The Lakeville Park Commission convened on September 25, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including project liaisons, technology updates, and equipment management.
The meeting began with a discussion about the assignment of project liaisons. It was clarified that Nancy would serve as the liaison for the JPP engineering project, although it was noted that liaisons may change with different projects. Members acknowledged Nancy's extensive knowledge, which would likely make her a frequent point of contact.
Next, the commission discussed a proposal to extend the service for a Windows 10 computer at ClearPond Park for an additional year. With all computer systems set to lose support in October, the commission considered the cost-effectiveness of maintaining the existing computer, which would allow for continued operations at the park. A motion was made to approve the expenditure of approximately $60.68 for the extension, which was seconded and unanimously approved.
The final significant topic addressed was the authorization for staff to use the bunker rake at John Pond Park. Historically, the bunker rake had been underutilized due to logistical challenges in transporting it between parks. The commission discussed the inefficiencies of the current process, which required staff to spend considerable time moving equipment. The need for a more streamlined approach was recognized, although no formal vote was taken during this discussion.
In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the commission's focus on improving park operations through effective project management and resource allocation. Further discussions on the bunker rake's usage and potential solutions are expected in future meetings.
