ELIZABETH TOWNSHIP PARK BOARD
Meeting Minutes for December 1st, 2011
In Attendance: Tom
Moyer, Pete Parsil, Reed Means,
The
meeting was called to order at 7:01 p.m.
The
minutes were corrected to that “the posts may be installed on the weekend of
November 12th.”
The
work on the pavilion will start on Monday, December 5th, weather
permitting.
We are
waiting for the color selection chart for the rest rooms.
The
Ga-Ga pit has been installed and is being used by the park patrons.
The
tree grant is a work in progress. The Supervisors have committed $2000 in cash
for the project. Labor and materials
by the Township road crew and/or other donors can also be used to increase the
amount that we receive from the grant. There
is a March 12th deadline for the grant.
We estimate that the funding will pay for 25 trees. We would anticipate
that the trees would be planted in the fall of 2012 if the grant is approved.
Carol
provided a list of donors to the park as we consider a sign to acknowledge these
donors.
Peter
Parsil announced that he is resigning from the board after 8 + years of service
to the Township. Pete introduced Mr.
Steve Garman to the Board. Mr. Garman has offered to fill the vacant position
pending approval by the Board of Supervisors. The
Board members thanked Pete for his dedication to the creation of the park, and
the Board welcomed Mr. Garman to the Board.
Pete will continue to assist in the application process for the tree
grant.
Curt reported that he conducted an inspection of the park’s playground
equipment and everything passed the inspection.
Curt gave the Board an update on an offer from the operator of the
Lititz/Warwick sewage treatment plant to provide us with processed/treated/dried
fertilizer from the plant. The plant
produces 20 tons every 2 weeks. It
is recommended that it should be applied on playing fields at the rate of 3 tons
per acre with 3 or 4 applications per year.
We
would need to have a storage location and transportation has not been
determined.
Curt
said that he uses an electronic leash for his dog. The leashes cost about $150
and have an effective range of 100 yards.
The
next meeting will be held on Thursday, January 5th, 2012.
The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
