Commission approves $842 fish order, police detail and porta‑potty for May 2 fishing derby
Summary
The commission approved payment for 150 fish ($842), authorized up to $400 for police detail at $98/hour, and authorized $50 for a porta‑potty rental for the May 2 conservation fishing derby; organizers said Lions Club and Garden Club contributions will offset some costs.
The Sandown Conservation Commission approved several routine spending requests to support its conservation fishing derby set for Saturday, May 2.
Colleen Olsen, the derby organizer, told the commission she ordered 150 fish at a cost of $842 from Souhegan Valley Aquaculture and requested payment from the commission’s education/awareness account. The commission moved and approved payment by voice vote. Olsen also confirmed a police detail for derby day at $98 per hour and requested authorization to pay up to $400 for staffing; the commission moved and approved that authorization. A $50 porta‑potty rental from Pete's Toilet Rentals was also approved to be paid from the education account.
Olsen said about 10–15 children were registered at the time of the meeting, trophies had been ordered (organizer covered a $10 charge), and t‑shirts were on order (Lions Club expected to help cover costs). The Garden Club had contributed an additional $200 toward event expenses. Members discussed logistics including site prep, weed whacking, and volunteer support prior to the event.
The commission approved the motions by voice vote; the items will be paid from the commission’s designated education/awareness account.
