TREASURER'S REPORT
S. Brautigam had been asked at the previous work session to review the budget regarding ten (10)
upcoming projects. He reported that the 10 projects are capital or ground improvements and can
be paid out of the budgeted Site Improvement account, which has $205,000 allocated. He added
that some items may be deemed maintenance items and can come out of that account. He added
that he will work with the Commissioners as the projects progress and more detail is available. He
noted that E. Grohoski had gathered information on the Breakwater walkway repair.
He reported that bills for the pedod 12/9/11 through 1/12/12 had totaled $5,483.43.
He stated that he wes struggling with the computer software and was requesting the Board
approve a $1,000 expenditure for Sage DacEasy support and another $700 for the upgrades,
which are needed in order to obtain support. He stated he will then need help integrating the
system and noted that C. Zaloom may be able to help or another IT person.
G. Goehdnger asked if we could hire a local person.
S. Brautigam responded the cost is to download and integrate and he hopes C. Zaloom can do it.
He added that another option would be to obtain a new software program such as QuickBooks.
C. Zaloom stated it is not that complex and he should be able to do it.
$. Brautigam explained that the lack of support is his struggle and that the manual is 500 pages.
C. Zaleom asked if he wants to stick with this program.
S. Brautigam responded not really, but transferdng the data would be difficult. He suggested
sticking to this for now and maybe next year look into converting. He also suggested getting a new
computer on which to download the program's upgrades.
C. Zaloom stated that the computer we have is 6 to 7 years old and a new desktop can be
obtained for about $300.
Joseph Pfaff asked how he could obtain a copy of the minutes that were just approved from the
last public session.
N. Deegan responded that he should put in a request to L. Tortora.
G. Goehringer added that last week's work session was unique and that there is usually not much
controversy at work sessions.
B. Vlcek informed that minutes are not taken dudng work sessions.
N. Deegan asked if we would purchase the computer from Liberty Data or Best Buy.
C. Zaloom responded that he had bought one from Best Buy last year for $300 and could duplicate
that.
S Brautigam asked who would transfer the data to the new computer.
2of9
N. Deegan stated Best Buy could do it.
C. Zaloom stated he would install the software and should be able to figure out how to transfer the
data.
S. Brautigam asked if we would also order the software.
C. Zaloom responded yes.
G. Goehringer suggested we allow $1,700 for the software upgrade and support, and $600 for the
computer.
MOTION by N. Deegan, seconded by C. Zaloom, all in favor and motion carded to expend
approximately $1,700 for the Sage DacEasy System software upgrade and support; and $600 for a
new PC.
S. Brautigam stated it is to be paid out of the line item of Supplies and Materials.
G. Goehringer asked for a clarification of the $1,635.90 LIPA bill.
S. Brautigam responded that that is the total of ten bills. He will get a stamp and more cleady
explain the total. He asked if the format was ok.
G. Goehdnger noted that he had seen the indication of 11 bills, but hadn't counted them.
MOTION by N. Deegan, seconded by G. Goehdnger, all in favor and motion carded to
approve the Treasurer's Report, as submitted, and pay the current bills.
J. Pfaff asked how much money was in the Reserve Account.
S. Brautigam responded $126,776.57.
J. Pfaff asked what the total cash on hand was.
G. Goehdnger asked if he meant unencumbered.
C. Zaloom stated that those funds had nine budgeted items included. He noted that 20 to 25%
is considered safety.
S. Brautigam submitted that the cash on hand is $459,497.11, not saying if it is encumbered or
unencumbered. That is the whole year's budget.
J. Pfaff commented that that did not include taxes from the Town.
S. Brautigam responded that future revenues were not included.
G. Goehringer stated that the first half comes in January.
N. Deegan stated the total is about $400,000.
S. Brautigam stated that we have started to receive tax revenue. The 2012 Budget indicates
$404,860 is out on tax bills.

installed.
CLERK'S REPORT

Scout Troops, and a Sweet 16 Party and Wedding Reception booked for the Community Room for
June and September respectively.
