Negotiations with Union Employees
Pending Litigation: Mr. Marsh's Ball Field Complaint
The Town hired an architect consultant Ben Gary from Monaca &Gary to recommend alternative plans
for improvements to the existing backstop to prevent foul balls from landing on the private properties
across Dana Street opposite field one. The Town is leaning toward option 2, which is a Protective Net. A
high tenacity mesh net to extend from the backstop over the plate using galvanized steel cable
suspended on two 30'wood poles. This type of net is used at the field in the baseball complex off Route
110 in Chelmsford. The net is very effective in containing foul balls although it has a shorter, useful life
than galvanized chair link. Estimated costs$10,000.
Health Insurance
Selectman Licciardello said he wanted to invite the School Committee back to the board's next executive
session meeting to talk about his health insurance proposal.
