkler repairs at Commissioners Field were completed after one contractor declined the job and another (local landscaper) repaired the system; the town is awaiting the invoice. Staff reported that repair-and-maintenance spending is over budget by about $9,000 but that other fund lines (groundskeeping, supplies, facility improvements) have balances available.

Staff told commissioners that lifeguard staffing has increased from zero to eight or nine and that one additional hire remains to be completed. Commissioners discussed the town’s ability to carry operating losses and the options to reallocate savings if needed; staff indicated the select board/town administrative processes are available for additional transfers if the commission identifies a capital need later in the year.

Ending: Staff will provide updated figures and any plumbing-timing confirmations at the next meeting; commissioners asked staff to monitor seasonal payroll scenarios and return with options if the projected deficit remains.","Commissioners were briefed on Clear Pond swim season finances, staffing, lost freezer inventory, pending plumbing work and recreational-program revenues; staff reported a budget shortfall in swim operations for the remainder of 2025.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6521405,"Lakeville Parks Commission approves summer camps, charity tournaments and a weekday field reservation",0,2011000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5094897-549b0c0dfe053ccb190e3b36bc651bda&start=2011&end=2011","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5094897-549b0c0dfe053ccb190e3b36bc651bda/thumbnail_2011000.jpg","/articles/6521405/Massachusetts/Lakeville-Parks-Commission-approves-summer-camps-charity-tournaments-and-a-weekday-field-reservation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6521405-f5fdafe8be35f5814649f968dad57fc6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771205841&Signature=iKupLxq3c-M91rm-6JEAIRmEmwREAsqjJtJSDJrHiE5DAmeXKvcGIDf4Ia0JBVuJSgcw85qf1J9eJuYK7CL0T3CxQCkUfw4g5i-2Z4npbTJpeqb6j9F7ZaApI6XYf4CF9dERcn~QGJfrhEypOd3QJ7mac5bNxQqTmEU~x44nVFHAX7uYSxpvmsgHZf76P4oC8VO8YEzZ~JS74OHej0Rzj1w-48E38TcyoHdzmI-ts0Wum98JbwJ1RaLP84vG080ptwElo7O2eX9xjQxDd1EscMn6TTQZYz2M9e0vZ~2vZDBsMoDGb7NNanEqBupxgB-oqwZAsoJszezp1p0LepNv7A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Lakeville Parks Commission on June 26 approved several summer field permits and fee arrangements for camps and tournaments, including a six-week Monday-night football camp, two charity volleyball tournaments (one with a fee waiver) and a weekday field reservation request from the FLAA youth baseball organization.

The actions affect use of Ted Williams/old soccer fields, John Pond Park, and Field 1 at the town complex. Commissioners voted to allow Eric Stanley to run a six-session football camp Mondays from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in July and August and to charge the clinic/tournament rate of $12 per player for that camp. The commission also approved the Looney Legacy Foundation’s memorial “blooper ball” adult charity softball tournament at John Pond Park on Aug. 9 (Aug. 10 rain date) with a waiver of the per-player clinic/tournament fee. Separate action approved a volleyball tournament on Aug. 16 raising funds for cystic fibrosis with a fee waiver; the commission also approved a July 20 adult volleyball tournament and honored the older $2-per-player form for that event.

The commission approved an event on July 27 for a team get-together (estimated ~100 people) organized by a local booster club (identified in the record as Amy, later transcribed as “Amber”), setting a flat reservation/donation fee of $50 when the group asked to reserve/section off park space. The commission noted that public use remains first-come, first-served unless an organizer asks to have an area reserved.

Separately, the commission approved adding Field 1 to FLAA’s weekday field pass for weeknight use (Sundays excluded because of men’s softball play and existing morning use). Commissioners specifically excluded Field 4 from that addition because an existing user (referred to in the record as “Samurai”) pays rent and performs operations/maintenance on Field 4.

Commissioners asked organizers to supply event insurance before events begin and reminded groups that tournament/clinic fees differ for league-approved regular-season play versus one-off events. Several motions passed by voice vote; the minutes record unanimous “all aye” outcomes for the motions listed above.

The commission and staff also reminded permit holders that the Parks Commission will re-evaluate contracts and field passes in the next annual review cycle.

Ending: Staff were directed to follow up on insurance documents and to notify groups of any additional site requirements (porta-potties, field maintenance) prior to the events.","At its June 26 meeting the Town of Lakeville Parks Commission approved an Eric Stanley summer football camp, multiple charity tournaments with fee waivers or legacy rates, and added a weekday reservation for FLAA on Field 1; the approvals were unanimous.","actionData","errors"]
