Tom McCaffery called the meeting to order at 7:05 PM and noted that since no quorum was present, no business of the District could be conducted. Patty Schuford brought before the Commission a request for a permit for July 16, 2006 at the Yacht Club facility (rather than Vet's Park as that site is booked with a wedding party). Patty indicated she expected 35-40 people, as she was holding a clambake under a tent and catered by Jamesport Country Kitchen. Ed Grohoski noted that a porta-potti is on site and offered to place trashcans on site. Patty declined the offer of trashcans, indicating the caterer and she would clean up any trash. Patty suggested that perhaps the ladies could use the Veterans Park bathrooms if they were willing to travel that far. Patty was advised to contact Gail Faircloth for the appropriate permit forms and to obtain requisite insurance coverage naming the Park District as an additional insured. Tom indicated that her permit should not be a problem. Frank Polistena indicated that his game was rained out last week and was seeking to reserve Thursday's for'his "rain date." Since the facility is presently available on Thursdays, Tom indicated his approval for reserving Thursdays as the rain date for Frank's league and furthermore that Tuesdays be reserved as the rain date for Mike Ryan's league. On behalf of a third party Frank complained that Mike Ryan was denying non- league players from playing in Mike's fundraising toumaments. Tom advised Frank to have the third party appear for the Park Commissioners if there was a problem. In addition, Tom will ask Mike Ryan about the situation to get Mikes side of the story. Ed Grohoski reported that lifeguard equipment (an air horn) was missing after a Sunday volleyball game, and that Mike Ryan has replaced the missing air homo After a lengthy discussion, it was suggested that Ed look into a solution to securing the lifeguard equipment. Frank Polistena reported that the Town of Southold has removed the grass inside the volleyball court. RECEIVED AUG 1 6 2006 Southol~ Town Clerk Barbara Droskoski sought a date when beaches would open and determined that said date was June 24.

Ed indicated that he though that the County's Board of Health required these signs. Tom directed Ed to have the signs made up professionally and put them up at each location on the attendant's booth. Barbara indicated that lifeguards have their own masks, but spares are needed. Ed indicated that we had them. Barbara also needs keys for each facility. Ed reported that the Veterans Park ropes are ready to go in the water and that one marker for Breakwater will be placed offshore directly in front of the lifeguard stand. Barbara will make sure that each lifeguard has the required certifications. Ed reported that Coke is willing to place a vending machine at Veterans Park and will give the District 10% if they make a profit. John Cushman advised Ed that Coke should provide the District with a release before placing the machine and Tom indicated that the machine should be properly secured.
