Park Commission votes to shut electricity to Ted Williams concession stand
Summary
Commissioners approved shutting off electricity to the Ted Williams concession stand to stop a recurring small monthly utility charge for unused power.
The Town of Lakeville Park Commission voted July 10 to shut off electrical service to the Ted Williams concession stand, which the commission said has produced a recurring monthly utility charge even when the snack shack is unused.
Commissioners said the snack shack had been reconfigured (chairs stored inside) and the cost of maintaining a low monthly electric account ($14 per month) no longer appeared justified. Commissioners also discussed the fee to turn power back on — previously $35, now reported around $50 — and judged that turning off electricity would still save money over time.
A commissioner moved to shut off the power and the motion passed by voice vote.
The commission directed staff to coordinate with the town’s utilities process to schedule the shutoff and to document any turn‑on fees so the commission can weigh costs if future use resumes.
