Council debates pavilion reservations, cites staffing limits
Summary
Council members discussed options for pavilion reservations—online booking, SharePoint forms or first-come-first-served signs—but repeatedly flagged lack of staff to post or remove signs on weekends.
Council members debated whether to institute a reservation system for the town park pavilion, with staff and members noting logistical challenges around staffing and sign posting. "There just wasn't any, anybody to to do that," the Committee member said, describing past discussions about who would put up reserved signs and take them down.
Staff proposed using an online system (the Minerva website) or a SharePoint form as a low-contact option, but members said the town currently lacks the personnel to manage weekend sign posting and trash pickup, making a full reservation system impractical without additional staffing. The council discussed a compromise of a "first come, first serve" sign until a staff member is assigned to manage reservations.
