Town staff: bathrooms working but finishing work means concessions and restrooms will likely stay closed until spring
Summary
Parks staff said new bathroom plumbing and fixtures at the fields are installed and functional but internal finishing work (patching, doors and fixtures) remains; the board agreed to keep facilities closed for fall ball and aim for spring readiness, while considering which tasks volunteers may assist with.
Town parks staff reported that the new bathrooms have water and functioning fixtures but need patchwork, hand dryers and soap dispensers installed and some doors replaced to meet accessibility standards. Staff recommended keeping the facilities closed for fall ball and targeting spring completion to ensure safety and code compliance.
Members discussed what volunteer work is permitted versus tasks that require licensed contractors (for example, electrical or fire-suppression work) and agreed volunteers could assist with painting and cleanup if allowed by town policy. The parks staff said the concession stand needs painting and minor repairs; volunteers could help with non-code tasks in spring if the town permits it.
