Reservation requests should be submitted to the Town Clerk.  If there are conflicts, the parties involved will be notified by the Town Clerk and will have two weeks to resolve the conflicts.

 

If unresolved, the reserving parties will come before the Parks and Recreation Board.  For the Fall Schedule, conflicts will be presented on the second Monday in August.  For the Spring Schedule, conflicts will be presented on the second Monday in March.  If the Parks and Recreation Board is unable to resolve the conflicts, the issues will be forwarded to the Town Board.
