Changes coming to Recreation Committee

The recreation committee's new chairman Tony Cifelli and vice-chairman Jim Harlow are encouraging committee members to explore and define the role the committee will play in the upcoming year.
Currently, the POA general manager Dave Johnston is interviewing candidates to replace the director of recreation, Larry Koonse. Koonse is scheduled to retire in the middle of next month.
Cifelli has asked for input from Koonse regarding the role of the committee in relationship with the recreation department. Koonse said he inherited the current system. The recreation committee has always reported on facilities instead of on projects.
Cifelli suggested the committee meet later this week to discuss the role the committee wants to play in the new administration. Almost everyone involved feels like now would be a good time to alter the direction of the committee. The transition would include the new department director.
In the meantime, the recreation department is getting ready for summer. On Friday the outdoor pools will be inspected by the state for water clarity. The pools will open on Memorial Day weekend.