MOTION by N. Deegan, seconded by G. Goehdnger, all in favor and motion carried to approve the

MAINTENANCE REPORT
3 of 9
N. Deegan read into the record the Maintenance report, which had been submitted by E. Grehoski
and reviewed by the Commissioners, showing general maintenance for the month.
G. Goehringer reported that at C. Zaloom's request he had the Maintenance Crew close the
walkway at Breakwater.
C. Zaloom stated that it is an insurance risk.
G. Goehringer reported that he has gotten price quotes for replacing the walkway with TREX.
He also noted that the name of "Ted Williams" on page two of the report should be amended to
read "Ted Wells."
MOTION by N. Deegan, seconded by G. Goehringer, all in favor and motion carried to approve the
Maintenance Report, as submitted.
N. DEEGAN ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEMS. THERE
WAS NO RESPONSE.
PROJECTS/MAINTENANCE
Breakwater Walkway Replacement
G. Goehringer reported that TREX is a plastic decking component. He has discussed the
replacement with N. Deegan and C. Zaloom and the Maintenance Crew. The crew feels that the
decking should be put on in an east/west direction, as it would splinter, if put north/south, and Dave
Reeve has informed that we need 200 linear feet.
G. Goehringer has gotten the following quotes: Madam, $5,874.00 with a $20 delivery fee; Home
Depot, $3,397.00 with an $85 delivery fee (however Home Depot cannot supply 14' length); and
RBS, $4,682.46. He noted that treated wood would be cheaper, but does not last as long. The
walkway would run in the same direction it is now. Dave Reeve has stated he will do the work
himself, and G. Goehringer feels we should be ready to go this winter. He suggested medium
grey, as it will not bleach out. We can buy the material now and store it in the barn until we're
ready.
N. Deegan asked if the proposal is to take up the existing decking.
G. Goehringer responded yes, but not the sleeper.
N. Deegan commented that TREX requires closer sleepers.
G. Goehringer stated that possibly we will laminate with % or 5/8" treated plywood and put weep
holes in between and fill in the voids with sand. He would like to try it without the plywood first, and
noted that the quoted prices did not include the treated plywood. The quotes for the plywood are:
Marjam, $1,530; Home Depot, $932.46; and RBS, $1,002.
N. Deegan noted that at Vets we decreased the joist span. I'm not in favor of using plywood.
G. Goehringer stated he would ask D. Reeve to reevaluate the under area.
C. Zaloom stated that we might have to rip it up.
N. Deegan asked if people can walk on the sand.
G. Goehringer responded no.
C. Zaloom added that we want the walkway to clear the grass, but be as close as it can be.
G. Goehringer stated that it is built into the sand and is in terrible condition.
N. Deegan suggested we shave off the last 25'.
G. Goehringer stated he would like it to go all the way. He will attach the three quotes to a
Purchase Order.
MOTION by N. Deegan, seconded by C. Zaloom, all in favor and motion carried to purchase the
material from RBS and expend $5,000 to come out of the Site Improvement budget line.

PURCHASES
Sound System at Lodge and Vets
C. Zaloom reported this is still under review.
PROJECTS
Veterans Memorial Park
Air Conditioning
N. Deegan reported that DJK was reviewing the air conditioning requirements and that the quotes
were not in yet.
C. Zaloom stated that we had allocated money for DJK to come in and spec. the job.
N. Deegan responded that it was done already.
C. Zaloom asked what size was recommended.
N. Deegan explained that it had been worked out in the odginal specs and that DJK had done the
initial installation.
G. Goehringer noted that in 2007 there was someone willing to donate a system. He suggested
we continue to get the quotes and he will in the meantime contact the person again.
C. Zaloom stated that he would like to be sure it is the fight size and in the dght location.
N Deegan agreed and stated we will get the three quotes and then check with the consultant to
vedfy specs.
G. Goehringer reported that the Town had required two systems.
Brickwork for Walkway Extension
N. Deegan explained that the walkway extension is to complete the walkway from the building to
the playground and would include landscaping and irrigation around the building.
G. Goehdnger asked if we could use the field space as a small soccer field.
N. Deegan responded that it is now used for parking when events are taldng place.
G. Goehringer suggested we take a look, and also suggested that if irrigating, why not do the
whole Park.
