5. c) Fields Committee: Bob Uzenoff commented on the Soccer Clubs storage shed at Morehouse Farm Park. It did not appear to be in the same style and appearance as he remembered from the proposal. Bob was of the understanding that the Commission gave approval for the shed with the stipulation that it was to be of similar style. The Commissioners will take a look and give their opinions at next meeting.
6. d) Programs Committee: Winter programs are underway and going very well. The ski program is going well, with the very cold weather there has been good man made snow at Southington. The Basketball program is running smoothly. There has been added time to some of the games due to numbers that are a little higher than they should be in some leagues. We had record numbers for after school sports & fitness this season which caused us to have a waiting list for the first time.

They have the support of the Weston Board of Education and the Athletic Department of the High School currently. The Supervision for the event and clean up will be provided by the

1. parents of the team members. Bob Uzenoff moved to approve the proposal for the fundraiser pending the condition of the courts left in at least as good shape as they found them in when they get there and the logistics of the event can be successfully worked out with Director Dave Ungar. Bob moved motion and was seconded by Chairman Juneau. All in favor 5-0.
2. c) Other new business: Discussion of the High School Stadium bleachers followed with the question being where does Weston go from here? Who are the support groups that need to push the bleacher project as this will be the third year of the Football Stadium without bleachers on the home side.
