Public Comments:Susan Jennings and Maureen Harvey informed the board that they raised $1700 plus and with what they have in the dog park fund they have over $3000. After discussion it was determined that Keith would look at getting th fence put up and the dog park committee would keep fundraising to pay for the fence which Keith has already purchased with his own money. The ladies mentioned that they could have raised more in their opinion if they were allowed to use the Lion’s Pavillion. There was discussion about how the Lion’s Club should allow other’s to use the pavilion considering they aren’t paying for mowing or water testing of the Lion’s Pool. The Ladies also wanted to thank Jerry Woodard for all the help with the cart and making sure that they had everything that they needed. They also asked that maybe the selectboard sit down with the Lion’s and see if there was some common ground that could be reached. They also mentioned that the music festival was trying to charge people to enter the park even though some people weren’t there for the music festival