C. Zaloom replied that the intent was around the building area.
N. Deegan added it was to beautify the area around the building.
Decision made that N Deegan would handle the Vet Park projects with the help of G. Goehdnger,
if needed. G. Goehringer offered to look into solar panels. He and N. Deegan mentioned using
the e2 company.
G. Goehringer noted that he was accepting his assignment to oversee the Maintenance Crew
this year.
Vets Parking Lot
G. Goehringer offered that he believes the water build-up in the parking lot is brackish and
suggested cars should not be ddven through. His opinion is that the drainage pipe should be
elevated and have a flapper valve to prevent the seawater from entering.
N. Deegan added that there is a very high water table, only 20" down. He suggested cleaning out
the drains and maybe adding some and contacting an engineer to review it.
Pike Street
C. Dwyer is to present an engineering plan for the Pike Street area.
5of9
Breakwater
G. Goehdnger asked why we feel the need to move the LIPA pole.
C. Zaloom responded because people hit it.
G. Goehringer suggested it may slow care from racing around
Discussion regarding landscaping with suggestions to include perennials; such as, cactus, Beach
Plum and Rose Rugose being planted around the decking to beautify and add color.
G. Goehringer asked if there was any anticipation of moving the guard rail the depth of one car
length to create more room.
C. Zaloom asked if he meant for more parking
G. Goehdnger responded for more mobility for turning, as it's tight.
C. Zaloom asked if we would need permission from the Town.
G. Goehfinger replied yes, from the Town Trustees, and he offered to look into it and talk to Jim
King. He asked if we had surveys of any parcels.
N Deegan replied that we had all but the Lodge and they were inside in the file cabinet.
N. Deegan reminded that our cleanup permit would expire this year and we need to reapply.
G. Goehringer noted that before Breakwater is striped it should be oiled and stoned.
Yacht Club Bathrooms
G. Goehringer informed that there had been a bathroom at the YC in the past. The cesspools had
not been taken out, but were filled in. They were located just nw of the center of the railroad ties.
The old bathroom was deteriorated and did not meet codes.
N. Deegan noted that Vault toilets are more expensive than we thought and we should go with a
cesspool.
C. Zaloom noted that the proximity to the water may be a problem.
Aldrich Lane
Storage Building
G. Goehdnger would like to meet with the Commissioners at Alddch to discuss a possible addition
on the east side of the existing shed rather than a new building. He noted that the building had
been gc'd in the past at no charge and we could do that again and save money. He would like to
discuss with our Legal Counsel the past procedures.
C. Zaloom stated he would like to run point on that.
Wolf Pit
C. Zaloom will work on getting the DEC permit.
PERMIT~ FEES & POLICIES
Field Use Policy - Resolution 20~2-5 Establishing a Field Use Policy
Ed Gatto stated that he had called the day of the January 2"d work session and was told there was
no need to attend; it was not that type of meeting. He, therefore, missed the meeting and now
feels left out of the process.
N. Deegan stated that he gave him the wrong information. He understood from the email sent that
we would be working only from the correspondence/emails received.
G. Goehringer explained that it was a work session and there was back and forth discussion.
C. Zaloom stated it was a general business work session and we then want into field use and
received comments. He stated there was a miscommunication with one Commissioner giving the
6of9
wrong information, but he wants to pass the policy this evening. He suggested they make
suggestions for change, but that he wants to get the document going. It is a working document and
we are receptive to input.
Bill Hayes asked if the policy was subject to change.
C. Zaloom stated yes, every year at least.
N. Deegan disagreed and would like to hear the input first rather than enacting the policy.
B. Hayes requested the Commissioners give them a date and they will send their response by
email, which may or may not effectuate policy changes. He feels there was a misunderstanding
and the Mattituck Soccer Club is the principal user and was not included in the discussion.
G. Goehdnger stated that we heard input and concerns from others and merely refined bits and
pieces of the policy.
B. Hayes reiterated that they were not invited and have not been involved.
G. Goehringer suggested we get the policy in place and than proceed expeditiously to obtain the
lease agreement with the school.
Doug Cooper submitted that at the Scout Lodge Field Use Work Session a timeframe was given
to submit emails and others did submit them.
