for a second time. It was noted that usually at the meetings there are not a lot of guests who
wish to speak. It was suggested that we follow Roberts Rules and that we consider having
assigned seats.

REPORTS
Director’s Report
PARKS RECREATION AND SENIOR CITIZENS COMMISSION
Director’s Report October 2023
Please note this update for your review.
1. Commission Meeting:
The regular meeting of the Commission is scheduled for Tuesday,
October 17th, 2023, at 7:00 PM, in the Ledyard Senior Center. Please
contact the office immediately if you will not be able to attend.
2. Judge Crandall Upgrades:
After meeting on site with Public Works and the Overhead Door
contractor we made some changes that will save money and eliminate
some of the prep work. We are now looking at hand operated openers
instead of motorized openers to save money. In addition, we will be
mounting the doors to the inside of the window frame to prevent having to
take siding off and remove the speaker.
3. Ericson Park Walking Path:
The path at Ericson has been refurbished and a section of the path was
relocated to allow for the anticipated extension of the parking lot.
4. Food Pantry Deliveries:
We have started delivering meals to homebound seniors with the help of
the Ledyard Rotary Club.
5. Senior Center Railing:
The ADA door openers were raised so they are no longer a hazard. Before
people were getting their fingers caught between the railing and buttons.
6. Events Magazine:
We have submitted info for the Winter Events magazine that will be
delivered the week of November 20th.
7. Roof Projects:
We are using the Garland Company to facilitate the roof repairs. This
company is under contract and is working on roofs for Public Works.
Because they are under contract, we don’t have to go out to bid saving
time.
