Business Related Issues: The town is in the process on renovating the field at Heresy and has a shortfall to install new dugouts. The new dugouts would be chain link fence This will allow for a better environment for our players and coaches. A motion was made and accepted to send a letter to all HLL families and friends for donations. These donations would be in a separate account for HLL (Capitol Acct)and used for field improvements.

Where the town is in the process of accruing bids for the improvements to Hersey, it would be in our best interest to have the dugout fencing included in this bid. A motion was made and accepted to write a check to the town for the cost of this dugout fence. The check would not exceed 00.00.