B. Hayes responded that they didn't send any because they didn't have time.
C. Zaloom stated he would like to get a key process going and pass a skeleton policy. He would
like their input as to maintenance, use and rotation.
J. Pfaff asked if the version being censidedng this evening is the same version presented at the
Scout Lodge.
G. Goehringer replied it was the same but simplified.
N. Deegan stated it had been refined and requested it be put off for another week.
J. Pfaff stated they were told to get comments in by the date of the work session and that the
Commissioners were looking to approve it on the 12th but not necessarily would, and then, when
they asked if they should attend the work session, they were told no.
G. Goehringer suggested we approve it and then use their comments to refine it.
C. Zaloom stated we would then have their comments and it isn't actually used until Mamh.
B. Hayes stated that they start in March.
C. Zaloom agreed and stated that we need the scheduling in by February.
N. Deegan asked that we postpone the enactment until January 19th.
G. Goehringer noted that that was not a public meeting date.
C. Zaloom stated that the January 19th date was to work out scheduling. He would like to pass the
policy tonight and answer any questions about it next week, when the teams will be providing their
scheduling requests, as we did two years ago, and then we will have another work session on
February 2nd.
B. Hayes stated there are a lot of concepts to absorb and they have a lot of concerns. He noted
there are some items that concern the School's field, but there are some items specific to soccer
that they have concerns about.
C. Zaloom stated he wants to stick to our schedule and will accept modifications now or in the
future.
N. Deegan submitted ha would like to extend the time for approval and would like to hear from the
users as to how they run their program, and wants to wait a couple of days.
C. Zalnom noted that we meet monthly and the system will breakdown, if we don't adhere to
schedule.
7 of 9
J. Pfaff stated he would like to have seen it more deady stated that there was a definite deadline,
and then they would have submitted their input. He would like some consideration and would like
to be heard.
D. Cooper stated he had the opposite opinion and felt it was cieady stated that there was a definite
deadline; everything in by January 2"~.
C. Zaloom agreed that that was the intent.
D. Cooper stated his understanding was in by then and that this was final night.
J. Pfaff stated they should have been at the last work session, but were told not to attend.
N. Deegan noted this has taken over a year and why not wait another week for a major user of a
club that has mentored kids to submit their input.
C. Zaloom stated he wants to enact it but it is not hardcoded for the next five years. If there is
successful argument, we will amend the policy.
N. Deegan stated he is not ready to pass it, particularly with the inclusion of the section stating
40% of team members must be from Park District in order to qualify as a resident team.
J. Pfaff requested a copy of the most recent version.
C. Zaloom noted we had gone back and forth. We had a $5 charge for all and then received
comments that only non-residents should pay and now we have changed it. We are flexible.
B. Hayes asked if we are punishing non-residents.
C. Zaloom stated no, not punishment, but wants some contribution from non-residents. Residents
are already paying through taxes. It is only $5 for the season, a nominal fee.
J. Pfaff noted that fees impact residents as well as non-residents. As a taxpayer it is his personal
opinion that there is a community tax and his kids are paying more now. He feel the onus is being
unfaidy put on the people who use the park, and also feels he has spent over 20 years providing a
service that helps the Park and the kids. If you need more income, keep taxes flat. He noted that
on Sunday there were 60 people using the fields with pick-up games and no money is being
collected. He feels the onus is now being put on the Soccer Club to raise fees.
D. Cooper noted it was a density of use issue.
C. Zaloom said it was a balance. Voters are not using the soccer field. It's a nominal fee only
charged to non-residents. He also noted that no one else has dropped taxes.
B. Hayes stated he is not a MPD resident but has been very involved and noted that there could
not be teams, if they used only Mattituck/Laurel players
N. Deegan stated he had not looked at the impact the $5 fee would have and agreed that teams
would not exist without non-resident participation.
B. Hayes stated that if a fee is necessary, he would rather see an application fee rather than a per
coach or per player fee.
D. Cooper stated that they are asking the taxpayer to pay for use now and that $5/player is not
unreasonable.
