The Chairman welcomed Jimmy Manchester from Park and Recreation (the Nobadeer

introduced Diane O’Neal – Town Procurement Officer and Jim Webb – CHA
Sports/Construction Administrator.
Mr. Beaugrand, informed Jimmy that we would be taking his presentations in sequence.
Mr. Manchester chose to do the Field House Project first.
Mr. Manchester was asked if this money was for building the field house only, to which
he replied yes. The question was also asked where the money was going to come from to
maintain the building in the future, since CPC monies cannot be used for Open Space
maintenance. To which he answered that it was going to come from the Town of
Nantucket’s budget.
Rich Brannigan spoke briefly on how impressed he was with the new fields and
encouraged the committee members to go by the fields and see the work being done. The
Committee then moved onto the second part of the Park and Recreation request, which
dealt with the synthetic turf for the new field. Mr. Manchester them introduced Dick
Webb to speak on this.
Mr. Webb brought some samples of turfs for the committee to see along with a mock up
sample of how it would look in the ground. Emphasizing “artificial turf is not for NO
maintenance but LOW maintenance”. He was asked about the results of a study that was
made by the DEP on artificial fields, which he did not have in his possession but told the
committee that they could go on the DEP website under the artificial turf title and get the
results of that study if they wished.
Mr. Voigt asked the question, if this project needed an HDC approval which was not
answered but he felt it needed to be looked into by the applicant.
