AGREEMENT WITH MATTITUCK-CUTCHOGUE UFSD—ALDRICH LANE FIELDS
This discussion took place during the Work Session held prior to this Special Meeting and all
Commissioners agreed to have L. Krauza place the discussion notes in the Special Meeting Minutes. The
Minutes are as follows.
M. Ryan suggested we go back to the original Agreement with a one-year term. The Park District will
control the areas outside the fence during all seasons except the Spring in which the School District
would control. M. Ryan distributed a proposed field layout sheet for review. Field 3 can accommodate
a junior size field. The School is only using full-size fields.
M. Ryan spoke about a new group called North Fork United with 8 teams and players 12 years old and
younger and they would like to utilize these fields for 4 teams. The people running this League reside in
Mattituck and Laurel and 95%of the players attend the School District. M. Ryan would like to offer
them something.
M. Ryan would like to continue a good relationship with the School District. M. Ryan said that the
demand for soccer is less in the spring and that the School District's LaCrosse teams need the fields in
the spring and can use everything outside the fence. He also stated that there would be availability
during the times that the School District would not be using the fields.
M. Ryan said that the Park District would have exclusivity in issuing all permits for the fields. The School
District gave us a schedule.
M. Ryan spoke about some confusion with L.Tortora and Chrissy regarding permits. Recently Chrissy
issued permits that L.Tortora was not aware of. M. Ryan feels that all Commissioners should be aware
of all permits issued. M. Ryan would like L.Tortora and Chrissy to email all Commissioners on all permits
issued.
M. Ryan said L.Tortora is not in favor of this new Agreement because she is concerned about the
possible lack of availability for soccer in the spring. M. Ryan said the soccer club has no residency
requirements and doesn't feel we should cater to non-residents.

Gregg Wormuth,the School District's Athletic Director,contacted M. Ryan last week about his concerns
regarding the Track being behind schedule. Gregg needs fields for"soccer hell week"starting 8/25/14.
They practice every day that week from 7 to 10 a.m.and 5 to 7 p.m.
R.Williamson stated that when he removed the backstop, Bill Hayes created another field.
M. Ryan stated we need to make it clear to the School District the costs,etc.associated with the
Agreement. The School District will have to re-seed the fields, pay for lights and irrigation, and cutting
the fields would depend on who was controlling the fields during which season. The Park District will
issue all permits.
All Commissioners agreed to pursue an Agreement with the School District. M. Ryan will provide D.
Prokop with the details and speak with Gregg further about the costs.