G. Goehringer stated, regarding the lights, that he hopes they will be used as sparsely as possible.
E. Gatto asked about the lining of the fields and other work the Soccer Club has done in the past.
C. Zaloom stated that it was discussed at the work session and we had offered to do the work. He
stated it is our responsibility. He noted that sport teams had said they would do it. If we need
special equipment, then it's our liability and then wa will service.
N. Deegan asked why change it, when they have been supplying equipment and doing the work
needed.
C. Zaloom stated it is our responsibility.
G. Goehdnger stated he would like to incorporate the information from these gentlemen and
consider it for possible modification.
8 of 9
C. Zaloom agreed that it would be an ongoing process and we might say yes or no.
MOTION by C. Zaloom, seconded by G. Goehdnger, to enact Resolut/on 2012-5 Establishing a
Field Use Policy. Vote taken with C. Zaloom and G. Goehdnger voting in favor and N. Deegan
voting against. Motion carried.
There being no further business to come before the meeting, motion by N. Deegan, seconded by
C. Zaloom, all in favor, and motion carded to adjourn the meeting at 8:40 p.m.

RESOLUTION 2012-5
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A FIELD USE POLICY
WHEREAS, the Mattituck Park District currently has no wdtten field use policy;
and
WHEREAS, the Park District has a responsibility to its taxpayers to use their tax
dollars as efficiently as possible; and
WHEREAS, the Park District would like to provide our sports' community with fair
and equitable distribution and maximum use of our fields; and
WHEREAS, the Park District has determined that a policy containing scheduling
and application procedures, fees and charges, and rules and regulations would
help attain these goals; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Commissioners of the Matfituck Park
Distdct hereby adopts and enacts the attached Field Use Policy:
Enacted: January 12, 2012
Field Use Policy for Athletic Fields
A field use policy is created to balance the needs of the public fbr recreational athletic facilities, the capacity
of those facilities, and the cost to maintain them. The goal is to manage Mattituck Park District (MPD)
athletic fields in a manner assuring equitable distribution and maximum use of the facilities by the public, at
reasonable cost to the taxpayer. This policy provides a means to:
1. Outline available fields and dates of usage.
2. Outline facility-scheduling procedures and policies.
3. Define fees and charges for use of facilities.
4. Define rules and regulations regarding use.
5. Manage the limited number o f MPD athletic fields in a fair and equitable manner.
The Mattituck Park District is responsible for scheduling. The following fields are available for scheduled
league play:
Park Use Type Approx League Seasons
Aldrich 1A (lighted) Field Sport March I - November 25
Aldrich lB (lighted) Field Sport March I - November 25
Aldrich 2 Field Sport March 1 -- November 25
Aldrich 3 Field Sport March I -- November 25
Aldrich 4 Field Sport i March I November 25
Peconic Bay Blvd Baseball March I - November 15
Bay Ave Baseball March l November 15
Bay Ave Tennis March I - November 25
Breakwater Volleyball June I - September 5
Fields may be available on a limited basis based upon maintenance resources and field conditions.
Field type can be modified annually as established at annual field use meeting.
In order to maintain the MPD fields at safe and competitive level for use by the most athletes, MPD is
required to manage the scheduling and maintenance of the fields. This allows for rest and restoration of the
fields after periods of hard use. MPD standards for maintenance of the fields are:
1. Total hours permitted limited to 50 hours per week for Softball/Baseball and 32 hours per week for
soccer and lacrosse per field.
2. 600 cumulative permitted hours will constitute the Softball/Baseball field being taken out of service
for a "rest period" of 28 consecutive days and 400 cumulative permitted hours for soccer and lacrosse
fields.
3. The "rest period" will commence on the Monday following the cumulative contact hour limit.
4. Extended contact hours will result in an extended "rest period". MPD will decide on the extended
period based on field inspection.
5. Turf and playing surface rebuilding program commences as soon as the field is out of service and will be
completed within the first four days. This includes aerating, over seeding, fertilizing, topdressing and
scheduled maintenance.
6. The Mattituck Park District reserves the right to suspend field availability during periods of inclement
weather, poor playing conditions, damage, (which would cause hazardous safety considerations) and
opportunities for necessary field maintenance requirements.
