What this means
The commission accepted donated funds from a high school student to help buy AEDs, which are portable devices used in a heart emergency, and storage boxes for them. The donation is intended to support parks and Little League use and could add one to two more AEDs on town property. The commission also backed a bid waiver for parking lot installation at Lantern Hill Valley because the town did not receive the required three bids. It also heard that summer camps were consolidated into two sites because of low enrollment in the youngest age group, and that the STEAP grant project is nearing the end of contracting.
