Summary

Committee members discussed malfunctioning scoreboards (including a donated Legion scoreboard), invoices for ladder‑truck repairs that may be routed to insurance, and a plan to contact Northwest Energy about reconnection fees.

Committee members discussed several equipment and utility items they said need action. A staff speaker asked whether ladder‑truck repair invoices had been sent to insurance, noting, "One of those invoices states it's been the ladder truck. It says ladder on it." The committee agreed the invoices should be routed appropriately and apologized for prior misrouting.

Members also flagged malfunctioning scoreboards and discussed whether someone in town understands how to operate the donated Legion scoreboard. Staff said they would contact Northwest Energy to clarify reconnection fees for construction power and verify whether the concession stand and shop circuits can be managed separately.
