Summary

Following vehicle damage to parking barriers at Herlihy Park, the Whately Police Department will install a camera; the CPC discussed whether CPA funds could pay for barrier replacement and decided to research eligibility.

Committee member Chris Williams reported that two vehicles performed “donuts” at Herlihy Park during a recent storm, damaging parking barriers. The minutes indicate the turf was likely protected by frozen ground. In response, the Whately Police Department will install a camera at the site.

Committee members discussed whether CPA funds would be eligible to pay for replacement of the damaged parking barriers. Members noted precedent that some similar requests did not qualify for CPA funding and agreed to research eligibility further before making any allocation decision.

Members also shared positive feedback about the park’s skating rink and night lighting; the Recreation Department is acquiring a snow blower for maintenance.

The minutes do not record a decision to allocate funds for repairs, only a commitment to investigate eligibility and report back.
