Eric Chapman and Paul Hirliman spoke on behalf of Pal-Mac Youth Baseball, requesting possible use of the Quaker Road reclaimed gravel pit for baseball fields. There is currently a shortage of baseball fields and limits the growth of the baseball program. The Quaker Road location is centrally located with ample room for fields and parking. The first step would be to put in a 90’ diamond for the Senior League , an acess road and limited parking. Richard Roets, Highway Superintendent, stated that DEC has not released the property yet but that should happen shortly. The land is perfect for recreational use, can not be used for building. The Board was in agreement that this was a good use of the land but would like the Recreation Department to come to a Board Meeting with Pal-Mac Youth Baseball and discuss further. The Board requested that they bring a sketch of the field plan.
