Montgomery Recreation Board to install temporary barriers after field vandalism
Summary
Board members reported recent drive-on vandalism at the Rec Center field and directed installation of temporary measures immediately, followed by permanent gates or barriers when weather permits; repairs to the field are expected to appear in the January budget proposal.
The Montgomery Recreation Board recorded that the main field at the Rec Center suffered recent drive-on vandalism and directed staff to put temporary measures in place immediately and to plan for permanent gates or other barriers when weather allows.
The meeting minutes state the recreation building will be shut down for the winter season and that the vandalism will require field repairs. The board discussed several options for access control at the main entry points and agreed on a two-step approach: interim protections now and permanent installations later. Member Marsha Phillips was tasked to follow up on budget implications and to meet with the Town Treasurer for financial details.
Board members present were Peg Doheny, Marsha Phillips, Brendan O’Shea and Lisa Perry. The meeting was held via Zoom, was called to order at 5:05 PM and adjourned at 5:45 PM. The board instructed that temporary measures be implemented promptly; permanent barriers will be scheduled for installation as weather permits.
