ELIZABETH TOWNSHIP PARK BOARD 

  

Meeting Minutes for December 1st, 2011

 

In Attendance: Tom Moyer, Pete Parsil, Reed Means, Rita Snavely , Rodney May, Curtis Strasheim , Carol Weaver, and Ken Fillo .   Lisa Rothermel was excused.   Steve Garman

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 minutes were then accepted with the correction.

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.
