We at DPW have no way of cleaning and maintaining these nor do we want to get into that line of work. I am assuming that there is an alternative plan otherwise we will have to mothball these. Let me know because our response to Judy will address this issue and I don't want to hold things up. Bruce D.

We are aware of the plans to accept Carter Field. As chair of the Fields Committee I will be working with Bruce and our committee to discuss the continual maintenance of the field through our Field Sponsorship program Thanks Rick From: Tom Zahoruiko Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 8:29 AM To: Rick Gorman Subject: Carter Fields Town Acceptance Hi Rick, I'm going through the process of turning the Carter Fields, roads, and open space over to the Town, which requires a multi-step consent process starting with Planning, then Selectmen, then Town Meeting. We started last October and need a few things to wrap it up. 1 Judy Tymon (Town Planner) has asked for confirmation from you that the Town is aware that the fields are to be accepted by the Town, and that the Town realizes it will be responsible for them in the future. Of course this was the whole idea behind the creation of these fields, but she would like to be sure that everyone is on board and ready. Can you send her a simple message to acknowledge this? Let me know of any questions or concerns. Thanks for the help, Rick. Sincerely, Tom Z.
