Mayor Trinks called the Public Hearing to order at 7:00 p.m. to discuss an Ordinance appropriating $270,000 for improvements to Sage Park Middle School and Windsor High School Athletic Fields, and authorizing the issue of $270,000 bonds and notes to finance the appropriation.

Mayor Trinks read the notice.

Mr. Bradshaw Smith, 23 Ludlow Road, addressed the Council. He noted that the last time this was discussed, it was mentioned that synthetic turf would have benefits with long term savings, which would outweigh the short-term costs. He feels that now may be the time to do it, rather than later.

Mr. Brian Gillespie, 14 Farms Road, spoke in favor of the ordinance. The baseball field is used for over 80 games. He would also like to have lights for the baseball field. If the field is moved sometime in the future, perhaps we could get lights.

Mayor Trinks adjourned the meeting at 7:07 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Kristin Countryman

Clerk of the Windsor Town Council
