3 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> February 22, 2021 <br /> APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS <br /> Discussion and Approval of the Special Event Application: Heroes in Transition Ruck4HIT Not Your Ordinary <br /> Challenge Weekend: 6 am Friday April 30 2021 — 12 pm Sunday,May 2,2021,Nicole Spencer: (continued) <br /> The weekend event challenges the miles collectively rucked by running, walking,biking,paddling, swimming <br /> and hiking while wearing a ruck sack/backpack or something similar to symbolize the burdens our men and <br /> women of the armed forces carry each day. <br /> Ms. Spencer indicated the overall goal is camaraderie although it is difficult with social distancing <br /> requirements. Being outdoors and providing a base camp would greatly assist this event. Participating teams <br /> may not be at the park at the same time so the numbers may constantly fluctuate throughout the weekend. <br /> Tents are proposed, but not required. For tents encompassing over 400 square feet, a building permit is <br /> necessary. <br /> Heritage Park is an ideal location with space and size for social distancing as well as safety with sidewalks and <br /> lighted parking areas for visibility. <br /> With necessary approvals, the gathering site would be located behind the Recreation Department at Heritage <br /> Park. Portable toilets and trash pick-up is required. Applicable regulatory departments have signed off on the <br /> application with stipulations with the exception of the Police Department which may require detail officers. <br /> The event is contingent upon all approvals. <br /> The application also requires a Temporary Sign Permit application. Approval of 18"x24" signage would allow <br /> for the promotion of the event,business sponsorship and safety. Signage must adhere to the mandates of the <br /> Town's Sign Code. <br /> It was recommended the abutters be notified by the applicant of this event, dates and times. The challenge <br /> would also be advertised locally to promote awareness. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Gottlieb to approve the Special Event Application and Temporary Sign <br /> Permit of Heroes in Transition for the Annual Ruck4HIT Not Your Ordinary Challenge Weekend on <br /> April 30, 2021 through May 2, 2021 as referenced subject to the additional paperwork to be completed <br /> and adherence to the stipulations imposed by all applicable Department Heads. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman O'Hara. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Selectman Cotton, yes Selectman O'Hara, yes Selectman Sherman, yes <br /> Selectman Gottlieb, yes Selectman Weeden,yes Opposed, none <br />
